| Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC @stuartk - I have the same DAC as you and used a BNC cable (Oyaide 510 ) with adaptors without any problems. Later, I needed a longer cable and purchased another of the same cable except the longer cable had rca connectors. I compared the cable ... | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? @larsman - Wishbone Ash and Montrose, what a show! Man, we had some good music back then. I have a few good warm-up memories (like Billy Idol for Def Leppard) but limited to people/groups that I didn't really know well at the time, it would be: ... | |

| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @carlsbad2 - I finally finished installing the two magnetic breakers/switches that SMc Audio sent me to replace the fuses in my SMc amplifiers. Each switch powers one of the two outlets on the duplex that the monoblocks are plugged into. See pic... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @devinplombier - Thanks. I believe the Grimm MU2 offers a jack for an IR sensor but not the actual sensor. It just seems like a clunky solution for an $18K piece of electronics, in this era. I will have to check out the Roon app volume control ... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? I hear you on trying to figure out what works. I am wiring them to the hot wire of the incoming 20A line with the two separate load side wires going one to each half of a duplex, that I will separate by cutting the tab between the two hot sides. T... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? @carlsbad2 - I can’t for two reasons. First, the manufacturer and model are being held close to the vest by SMc. They apparently tried more than a few before finding the one they believed sounded best with their equipment. Second, in addition to... | |
| Grimm MU2 Experience @wlp3 - thanks for the update. For my clarity, you are saying that you have the volume fixed in the Roon settings, and then you are using the on-board volume control in the MU2? If yes, how do you physically change the volume except by manually ... | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? I would have used the 30A fuse in conjunction with the 10A magnetic breakers I just received and am working on installing. Instead, I ordered 1/4 inch solid copper rod today, that I will cut in 7/8 inch lengths to replace my fuses for when I get ... | |
| Grimm MU2 Experience As with some of you, I too am skeptical about considering a one-box solution but what really interests me about the MU2 is all the positives that I am hearing about its DAC section. In his Twittering Machines review, Michael Lavorgna said: "If y... | |
| Dumb question......why do you need a preamp? Having enough output voltage from a source component to drive the amplifier(s) is a good start, but may not be enough for some listeners depending on their equipment, set-up configuration, and listening preferences. Listeners who use passive volum... | |
| Dumb question......why do you need a preamp? Sometimes, AI can be your friend: An integrated amplifier increases the strength of electrical signals to reproduce sound. It combines a preamp, power amp, and other functions into a single unit. IOW, an integrated amplifier already includes... | |
| Grimm MU2 Experience @mclinnguy - It seems the HFK reviewer appreciates the sound of the MU2 primarily for its streamer (i.e., Roon endpoint) and DAC capabilities, and then as a preamp, but he noticed improved bass and a richer sounding presentation after inserting hi... | |
| Anyone replace the springs of a Nobsound footer? If considering other options, I replaced the springs under my speakers with the larger size of these in the front and use the next size down in the back. Plenty of sizes to match the weight of whatever you are supporting. Platinum silicone elasto... | |
| Anyone replace the springs of a Nobsound footer? Agree with @carlsbad2 and @audphile1 - easier to use more Nobsounds in the front. You might get it done with a single extra Nobsound in the front-center of each speaker, or by using two of them at each front corner. If too stiff, you can just re... |
