| LAMM M1.2 - Feedback - Advice - Please - anyone heard these? @fsmithjack - you might consider calling The Music Room (TMR) to check inventory or to find out if they have heard of any amplifiers coming up for sale soon from Lamm or Ypsilon. You may not get rock bottom pricing but they are usually in the ba... | |
| Router Ethernet Cable to Streamer @ggecas2 - I believe that is a switch-mode power supply (SMPS) not a linear power supply (LPS) but it is the same as comes with the small ifi gear so it is probably a higher quality lower noise supply than the SMPS that comes in the box with the T... | |
| Router Ethernet Cable to Streamer @ozzy - there may be some confusion since the SFP convertors are made by TP Link and from your posts it sounds as if your router is also a TP Link brand. If you substitute the word "router" that would clear it up.Also, as I might have said previou... | |
| Router Ethernet Cable to Streamer Versions of this discussion can be found on this forum and the recommendations are all over the place so you may want to do a search. Like @ozzy, my longest run (15M) from my router is fiber using TP Link converters and short runs of CAT 8 at the... | |
| LAMM M1.2 - Feedback - Advice - Please - anyone heard these? I have owned the 1.2 Reference monos, 1.1 monos, and LL2 Deluxe preamp.IMO, Lamm makes very good sounding gear. However, also IMO, their hybrid amplifiers (M1.2s and M2.2s) do not provide a classic tube sound although they do seem to add a dimens... | |
| Greatest Audiogon Audiophiles ever and the GOAT So many good people here over the years who have displayed helpfulness, knowledge, and tolerance, with Almarg (RIP) being the standard setter for his evenhanded, patient, and helpful explanations of how things work. There have been many memorable,... | |
| FTC may end amplifier rule! ACTION NEEDED @jwl244 - The responses you are getting are related to people's skepticism that the government can effectively communicate, monitor, or enforce something like how power output is reported by manufacturers.While I generally don't trust the governm... | |
| Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy? Happy here....I have a few in rotation but as discussed below by @noromance, I generally go back to solid core. Harmonic Technology did it well with multiple, individually insulated (with foamed PE), OCC, solid core wires of different sizes. I a... | |
| What are all these metal cans/pods sitting on top of electronics? @spencem - I hope your vial holds a lot of those little suckers.... At 0.000000000000000000000000223 kg each you might need to mass load your mass load. | |
| What are all these metal cans/pods sitting on top of electronics? Brass is a popular audiophile material used for damping electronics (and as footers under electronics and speakers). Brass weights with a thin cork or elastomer backing are sometimes used to reduce resonances from undamped metal chassis tops cover... | |
| Best Ethernet Setup for Streaming Audio @boakey39 - Just one set right now, 15M from my router to my music server and then I am using USB from the server to my DAC because that input sounds best. However, I am scheduled to receive a new DAC soon that will have much improved inputs, S/P... | |
| Best Ethernet Setup for Streaming Audio The FMC the OP is talking about was recommended by reviewer Steve Plaskin (currently with Twittering Machines) a couple of years ago when he was with AudioStream. The idea is to disrupt EMI that may have been picked up by the Ethernet cable. If yo... | |
| Moving audio gear in sub zero temperatures I found this:Samsung Plasma TVs can be stored at temperatures ranging from -4 °F to 113 °F (-20 °C to 45 °C). Storing a Samsung Plasma TV in an environment with temperatures outside this temperature range can damage the TV, even if it's not in use... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO Thanks @veroguy and all for keeping up this thread and for providing the feedback about optimal connections. I am planning to use AES/EBU out of a Metrum Ambre Roon endpoint. I used I2S with my Metrum Adagio but AES/EBU sounded just as good. Wi... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 Thanks @facten for posting the review of the B4B. I hope the reviewer got it right because what he described is what I hear from the Mystique V3 and exactly why I ordered a B4B:It sounds organic. It sounds Natural. It sounds like music. The detai... |
