Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
Just to add to this thread. I have owned the Grimm for a fair amount of time! 3+ years. One of the earlier adopters. Having met and spoken with the manufacturers close to nearly a decade back gave me the strength that they know this domain as wel... 
streamer need...........
Certainly the Grimm If you want to have an as good or hopefully better performance than the present. I haven’t heard your Burmester or Aurender, hence I add the word ‘hopefully’.  
Best Dedicated Streamer
I have owned a Grimm MU-1 since December'19. At that time the Taiko was its main competitor.  Both units did very well, but I ended up with the Grimm as I could listen to music for umpteen hours (6-8 hour sessions) without any fatigue. The Grim... 
Elrog 300b vs we300b
I would say that any 300B tube made with Molybdenum would be far ahead of those mentioned here.   As far as I know only Elrog makes them. I Have been through many tube amps (including 300B's) and use their 243's (211 with moly). And it's a dynami... 
The Most Cost Effective Tweak
@lp2cd It's certainly not inexpensive, but one might call it a "tweak" until you hear the difference and that's using balanced AC power. A proper balanced transformer/power conditioner will be expensive and HEAVY, but in every system where I've us...

Point of higher priced streamer?
It's quite simple in my mind as I waited really long before I got one.Generally well made servers sound as good, or better than your decent CD transport in playback. And a good server should make no difference in playback quality if the file is pu... 
Member Almarg passed away last night
May Al's soul rest in eternal peace. Condolences to Margaret and the family. May God give you lots of strength at this time to go through your grief. 
LP - first needle drop or 2nd or 3rd??
I do needle drop transfers and find the first run to be quite the one to go with. Normally you will also need to set the recording levels so it does not clip. And hence may need a pass over the first side. Unless you know the music from before.If ... 
Lamm pre amp
KW6, I would try the Concert Fidelity LS-080 latest version of their pre-amp. It has the tonal richness, and transparency along with a remote. I have been using that with my Lamm Power Amps for well over 10 years and have found nothing that out do... 
When Did Your System Disappear?
Can't help it........when it was stolen would be more appropriate! 
How many amps do you own?
Multiple amps for different drivers in the system to get the sound I want is why I need multiple amps. 3 pairs of tube amps.
