| Occasional Sound Imbalance Issue There are certainly a lot of random theories that could be possible. It certainly seems to be a more pronounced problem with some Torus outlets vs others. But @tmiddle I think you could be on the right track here. Just a theory, possibly in the ca... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? So I asked my dealer for an ETA on the Audioquest AES cable, and lo and behold, it just arrived this morning. Like I said, happens every single time I check in for an update :) Anyways at least I have an AES cable of decent quality to start burni... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @grannyring , for sure have read yours and other’s accounts of the improvements fuses can bring. I definitely plan to follow up on this when I get to the tweak phase. I’m sure based on the many accounts out there that the fuses would lift both the... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Back to the N20. Have been listening all night while working on my laptop. I know, not ideal (the working part). It is just so enjoyably immediate, so condensed (not compressed), so inviting with a touch of warmth, and so opposite really from the ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley totally get it. First, I do expect to get back most of the value of the devices I try but do not keep. Also I wouldn’t actually go further than the K50 now without first unloading one of the other servers I have, even if I “wish” I could ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? And they refuse returns for cables in many circumstances. And generally frown upon the concept. Also I find that being in Canada, brands often prefer dealing directly when there is no distribution in my country available. That was the case with I... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Speaking of “pumping the brakes”, one seller responded that their K50 is confirmed by Antipodes as being the V1 hardware, prior to the major 2021 revision in response to the supply chain issues they were facing. I don’t think there is any consensu... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Yes, I found getting the positioning the best it could be before the tweaks became less frequent took a lot of incremental adjustments over a long period of time. I’m sure I could further refine the speaker positions with the N20, but the towed in... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? And @ghasley , I do have sharpie marks on my floor for the EXACT speaker positions, much to the chagrin of my wife. All I had on hand was a red sharpie, so my wife was like “OMG IS THAT BLOOD”…. She thought maybe I had truly taken my hobby too far... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley , I probably wouldn’t have believed you on having to reset up my speakers had I not already found the need to do that between the N20 and the Innuos products! At least I knew from what I was hearing that the speakers needed an initial ad... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I was waiting until this morning to confirm, but the N20’s bass has become fuller rather suddenly. It’s not as big overall compared with the Innuos boxes at this point, but now it’s got so much more drive and solidity in the bass than the Innuos, ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Lastly, it’s not a deciding factor at all, but if the N20 wins out, I must say that I like the screen. Even if I’ve had it off in critical listening mode for the most part. And it’s the only device I’m looking at that has one! | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley , and others, good advice - thanks. I have no intention to move on to another server anytime soon, even if I end up acquiring another right now. My thought is I can hook the K50 up to a cheap DAC I have and just run it for months. I’ve he... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk yes, that is correct. I have two sets of toe in positions marked with a sharpie on the floor! I have Herbie’s gliders so it’s easy to move the speakers between the two positions. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Yep. Going back to the N20 (with presumed limited USB performance so not a full test), it’s just so much more solid sounding, with a nice warmth to it. Less going on with imaging though. And a very subtle high-hat on one particular track is totall... |
