| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk , thanks and yes, I did read the last paragraph. I guess I’m wasn’t really focusing on future-proofing as I have no desire to switch my Diablo and DAC module, which doesn’t allow for such integrations. But it’s a good point as who knows ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk thanks for this. Very helpful advice. Looking forward to trying some cable options, whichever way I go. I guess all options have limitations of sorts. Innuos has no AES (except new Pulse line which may signal a general change for fut... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk , yeah of course I get that the dealer is biased :) I didn’t spell it out as it was obvious. Unfortunately I’ve yet to find a dealers/salesperson who doesn’t let their biases get in the way of getting great advice. I know there are some ou... | |
| Occasional Sound Imbalance Issue @holmz my amp is a Gryphon Diablo 300, my speakers are B&W 802D2’s, and my cables are Nordost Valhalla 2’s. My full system is listed on my profile. I’ve seen others state that the Diablo needs low capacitance cables, but I’ve also heard that ... | |
| Occasional Sound Imbalance Issue Experimenting a bit more, the sound changes slightly when I plug any devise into a different socket. The changes are related to how vocals are presented in space. Some sockets will put the vocals further back in the mix with a wider presentation... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lordmelton , good idea! However one of the sellers is a dealer. They responded to my email (where I noted the products I was interested in) that “the N20 is inferior to the K50” (He was the seller of the K50). I suspect “inferior” is too strong a... | |
| Occasional Sound Imbalance Issue So @holmz i couldn’t resist trying your idea immediately and tried moving my player/server, and sure enough the problem returned. I next tried the generic cord plugged from the wall (not my Torus) to the player/server. Unfortunately this test won... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “It’s up to you”. They are all great options, can’t decide, lol…. Maybe I will negotiate with all three and let the best result be the decider. On the other hand this could be my only opportunity to “trial” a MU1 without purchasing a new one. I w... | |
| Occasional Sound Imbalance Issue @holmz one other thing worth mentioning - I think you responded on my thread related to the feedback “roar”I was experimenting on my new Rel subs. The left sub (only) picks up a 60Hz AC hum somehow, feeds it back and increases its amplitude in pe... | |
| Occasional Sound Imbalance Issue Regarding measurements with a scope, I originally considered renting one, but I’m thinking this issue is so subtle (but still very annoyingly noticeable if even half paying attention) that it won’t show up with basic measurements. I don’t know if... | |
| Occasional Sound Imbalance Issue @holmz , great idea walking the generic cord through the system. I will try that as soon as I have the issue again. Could be a red herring, but I a have a suspicion that the sensitivity is related to the power cord leading to my Innuos Zenith Mk... | |
| Occasional Sound Imbalance Issue @clearthinker , in my first thread on this issue I was convinced it was a room issue until I ruled that out. I did rearrange my entire system to face the opposite way, changed the couch position, and set up tons of padding to make a near 100% symm... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? So with my plan to buy used and live with a K50, a MU1, and possibly a N20 for a few months, I now have options to start with any of the above. The N20 and K50 are in mint condition but the MU1 has a scratch on the rear corner that you can only s... | |
| Occasional Sound Imbalance Issue @noromance , yes, I did try that, and everything under the Sun in the prior thread. Just reduced to amp, CD player (old crappy one), and speakers. To be honest it was hard to tell if the problem was still there. As I mentioned, the issue is onl... | |
| Occasional Sound Imbalance Issue Update: after leaving my system unpowered for 12 hours the problem is gone again. System sounds great. Of course, the system needs to warm up and settle in before sounding optimal but the imbalance issues are gone. Until I move something again,... |
