| Innuos Network Isolation Switch and Reclocker (Phoenix) @jon2020 , after all my updates I am currently very happy with the PhoenixNET. It adds clarity and focus, in a way that is smooth. But my experience with it has shown it does not always have a positive effect when paired with some components. I... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @w123ale , I’ve not had direct experience with combined DAC/Streamers, so I can’t say first hand whether separating the streamer from the DAC will help. But on the accounts of many, many others, it sounds to me that there is a very large benefit.... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Back to the MU1. A point I forgot to mention, is that I find both the generic power cord that comes with it and also my Audioquest Hurricane to be looser in the MU1’s power connector socket than with most of my other gear. The slightest nudge will... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Some developments, close to the end of this particular journey… I’ll say this right up front in case it gets missed below, but with my upgraded cables my Innuos PhoenixNET pairs beautifully with the MU1. With the new cables the PhoenixNET does not... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @snopro , just saw this now. I had previously opened a ticket with Vana Inc from their website requesting the Jorma, but didn’t receive any response. Can I ask, what other AES cables you have compared with the Jorma, and what differences you fou... | |
| Demise of bass quality in Main speakers I experimented with Rel subwoofers. Purchased two Carbon Specials to pair with my B&W 802 D2 speakers and my Gryphon Diablo 300 amp. Bought the upgraded hi-level “Blueline” cables too. I know many, many trusted audiophiles love these subs and ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Thanks @lalitk . Definitely something to keep in mind. At times I wonder about mixing and matching too many different cable brands in my system and risking mismatches, vs leveraging single brand synergies. Not a big concern though, not by a long s... | |
| AES/EBU cable shootout “If I gave the impression that these sound restrained in the upper frequencies, I am sorry but that’s not the case.” @svenjosh no you didn’t give that impression at all, I was just interested as to whether there was any difference on these fronts... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley while I’m somewhat curious about the buzz surrounding Musetec and I don’t think these people’s experiences should be discounted (questioning is fine), it’s certainly not a priority as my DAC tick box is definitively checked with the Tamba... | |
| AES/EBU cable shootout @svenjosh thanks so much for this comparison! Really helpful. Congrats on arriving at an informed and cost effective decision. Two questions I have: 1) Can you comment on the upper frequency differences between the Omega and Sablon, along with ho... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Awesome, thank you @svenjosh ! I see that you as well were unsuccessful in securing a Jorma cable this side of the Atlantic. I even tried contacting UK dealers and distributors, and Jorma directly. They don’t seem to care about selling their pr... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lordmelton thanks for the suggestion. I will try to get around to that and definitely still have an interest in the Musetec. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @svenjosh , back to you a more interesting topic, for me at least, how is your digital AES cable shootout with your MU1 going? Can you share details of how the Sablon cable compares and contrasts with the Shunyata Omega? Really looking forward t... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “This is a great thread, let’s keep it focused on the Grimm and not DAC talk, which for whatever reason gets people overly worked up.” @metaldetektor , agreed, there are lots of DAC war/opinion threads already and I didn’t intend to steer the dis... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @melm , just to emphasize what I said, it is simply a hypothesis that those comparing the Tambaqui to the Musetec are feeding it with a more basic source resulting in the Tambaqui being more revealing of system flaws. It was more of a “what-if” s... |
