| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “I have Nordost Odin2 for the rest of my system” @svenjosh in that case I’m pretty sure I know which AES cable will win your shootout :) Nevertheless, let us know how your testing with the Sablon and Jorma go! The 1.5m minimum for digital cable... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @fastfreight , @sdl4 there is a cable difference for sure, which I have thought about. I am temporarily using a very low end Cardas AES cable on the MU1 (the old green Cardas AES cable, not the current one. With my Innuos setup I have Audioquest D... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @sdl4, the lower midrange dip in my Innuos gear is based purely on my subjective comparison listening to the Grimm MU1 which I also have on hand. With the MU1, sounds in this band (like guitars) are far more forward and as a result the related det... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “waiting to try the Sablon this weekend and Jorma next week” @svenjosh how are you able to trial those three excellent cables in such short order? Mark at Sablon told me he couldn’t do a demo or return privileges at least with the 1.5m AES cable ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? So I switched back over to Innuos (Zenith Mk3 + PhoenixUSB + PhoenixNET) from my MU1, yes three boxes instead of one, and have a few new insights after a day of listening, that maybe change some of my initial findings. Previously I had called the ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @svenjosh not surprised the Odin 2 is better than the Omega. Isn’t it an order of magnitude more expensive than the Shunyata, if I’m not mistaken? I think anything from the Odin 2 loom is going to be near “the best”. Thanks for sharing your findi... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Pictures here! Note I plan to do something more elegant about the TV at some point. Will also be getting floor to ceiling acoustic panels for behind my speakers soon. If the MU1’s screen looks funny it’s because I’ve not removed the cellophane ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “I use fixed volume on the MU1 and the Tambaqui and control volume with my preamp. Best this way I think.” @fastfreight , that is how I have it configured too. That said, I tried flipping back and forth between fixed vs variable volume and I co... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @peter_s I do not hear a difference when using fixed vs variable volume on the MU1. But that said I’ve been using it with the volume control disabled. I’m going to look up that statement you referenced in the manual - what page/section is it in? | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @grannyring , thanks, I’ve seen that link from Innuos and am clear what to get; I’m more wondering what to try for my other stuff (one at a time though). I can guess it may be hard to get Gryphon to provide a recommendation of a aftermarket fuse f... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Thanks all for the guidance on the Muon filter and also on fuses. My dealer said they’d get a quote on the Purple fuse for my Zenith, but I haven’t heard back. I’ll give them a nudge. I’d like to try adding Purple fuses to my Diablo amp, Tamba... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @rshad0000 , thanks for sharing! Good luck with your decision. I know what you mean about the added texture. In my system at least, the MU1 has more impact and edge to the sound vs the N20, while at the same time being smooth. As an example this g... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @rshad0000 , great to hear you are testing the MU1 with the Dave and also testing the N20! Very interesting. Any insights yet on the differences you found between the MU1 and the N20? While I’ve heard some say Dave can be a tad analytical with so... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk , very interesting suggestion; I will look for that album, thanks. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @thyname , no worries. Will continue sharing; in return I receive great advice or inspiration, as with the recent case of the Muon Pro kit. I will wait a few weeks to go down that road as I am still getting to know the MU1 with the Tambaqui. This ... |
