| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @svenjosh , thanks I’ll check out that article on Positive Feedback. TBH every explanation I’ve seen to date detailing the reasons for the 1.5m minimum has been specific to the USB protocol and how it synchronizes between source and destination. A... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @svenjosh ”So far the Sablon is holding on its own. I will make a decision once I get the Jorma to try.” Probably too early but is the Sablon AES really keeping up with the Omega and Odin 2? If so that’s incredible…. BTW I did actually get two N... | |
| Occasional Sound Imbalance Issue I think I may have confirmed that my issue was entirely due to minute changes in vibration dampening of my system whenever I physically maneuvered any of my gear. Long ago I installed four of Herbie’s “Giant Fat Dots” under my heavy wooden shelf.... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk , what you say makes a lot of sense, as the rack impacts every component at once. In fact, by far the biggest boost was when I installed four of Herbie’s “Giant Fat Dots” under my current heavy wooden shelf. There was a sudden boost that w... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Just bought a LinkUp Ethernet cable because at that price, why not…. Will see how it compares with my Audioquest Diamond cable which costs more than 10X more… I spent a couple of hours this Saturday testing the effect of Herbie’s Audio Lab Tende... | |
| 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... |
