Suggestions on upgrading from a Kimber Kable D-60 digital coax.
Not sure if Purist does.  I may check out the Cable Company and their cable library to compare and contract.  Thanks jond on the CT digital Graphene Extreme.  I'd hadn't heard of them, but I've been reading up on the product and it sounds promisin... 
Issue with Graininess from my Aurender N100H
hgeifman, thank you so much for all the advice on this issue.  I am working on your list.  Aurender support asked me to connect to one of the USB data ports underneath the ethernet connection.  I did that and the graininess has stopped.  That said... 
Issue with Graininess from my Aurender N100H
Interesting, stereo5.  You and I may be the only ones with Aurender issues as most users seem satisfied with the sound.  Jon, I play vinyl on my system and it sounds perfect.  It is definitely isolated to the digital signal and it didn't do it whe... 
Is it worth adding a Schiit Audio Eitr?
Thank you for the feedback.  I like the idea of having fewer than more devices in my signal path, but I may just try the Eitr because I don't feel like shipping out my Gumby again and if I'm not blown away I can send it back.  Easy right.   
Burn In on Aurender N100H
Thanks everyone for the great feedback.  I've been burning in the N100H over the past week and have to say that it is sounding better and better.  I just got the Curious Cable in the mail yesterday and replaced the Supra.  A major improvement with... 
Burn In on Aurender N100H
Thanks for the input.  I reached out to Aurender and they recommend burning in the unit for 100-150 hours.  I'm working on that now.  Thanks, Dave for the feedback on USB cables.  I just heard about the Curious cable from a friend.  I checked out ... 
Which server / renderer to buy?
Thank you all for the awesome advice.  I have a lot to chew on here and, I guess I could waste some money or not.  Maybe I'll wimp out and just upgrade my turntable...;-).  Again, thanks, PeteG. 
Which server / renderer to buy?
Thank you all.  I realize from all these helpful posts that the way to go in digital is very far from consistent among audiophiles and the audiophile press.  The articles I've been reading make my head spin - too many options, I suppose.  I should... 
Advice on speaker pairing with my Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum using KT120 output tubes.
Thanks again everyone.  Now I have to make time to listen to a lot of great gear and come away with what suits me best. 
Advice on speaker pairing with my Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum using KT120 output tubes.
Thanks Stewart.  I have read good things about the Ryans.  Only issue is finding a dealer nearby. 
Advice on speaker pairing with my Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum using KT120 output tubes.
Thank you for the recommendations.  Some of them I know and some I don't.  Now I need to find a few local dealers for some critical listening.   
Best cartridge match for my Phono Preamp
Thanks everybody. I agree on the versatility of the Phonomena - it provides lots of choices. I do like the Ortofon, but wanted to see if anyone on the forum had an epiphany with a particluar cartridge using the Phonomena. My musical taste is varie... 
I'm looking for good analog interconnects
Al, thank you for the homework on the capacitance. Much appreciated. I am using a 0.5 meter cable so the capacitance issue should not be a factor. Thanks Barto and SG for the recommendations. I will take a look at those options as well. Again than... 
I'm looking for good analog interconnects
Thanks for the feedback everyone. Much appreciated. Al, I have an Ortofon Magic 3 (made for Music Hall) cartridge. I've set the gain on the Phonomena II+to 44dB for the modest gain of the Magic 3 at 3 mV. I'm not sure what I ought to be looking fo... 
Favorite phono stage in the $500-$800 range?
Thank you all for the great responses. Now I'm really confused. I originally asked this question because I was getting an audible hum in the Rogue phono stage. On further investigation, it appears to be in the Music Hall. I am working on clearing ...
