@bigtwin  Thank you so much for sharing your system with us. This is exactly the Audiogon I’ve been missing; people sharing and interacting with one another in such a cordial and friendly manner. Rock on my friend!  
My Final System Build in Words & Pictures
@mahgister  Good to see you! I’m not around here that much lately, but nice to read your positive comments on this positively inspiring post. Regards   
DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend
@willgolf  "You only live once." Couldn't agree with you more. Hope that your Aries Cerat system overwhelms you with totally amazing sound. Cheers  
Ethernet switches the good and bad
It is sad that some only show up to throw mud. A different tack may be to give some of these items a try. If your system is fairly resolving, you'll be able to hear the improvement, and then you'll also be able to comment on what they do and if it... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@nyev Some use plumbers Teflon tape and find it works well. It also has an infinitely lower cost. Regards   BTW - great wrap up!  
Advice on how to liquidate system
@jl1ny  Glad to read your optimistic report. You can and will push through this and I'm hoping that you'll come out much stronger on the other side. Do take all the caring advice provided in this thread into consideration and do what you think is...

@nyev  @lalitk    Interesting posts, thanks for sharing.  
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
Yes, that LinkUp 8 cable is quite the value. I've been using it since 2021 and it is awesome, better than Supra Cat8 in my system. Another thing to consider, is after you've played the cable for that hundred hours, reverse the direction to listen ... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
I believe that NA have mentioned, and maybe in this thread, that they will be releasing a switch in June. Combine that with the Muon Pro and streaming cable  and that should be really good. I say that based on the fact that @grannyring has the now... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@grannyring  Thanks for the insight and observations. The Muon Pro is definitely on my radar.  
Curious to know your streaming and dac set up and the best recommended streamer under $15k
@metaldetektor  Like Lalitk, I look forward to your feedback on the Playback MPS-X.  
聖HIJIRI Users thread
@lalitk  My friend, I sure appreciate the repost of your comments on Hijiri. It seems the 聖Hijiri SM2R-L power cord is the sweet spot and the pricing makes it more doable when I need 4 power cords. I'm taking notes and thinking it through. Again,... 
聖HIJIRI Users thread
@willgolf  I really appreciate your update. I can't wait to read about the AC gear you have coming on WBF around Christmas! I also really appreciate your excellent comments on Hijiri. It seems nearly all who try them buy them. I've spoken to Col... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@nyev  Totally agreed. System synergy is everything. Period. If you need an inexpensive Network cable, or just want to compare to other more expensive cables, please see below. I've used it for a few years and have tried it against other value b... 
聖HIJIRI Users thread
@willgolf  Hoping you'll start an Aries Cerat thread and talk about your system. I can't even imagine how good it must sound. Also, it'd be great if you'd comment on what Hijiri power cords and interconnects do for you system compared to what yo...
