| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Better get that autocorrect for "Tambaqui" fixed as I see you writing a lot about it in the future! | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @singingg Fantastic summation of your 4-year journey. I've got to read this again for sure. You mentioned the Gigafoil. I'm not understanding if you tried it and if you did, is it still in the system or did you find that it was better without i... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @singingg Well then, I guess we both stumbled onto the directionality thing by sheer chance. I'm glad I read this thread. System update. It is sounding sublime - and now the audiophile terms. The noise floor has dropped considerably and so you ... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @singingg So after reading your comments on Network cable and the ATT Router/ONT cable, I decided to use a spare Supra Cat8+ between the ONT and Router. Once the 8+ was in, the sound was always, but only, a little better than the stock ATT-suppl... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Hey @grannyring I'd like to try that so I'm wondering, how do you bypass or turn off LEDs? I'm not aware of how to do so. I guess this has to do with you being a DIY guy and may be above my skill level. | |
| Lumin X1 and Upgraded DC umbilical cord for power supply. I was at one point interested in the X1 so I know that "gleeds" here and on WBF is the guy that is the Westminster Labs dealer. He has a write up over on WBF, but I assume you are already familiar with it. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I've read that LEDs are noisy and think it was over on AS. Everything matters for sure. @fastfreight I started using the LinkUp 8 Network cable in 2021. I put it in my system one 1M section at a time. Each time I did, the system just got bet... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @arafiq For clarity, this is the LinkUp 8 I use, it is Yellow cable rather than black. I am unsure if they are exactly the same but they appear so based on the description. - Amazon.com: LINKUP - [GHMT & DSX8000 Certified Cat8 Ethernet Pat... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @arafiq I can answer that for you. LinkUp 8 handily beats the Supra Cat8+ in my system. My entire chain is LinkUp 8 with the exception of a Supra 8+ from ONT to Router. I may go to LinkUp 8 on that connection as well in the future. The great thi... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @rockrider I cannot answer your question from experience, but I've read many accounts of those who are streaming files from hard drives have experienced better sound quality with improved Network cables and switches. I don't understand why, but ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk @rockrider "What switch did you try? The N20 LAN is 2x isolated so a subpar switch probably do more harm than good :-)" The other question is "did you let the SoTM switch burn in?" It may need several+ weeks to get there, maybe even mo... | |
| Zavfino You'd think, if for nothing more than getting the best sound for the customer, Zavfino would include a very succinct and clear user flyer with each order. Would save them returns in the long run I'd imagine and most likely garner more positive rev... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @arafiq @lalitk X2 | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @singingg I know another person who bought a 50' run of the Linkup 8 and so far they really like it. All of my Linkup 8 are 3'. I have not moved forward with buying an LPS as of yet. Really need to do a bit more research. You mentioned that yo... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @singingg You and I have the same internet provider and the same ONT and Router. On 1/28/23 I substituted the stock ATT Network cable between the ONT and Router with Supra Cat8+ and initially it sounded louder and maybe slightly better. But it t... |
