Made the Move and Not looking back!
@carlsbad2 Is there a reason to wait till your Roon subscription expires? Go ahead and start using the free Innuos Sense app now. I had a one-year with Roon and downloaded Sense the minute it came out in summer of 2021. I never used Roon again des... 
Made the Move and Not looking back!
@carlsbad2, pretty sure he meant Roon charges for you while they take days or more to help with service outages.  He’s lamenting there is no credit for the time the service is not providing what he is paying for.  Pretty reasonable position, it se...

Before finding GSS speaker repair, Naim and a local speaker repair shop said the woofer was not repairable and wished us luck in finding a used woofer online to replace his. GSS didn’t break a sweat and the woofer is going on 3 years of almost da...

GSS Speaker repair services based in Hollywood.  They can fix anything.  Got their name from Hawthorne Stereo in Seattle who has been in business for literally something like 60 years. Needed my brothers Naim speaker woofer repaired.  Hawthorne s... 
Your experience of moving to two subs
I completely agree that by seamlessly integrating a sub or two (or four?) the listening experience can be taken to a level that is far more difficult to achieve relying on stereo “mains” alone. With subs added, it won’t be 2-channel anymore, by de... 
Your experience of moving to two subs
@dean_palmer said “That is an opinion that is completely baseless, proven wrong consistently, and only held by insane "2-channel only" types and possibly deaf sheep herders.” I say…. Thank you making me howl. That is so freakin’ funny!  
Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like"
@gladmo Having finished your review, I’m pretty sure I will order a SDFB. Like you I am all-digital. I stream Qobuz via an Innuos Zenth Mk 3 streamer/server which has had the amazing purple fuse in it for a log time. However, unlike you, the fuse... 
Swiss Digital Fuse Box - "What headroom sounds like"
@gladmo I am so impressed with how you’ve written the review that I had to post my enthusiasm immediately. Now back to the review.  
Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet?
Why no mention of Audience’s F5 cord? It’s above F3 and below Studio One and is $650. I’ve tried no Audience cords yet. However, I recently sought cord advice from a dealer who carries all of the gear I use, most of which I purchased from him. A... 
Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)?
1. Energy 22 Reference Connoisseur loudspeakers that retailed for $2400 USD in 1989 in Teakwood veneer, that I scored for $500 in factory cartons. Still have but replaced them only 14 months ago. Amazing 2-way floorstanding monitors. 2. Full-blow... 
New Synergistic Master Fuse
Sorry to report to fellow Lyngdorf 3400 owners, a fuse is a no-go. Online images of the 3400 with cover off shows what looks like a normal fuse but were too grainy to zoom with clarity. I took the lid off my Lyngdorf 3400 and discovered the fuse ... 
Any Experience with Audio Envy SP12?
@rlb61 Are you still happy with your AE SP12 speaker wire? Do you have a feel for how my hours it takes to hear their best?  Do you run your system 24/7 when breaking in new stuff?  If you do, it’s easier track the hours.   
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@nyev the OP,  Did you try the SR purple fuse in your Innuos Zenith Mk 3?  I say try, of course because there is zero risk.  It can be returned. I’m very interested to hear your thoughts on it, if you try one. At the risk of overstating the mat... 
New Synergistic Master Fuse
@lordmelton that is an interesting proposal.  I appreciate it. There is yet another wrinkle, however.  A dealer tells me Isol-8 has a conditioner that he prefers to the Puritan for sound quality.  I’ll probably try it in the next 30-60 days.  If ... 
New Synergistic Master Fuse
BTW, the April issue of Enjoy The Music has Rick Becker’s world-premier review of the SR Master Fuse.  If I’m recalling correctly, he acknowledges the open question of what to do if one is torn between dac and streamer (for those that stream).
