| Tube Preamp with "pass through" for HT option? The Octave Audio tube pre amps have HT pass through. Love my HP700 with me home theater system. | |
| New Acquired Sopra 2 I was in a similar situation several years ago with my Sopra 3s, needing an integrated that could work well with my HT system as well. I went with a Octave Audio integrated with a super black box. Really good synergy with focal in my opinion. ... | |
| Solid State Power Amps I know you are looking for Solid State amps, but something else you may want to consider are Octave Audio monoblocs with the super black boxes(a must IMO). I owned the Sopra 3 and now the Utopia EVOs and originally used the Gryphon Diablo 300 on... | |
| Aardvark Ethernet noise isolator Hi Ozzy, Any initial thoughts? Thanks | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Same results here as well. | |
| USB Reclocker I agree with ghdprentice. I also have the chord DAVE with the Farad Power supplies, but instead of going the m-scaler route, which I had tried once before, I sold my Aurender N20 and bought a Grimm MU-1. The MU-1 does a great job upscaling and... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Strange. I don’t have that issue with my MU1. I certainly do with other components in my set up but not the Grimm. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? quattr0, If your dealer is in Dallas, then, yes, that would be me. I took the MU1 out of my system and put the N20 back in. Love the N20 but the Grimm just works so much better with my system so I had to put it back in and buy it. The dealer was ... | |
| Is a home theater even worth it or doable? I’m a big movie buff along with being an audiophile(Two channel music first with HT being a strong second). One thing that I think is often missed is that a true HT system isn’t always about the deep rumbling bass or the bullets wizzing to the si... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Nyev, I agree, I love how Roon pulls up "like" songs and plays them! Before my current gear I had a Diablo 300 as well...I loved that integrated amp and I can see how the Grimm work work very well with it. Enjoy! | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Nyev, The main differences I hear... The Aurender N20 is very transparent, dynamic and has quiet backgrounds. The Grimm is very smooth, yet still dynamic, and adds some really nice texture to the music. I have to say that I prefer the Aurend... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? One note… There is a lot of talk in this thread and others about the Grimm MU1 working well with the Tambaqui DAC, which I have no doubt that it does. I’ve been trying out an MU1 in my system, vs the Aurender N20, over the past week with a Chord... | |
| Amp Around 60 lbs Which Sounds Like A Gryphon 300 I agree with bobheinatz. I owned a Diablo 300 and have listened to the Boulder 866 a few times at the dealer. Great integrated! | |
| HT Sound quality - tube versus solid state amplification Maxwave, I agree that dynamics are very important in a home theater set up but musicality can take movies to a whole new level. A really great audiophile system makes the musical scores in movies so much better that it pulls you in to the movie... | |
| HT Sound quality - tube versus solid state amplification I have the same type of set up that Carlsbad has and couldn’t agree more with him. I will add that the type of tube you have will determine how well the set up blends in with the solid state 5 channel amp that I have powering the center and surro... |
