| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! When I bought my Innuos Zen Mk3, I bought a new tablet. I like the Sense app and the new tablet is a lot better than my old tablet. I mostly stream now. I will hang on to my Denon DCD-1700NE sacd player, but it doesn't get used much. Cds that a... | |
| Gustard C16 clock @boulder_bob Thank you for the reply. I think you have the connections spelled out correctly. I guess I don't really understand how the clock works. It sends a signal to the ddc, but no signal goes into the clock. Supposedly, Gustard... | |
| Gustard C16 clock @tksteingraber The U18 has an input and output, but I only see outputs on the C16 unless I'm missing something. | |
| Cartridge upgrade I have the same TT. I wasn't super impressed with the Virtuoso wood cartridge despite the great reviews. I bought a Hana ML moving coil cartridge and it was a big improvement. I'm using it with a Sutherland TZ Vibe phono preamp. | |
| Coolest song I ever heard! That does sound really cool. Unfortunately, I'm out of town and listening on my phone. I'll check it out when I get home. There are lots of cool songs. One that I like is Friend or Foe by Riverside. https://youtu.be/-BCXXbuQHxs?si=IVY8bEHA-... | |
| Recommendations for a phono stage: Gold Note turntable w/ MC cartridge to ARi50. I started with an inexpensive Parasound phono stage and a MM cartridge. Upgraded to a Sutherland KC Vibe which was notably better. Upgraded to a MC cartridge and a Sutherland TZ Vibe. Another notable improvement. The TZ Vibe is out of your budget... | |
| Looking at these specific preamps give me your opinions @gregjacob I'm using the same Telefunken ECC801S. They are the most detailed and best sounding in my system. A friend thought they were too bright in his system. The Siemens ECC801S are very good, but a hair less detailed. A fair bit less expensi... | |
| Looking at these specific preamps give me your opinions @cbrez I bought my MicroZOTL preamp lightly used and a little over a year old. The previous owner said it came with Trigon 12AT7 tubes. I tried them and didn't like them. He had purchased some Telefunken tubes {not cheap} and I bought th... | |
| Looking at these specific preamps give me your opinions I have a LTA MicroZOTL preamp. I had two different conrad-johnson preamps before that. I'm using it with single ended interconnects to a Coda solid state amplifier. I'm very happy with it. I thought I'd miss the warmth of the cj preamps, but I... | |
| First impressions: Silversmith Fidelium interconnects @soix thank you. What the review says is believable to me because I felt the same when I auditioned the Fidelium speaker cables. I had been using decent cables by Synergistic Research so I hadn't expected to hear much difference. | |
| First impressions: Silversmith Fidelium interconnects @audiojan what do the interconnects look like? Does he use the same material used for the Fidelium speaker cables? | |
| First impressions: Silversmith Fidelium interconnects Interesting. I use Fidelium speaker cables and I'm very happy with them. Not sure I'm up to spending $2k on interconnects. I've spent too much already. | |
| Start with Upgrade to DAC? @mike4597 I have an Innuous Zen MK3 and I'm very happy with it. I didn't buy it for the cd ripper, but I actually use it a fair bit. Pop a cd in and it rips a copy to my library in under 5 minutes. Real easy. I use the Sense app by Innuous wit... | |
| Next upgrade options I touched on this earlier, but I have a pair of the same subwoofers. My son has an excellent ear for music and his hearing is better than mine. He talked me into increasing the gain on the subs tonight and it definitely helped add some fullness to... | |
| Gustard U18 with Gustard R26 dac? @soix I do think there was a slight improvement with the DH Labs cable, but I was swapping out interconnects at the same time and haven't done any seriously listening with the two different HDMI cables. I need to do that some time. This is unr... |
