| Fun read... I don't respect authors that write articles that ridicule certain hobbyist groups, but you won't find me publishing articles about such authors. I don't know why audiophiles draw so much attention from dicks like that. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Riverside 20 - Volume 1, The Shorts. | |
| Streamer for LTA Aero You won't be disappointed with the Zen. I'm very happy with mine. | |
| Sutherland Dos Locos Dual Mono Phonostages I haven't heard the Dos Locos, but I suspect it will be excellent. I went from a KC Vibe to a TZ Vibe and it was a noticeable improvement. I'm using a Hana ML moving coil cartridge. | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid Good luck with your demos. Hopefully, there are some good options that you can audition in a proper setup. When I got into this crazy hobby, there was a dealer with lots of options in every budget category. I didn't have a lot of money at the tim... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Kacey Musgraves - Lonely Millionaire from the album Deeper Well. | |
| For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock? Well, I answered my own question. I turned the DSD Direct on and felt that the sound was better. It sounds really good. To confirm, I flipped it on and off with my remote. I have the benefit of being old, so I couldn't remember what setting it... | |
| Lack of Surround Sound Signal from TV to Processor... Why? Have you tried a different optical cable? Probably not it, but worth checking. I'm wondering if the newer Dolby Digital format is not recognized by your processor.... maybe someone smarter than me will chime in. | |
| For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock? @kereru @pindac Stupid question. If I'm streaming (innuos Zen MK3 by USB to Gustard U18, Gustard U18 by i2S to R26), should I have DSD Direct turned on (on the R26) so that the internal interpolating FIR filter is off? Would I turn it off if ... | |
| Phono preamp for a Denon 103R cartridge. I have a Sutherland TZ Vibe that I use with a Hana ML moving coil cartridge and it's excellent. I haven't heard it with your cartridge. Ron Sutherland is a very nice man if you wanted to visit with him. He has a good return policy if you wanted ... | |
| Streamer for LTA Aero @bluethinker Same here. I've ripped a number of cds that I can't stream, but I see no need to rip all of my cds. Streaming is super easy and sounds great. I'm a big fan of the German band RPWL. I have around 11 of their cds and only 5 of these... | |
| Component matching expertise - how do you do it? I'm not the expert that you mention, but I can tell you how I arrived at my current system. As @ghdprentice mentioned, I sought out components that I felt would satisfy my personal tastes. I first selected my speakers based on prior experience wi... | |
| Streamer for LTA Aero @phaelon I suspect that some of the boxes that you see people adding are more of an attempt to boost the performance of their dac rather than a shortcoming of the Innuos. I have a Gustard U18 ddc, but I bought it so I could use the i2s input on m... | |
| Streamer for LTA Aero I'm using the Innuos with a Gustard R26 r2r dac which is paired with a LHY ock-2 clock. I suspect your Aero is it's equal, or more likely better. I had mostly been using my Denon DCD-1700NE sacd player and preferred it to streaming with a Node or... | |
| Streamer for LTA Aero @phaelon it's been a while, but I have Jennifer Warnes - The Hunter ripped and it's available on Qobuz. I think both were equally excellent. I haven't ripped much that is available to stream. |
