| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... @audiom3 Prior to inserting Opticalrendu I had diasy chained SOTM SMS200Neo to Uptone usb regen, I had gone back and forth any number of times leaving Uptone out or replacing, always preferred the daisy chain. I then inserted Opticalrendu forgetti... | |
| Choice between two different integrated tube amps (SET & PP) Plenty of Chinese products use top notch parts from all over the world, not limited to using only Chinese parts. And yes, nearly every audio component made in more recent past and today is hybrid Chinese product. And I don't mean to say the Wi... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sirnui You're correct in how router is acting. I still have my audiophile switch and want to experiment with replacing router with switch. I presume the switch will be quieter and know it has superior clock, in fact I did hear a bit more detail w... | |
| Choice between two different integrated tube amps (SET & PP) @blkwrxwgn They do have similar exterior, LM is point to point wiring vs. circuit boards in Willsenton, here's pic, https://www.phantom-audio.com/product/line-magnetic-integrated-lm-805ia/ I prefer point to point, especially with high heat gen... | |
| Would you pay more than 25% of MSRP for a used cartridge? I find it difficult to purchase used consumables, used tubes same issue for me. Wouldn't it be great if they could build in some kind of hour counter on these consumables. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sirnui It seems I have pretty unique setup in that I have second ethernet port on my server, therefore: modem>router (powered by over spec. lps) via short run of Audioquest Vodka ethernet>server, via another short run of AQ Vodka>FMC (po... | |
| This 60 Hz hum is driving me crazy Yep, dc offset can be problem, check your house grounding system. | |
| Choice between two different integrated tube amps (SET & PP) The Willsenton runs 48wpc, so power output may not be issue. I owned PL Dialogue Four, self modded with Takman and MIflex caps, until very recently. I also own 845 and 300B SET amps. High power SET creates lots of heat, heat is enemy of audio comp... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... As debjit_g mentioned above, conversion of optical back to ethernet is somewhat detrimental, place for noise to re-enter network. And the boards in generic FMC are not optimum. Understanding this is what motivated me to upgrade to Opticalrendu. ... | |
| Contenders are here I ran various model Alons for years, loved the open baffle design. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sirnui I find your experiments extremely interesting. In my limited experience and knowledge of clocks I find a number of issues. I recently tried an audiophile network switch with TXCO clock (marketed as OXCO clock) inferior to router straight o... | |
| K-horn won't fit, any other corner speakers recommended for a big room? I like what whart said in regard to windows. I have Khorns, with window on side wall about 12" in front of speaker. I place removable treatments over window during listening sessions. | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... Yes, future experiments will absolutely compare optimized optical and usb comparisons, also, one computer vs two computer setups. I'd also like to try return to Audirvana, compare with Roon and Roon/ HQPlayer. When I first changed over from previo... | |
| The Cable Co I used them years ago quite extensively, tried many kinds of cables in widely varied price ranges, wanted to understand the contribution of cables in total system. Funny, but since that experience I no longer feel undecided about cables. I've ... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... @debjit_g Forgot to mention, I have second ethernet port on my server, so I can do FMC without having to go through an added switch in network. |
