| Took the lithium ion battery plunge How well one of these battery packs performs compared to AC depends on quality of AC supplying system. No conditioning, battery wins, AC somewhat optimized,battery may or may not win, fully optimized AC, AC wins IME. I've looked inside some of th... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev How much streamers change in future is hard to say, streamer innovations do come fast. I demoed a variety of power conditioners year ago using Cable Co. lending library. All top of line variety, Shunyata, PS Audio, Audience Adept, none g... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers I doubt very much that hardware compatibility issue, like to see what ISP they're using. With 500mb speed, actually typically around 550 at router absolutely no issues. At some point I may decide to experiment with 1gb, see what that brings to tab... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev I agree, seems your Gryphon supplies desired level of resolution, transparency with Innuos so Gryphon not the problem. And you hear desired musicality with Aurender, again Gryphon is capable of delivering here for you. This leaves streamer, ... | |
| RIP Tom Verlaine Saw Television at small club in their heyday, my audiophile buddy in charge of sound. Simply one of the best rock shows I've attended, and I've attended many! Television goes on playlist this weekend. Yes, it seems we're losing so many great a... | |
| Took the lithium ion battery plunge I ran several pieces of streaming network devices and dac on lithium ion battery pack (Rockpals) for a time. Initially, and over a bit longer term thought I preferred the battery to conditioned AC, but over long term felt like I was missing someth... | |
| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? Based on equipment for both sources, I'd expect comparison to be much closer. I can't see anything that stands out as great liability in either. I do know the XP27 is standout phono, was going to be my choice for phono until nice deal on Thoress p... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @jerryg123 I'd like to see direct face off with this type FMC vs OpticalModule. OM does have both optimized power supply and clocking. I'd also like to see a data base of optical devices these transceivers work or not work with. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I agree dac maybe limiting factor here. If dac not fully optimized usb and roughly equal to AES input, I'd expect streamer with optimized AES to have superior SQ. If this were my setup and comparison, my next comparison would be to another streame... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I've found 'closed in' sq typical early in burn in period. Fuses do make a difference, forgot about this in case of streamer, will try the purple. When speaking of deriving pleasure from the sound of my system vs music, its not a battle, rather I... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I dealt with Cable Company for years, never a problem returning a cable, this with literally hundreds of cable over years. I understand one may have issues with any single rep at the Cable Co, I had issues with one individual there, refused to dea... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @cowhorn You pretty much got it. I used to experiment with various rfi shielding materials placed around the router, but with wifi off makes much less sense, not sure it was doing anything other than retaining rfi in router in any case. Also nice ... | |
| The Forgotten @paullb Where did you get this info? Core Power has been in business for some years. Mark Shifter was one of the original principals, also served in this capacity with Perpetual Technologies.This when BPT still in business. Perp Tech went out of... | |
| What I wish I knew before starting my audiophile journey @tonywinga Estimation of audio journey and tiers of audio very well stated! Audio just like nearly all human endeavors in that complexity nearly always in upwards trajectory. Questions never end, answers are discovered. The one thing I'd add to th... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I've never been able to step back from more resolution, transparency once I've heard it, my goal is progress, lower resolution, transparency is regression in my book. Certainly there have been times when the extra transparency and resolution has ... |
