| 2nd systems- who’s got one? I used to have second systems in bedroom, used purely as experimental for determining direction of main system. This is where i first discovered SET amplification, single source and/or high efficiency speakers. I have enough equipment in rese... | |
| Help I've got a buzzing noise in my speakers The fact it continued at showroom (I assume you used other speakers) points directly at Magnum Dynalab, you've answered your own question. | |
| Time clock sync devices Yep, clocks are critical to digital. And as big_greg referenced one can overdue it, the internal clocks may be sufficient, adding external or more clocks and/ or mismatched clocks may disturb sound quality. Somewhat recently I experienced what I... | |
| Sometimes you have to change you I've experienced this over many years, sometimes it was the system, sometimes my mind set, other times the music and/or recording quality of the music chosen. In recent years, system based dissatisfaction has been solely based on burn in of va... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Sorry, just re-read my latest posts. I meant to say OpticalRendu not UltraRendu, totally different beasts! | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @phastm3 In re-reading your post, mentioned Antipodes, while I've never heard, I do like technologies they incorporate into their servers and streamers. One of the few who optimize for a variety of streaming configurations. Antipodes understands t... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I previously had any number of ethernet based network configurations. Some time ago started experimenting with optical conversion schemes, definite upgrade. Just recently went to Sonore UltraRendu streamer, absolutely fabulous resolving capability... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @benzman For usb cables with power leg, simply tape over power leg within connector with tape. Having said that I've not really heard any perceptible difference doing that versus leaving it connected. I use AQ Diamond usb, but then this not lates... | |
| The best way to start adding A=analog to my system I too prefer the direct drive route, tried a number of belt drives over the years, always left me wanting for slam, drive. If you can handle diy route, one can put together very nice setup starting with Technics SP10 MkII, and really for pennies o... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @benzman These kinds of questions are hard to answer to my way of thinking. With each of us likely having totally unique systems, generalizations hard to ascertain. Having said that, based on my experience and others, I'd say the number one or mos... | |
| The best way to start adding A=analog to my system @clearthinker I wasn't making blanket statement with digital vs. analog, just directed solely at my present setups. What you suggest I do has been often contemplated by me. Which brings to mind another factor is starting vinyl setup from scratch. ... | |
| Hate fireplace in home theater room I too hated my fireplace in listening room, tore it out some years ago. The things we do for audio! | |
| The best way to start adding A=analog to my system I'd rather have one great setup between analog and digital rather than two mediocre setups. So, if I were you, I'd upgrade the digital or wait and save for top flight vinyl setup. Both mijostyn and ghdprentice make good points. My vinyl setup ... | |
| Optical vs Ultra Rendu. @high-amp Don't put too much on your platter for the time being. Get the bundle and I5 and you'll be good to go, actually doing really well! You can upgrade router/switch later on, the bundle will supply vast majority of high quality streaming for... | |
| Best USB port on a late 2012 Mac mini I'll repeat no usb out of motherboards is optimal, usb renderers such as Innuos Phoenix or Uptone usbRegen will help, but doing thunderbolt to ethernet conversion and adding FMC (otherwise known as optical conversion) and separate streamer (somet... |
