@ghasley I did not name my current dealer as he requested me not to. He is aware of this thread. The Grimm dealer network is small and he is shipping from another region, he does not want to seem like stepping on someone’s shoes. If anyone is int...

I received a lot of help from our members in this process. I can try giving back with information regarding Grimm. I am obtaining the Sablon and Nordost AES cables. I have a Shunyata omega that I borrowed from a friend. So I will post my impressio...

@ghasley As I said earlier I don’t want to disparage anyone. I don’t think he deserves a very negative review because of this one interaction. He otherwise has good reviews. Moreover he is not here to share his reasons on why he did it. I achieved...

@soix Thank you! I will receive mine tomorrow or on Wednesday. I don’t know if I should rub it in, he knew he lost the sale when I informed him that I will not be using his services for home demo or purchase. Hopefully he just had a bad day and wi...

@ghasley Again thank you sharing in detail. I have Ethernet wiring from my main to the audio room as it doubles as my home theater room. So I am connecting my router directly to Grimm. I may try the USB dongle for wireless.

@nyev I noticed that when I listen to classical, especially Piano or Violin (any E concerto), the sound is a bit bright in the 4fs mode. I change to original (the NOS mode is called original in Grimm) and the slight tinge of brightness is gone. Th...

@ghasley I did have a chance to evaluate the Grimm MU1 in a more relaxing place (my home). Here is my summary if anyone is interested. I am not good at audiophile descriptions so please bear with me. First and foremost, the best output is AES, I u...
