| Roon vs Lumin App sometimes tweaks are minor and hard to detect. it can be so hard to compare changes sometimes and most always we are going to be expecting a difference which can skew an actual difference. i’m no naysayer on tweaks, but sometimes it can be futile. | |
| How to turn on Unity Gain on Pre Amp OK I feel like a bit of an idiot.. just goes to show in the hi-fi world psychosomatic pre-expectations can be real.. I put the preamp back and it sounds every bit as good maybe even better than without.. crazy, I know i was convinced that it was ... | |
| Roon vs Lumin App I turn the volume leveling off in Roon and been doing some testing finding the same results sure is easier to test without having to play with the volume each time I change sources | |
| Roon vs Lumin App couldn’t agree more it should be noted I did have a volume leveling turned on in Roon which would most certainly be the reason why there is a difference in volume but I don’t think that affects my listening test as I did match the output.. I got t... | |
| How to turn on Unity Gain on Pre Amp I am only streaming so the preamp really only serves as a sound conditioner and volume control. I am a Mac fan and have auditioned other brands and settled on Mac. I do believe in my case that less is more vs some other preamp option. I wouldn't b... | |
| Enjoying LEEDH Processing…. Timely discussion, I just noticed the Leedh option in the app recently (don't use the Lumin app much as I am a Roon user) so got curious and just today removed my beloved McIntosh C2500 tube preamp from the chain and much to my surprise a noticeab... | |
| How to turn on Unity Gain on Pre Amp I misspoke on the subwoofer being one of the reasons why I need the preamp. It has been a while since I looked behind my gear and the REL subs are taped into the amp, only the grounds are on the preamp. So easily hooked up the Lumin direct taking ... | |

| Rel sub cable options The thread was in need of a revival attempt. | |
| Ethernet Cable I am a proven proponent of cable and power upgrades across-the-board as they certainly make a difference. The better the quality of the system the more it’s impacted, of course. I ran a 20 foot section of supra 8 directly from the router to my str... | |
| Upgrade Ethernet when and how? Thanks for all the feedback, at this point I am leaning toward a decent 25' cable like the Supra cat 8 and a better quality cable the last few feet. Simplest approach I think. I should have mentioned that I have no sound quality issues running Wi... | |
| Upgrade Ethernet when and how? Thanks for the response. Yes I know ethernet is fine, I'm just trying to determine the best way forward SQ and cost wise to cover the 30' from router to streamer. Either 30' straight run which can be cost prohibitive, or last 3 feet with nice cabl... | |
| Rel sub cable options You may want to check your math, my calculations show 5.2% ever more better :) | |
| KEF LS50 Need Help Thank you. Yes I am enjoying the music. I have not heard of that book. Is it up to date, i.e., streaming music era? |
