| Esoteric n05 streamer and dac I owned a Sonica and went to a Lumin T2....the improvement was remarkable....better dynamics, tone, sound staging, you name it. The Sonica is terrific for the money but has an uninvolving sound IMO and doesn't do Roon or Qobuz plus no more mfg.sup... | |
| High Output Preamp for First Watt SIT-3? Murph, I was not aware the SIT 3 would ever be a candidate to power the Maggie’s. Let us know your eventual solution. I would recommend CharlesDad's advice, it's spot on. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Listening99, that's one of the most comprehensive, well thought out posts I've ever seen on this site. I'm very happy with my long term reference von Schweikerts but am intrigued by the Tekton brand and wish I could find a way to hear the DI, Enco... | |
| CD Treatment when I was tweak crazy, I would de-mag each CD before insertion into the player. I also "green" inked the CD edges until I figured out I did not hear any difference. And I would also copy CD's onto blank "black" CDs. I tried a lot of things withou... | |
| MUTE OFF on a LUMIN T2 Sorry, but I don't really understand your question. I own a T2 and use Roon but have used the Lumin app extensively. Peter Lie, at the Roon forum-Lumin will answer your question. | |
| Music Server vs PC confused Mlapenta, please let us know your experience once you've gotten the Lumin cranking in your system. BTW, I am a Lumin fan. | |
| Proac D40s vs Von Schweikert VR-44 Aktive Krenova, I own VS db99se. They are 15 years old in May and still sound terrific to my ears. The bass module "active" amplifiers have held up just fine. I leave them in standby mode where they consume about 5 watts each. They are not class D amps. ... | |
| Ehernet cable question in streaming systems suggest you check out Monoprice and CAT 8 or CAT 7 ethernet cables. They have good construction and most importantly shielding. You can "re-cable" all your connections for short money. If you don't like what you hear you aren't out much at all. | |
| Tweaks - An Honest Discussion Tvad......+1. I'll bet MC never found a tweak he wouldn't try. I used to be tweak crazy till I realized I was obsessing and now just have some Herbie's under components and speakers. It's hard not to get caught up in the tweaking syndrome when the... | |
| Gaining listening experience without spending money Otter, you don't have to be "rich" to enjoy this hobby. Each spends according to their intensity of interest and depth of their wallet. | |
| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. If you stream, I suggest "The Jazz Groove" out of S.F. You will get a good selection of "laid back" Also Jazz24 out of Seattle will give you some good exposure. You might find some artists that you enjoy. Jazz is my favorite music idiom. | |
| Magico vs the world Interesting thread that reinforces how equipment choices are subjective to the owner's ears....and different tastes. I have not heard Magico products but wondered what effect a metal cabinet would have. I have heard some Wilson's but they were not... | |

| Lumin T1 vs. SimAudio Moon 280d Andrew, I considered Auralic, Aurender and Lumin. Went with Lumin because of the Lumin app ease of use even though I now use Roon. I bought without auditioning in person but my audio dealer knew my taste and we discussed the different sonic profil... | |
| Lumin Player App Issues Lumin's lead software engineer Peter Lie is pretty responsive. Suggest going to the Roon website and "Lumin" hardware section and post. he will respond. My Lumin app is solid and ditto Roon played through my T2 |
