| Best Dedicated Streamer I switched from a dCS Vivaldi Upsampler to a Grimm MU1 about 6 months ago. It took me about 15 min. of an in home dealer demo (via UPS) to decide the Grimm was playing in a different league. If you are interested read the reviews on the Grimm and... | |
| Subwoofers and Crossovers. dimbhaka, let me know if you agree with my assessment! Good luck! | |
| Subwoofers and Crossovers. Yes, kind of. The Lampi's analog output goes to my preamp, the preamp output goes to the SHD. The SDH converts the analog back to digital, performs Dirac room correction and performs the crossover high and low pass, then converts the digital back ... | |
| Subwoofers and Crossovers. I use a MiniDSP SHD as an active crossover for my passive 18 inch subs. I also use the included DIRAC room correction that performs DSP on both the subs and the mains. bought the SHD from George at Deer Creek Audio and also gladly paid him to set... | |
| Tweaking the network, surprising results… I incrementally added an Etherrgen, fiber feed, Farad LPS to the regen, Afterdark 10Mhz clock, Farad LPS to the Afterdark, Afterdark upgraded clock cable, all Farad has their upgraded DC and AC cables. The sound has become quite free of digital h... | |
| For those that have separate Streamers & DACS I started streaming with the entry level Naim, then to dCS Bartok, then a Vivaldi short stack, and onto my current and favorite of the bunch a Grimm MU1, feeding a Lampizator Pacific DAC. The Naim was fun to listen too, but not as resolving as I w... | |
| $20k(ish) tube preamps No support for the VAC Master? i'm surprised as it's on my short list, tied to my Gryphon Antilleon EVO stereo. Not trying to hijack the thread, but any thoughts on the Master? | |
| Ethernet - Analog/Digital Signal Clean Up Through incremental purchases and listening for improvement, I have evolved to feeding an Etherregen via fiber from my main entrance point of Google Fiber. I have an Afterdark 10Mhz clock attached to the Etherregen. I have two Farad LPS feeding th... | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? I was on a similar journey, Naim streamer/DAC to dCS Bartok with Oppo 205 Modwright DAC as an option, then to a dCS Vivaldi Stack, and very happily to a Grimm MU1 streamer/storage/upsampler with a Lampizator Pacific DAC. You might want the GG2 ove... | |
| Time clock sync devices + 1 Lordmelton. I had the Word Clock when I had my dCS Vivaldi stack and turning it on and off within the system enhanced the room ambiance significantly, making my system sound more lifelike. Recently I added a 10Mhz Afterdark clock to my Etherre... | |
| Survey on Cost of Loudspeakers Supported On Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums Wilson Sasha 2s on concrete. Sitting 210 pounds of speaker (who's designers pained over resonances) on springs went against everything I thought I knew about isolation, but my ears told me that I should keep the Podiums. | |
| GIK Vicoustic and others Sorry i hit enter without editing my comments. The three panels were GIK. The point at the end was that I ordered black Tube traps and they integrate well with my black speakers/grills/subs. Rather than the off white units that tend to stand out a... | |
| GIK Vicoustic and others I ordered three 6 inch by 2 foot wide and 4 feet tall dual use for my rear wall. The order took a couple of months but they were on time within their estimated time. Packaging was poor. I used a black marker to touch up some light damage. SQ chan... | |
| Is High End Audio catchin' up with you all? Shout out to flatblackround! I'm 6'7" and have always hated running, workouts, and all the other reindeer games. I am coordinatized but never saw the point of putting myself through the misery. I have a theory that tall people on average don't li... | |
| Rouge Audio RP-7 I bought a RP 7 new in 2019 and loved it. I concur with the positive comments written above. I rolled the tubes which is super in-expensive as you can roll two of the four and get 80% of the change with just two of the four tubes. This allows you ... |
