| Scheu Turntable Importer in US? Scheu tables are superbly built. I own a ‘Das Laufwer2’ with a slate base. It benefitted majorly from switching the motor for a Teres Verus rimdrive | |
| Classical Aficionados: Please Suggest Debussy Solo Piano recordings There are two reference recordings of the Etudes: Krystian Zimmerman and Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. Both are marvelous but quite different. | |
| Innuos and Roon? Roon with its heavy CPU usage is the opposite philosophy to InnuOS. Purely in terms of SQ InnuOS’ Sense beats Roon by a country mile. If you insist on using Roon, InnuOS is not the right choice | |
| Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members! A few contentious opinions 1. Short cables are better than long cables 2. Solid core OHNO is better than litz 3. First clean up the power 4.Make sure everything has good grounding 5. Then fight RFI/EMI wherever possible 6. Put speakers on sp... | |
| Ferrite cores on cables Use 2 1.5V AAA batteries with the ‘+’ pole pointing to the speaker. Much better than ferrites | |
| Why do I need a switch? A cheap addition would be a PinkFaun Isolator going into the Devialet. You might be pleasantly surprised. Also adding a quality clock to the Etherregen and more importantly a better power supply has major benefits | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? The Phoenix Net is in no small portion a reclocker. In my system I reclock the ethernet with both an Etherregen clocked by Antelope 10m preceded by a LHYaudio Ocxo switch. The effect of both is demonstrable and not achievable by Isolators or filte... | |
| A simple tube hack Nope, blue tack doesn‘t melt at tube temperatures | |
| Making speakers “disappear”….. Unfortunately there is no hard and fast rule. Much depends on room geometry incl. height and damping. As a general rule on conventional speakers the time difference between direct sound and first reflection point has the most important impact on p... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk Reclocking and filtering are different things with different effects. I‘d argue which works better is by definition highly dependent on circumstances and quality of equipment. Granted the effects of reclocking are much more insidious and... | |
| Why do I need a switch? Digital is about clocking and power supplies. This is where switches and USB reclockers come in. On Ethernet, the fibre route works up to a point since it doesn‘t suffer from EFI/RFI noise incursion. Alas, the converters themselves aren‘t the best... | |
| Amplifier pairing for Altec Flamencos Try to find a used Wavac MD300b. They are very rare but marvellous | |
| Has anyone bought the Psvane Acme 300B Vacuum Tube? Any statement on 300bs without mentioning the driver tubes in my experience is unlikely to be repeatable. In my Wavac EC300b I run Taks and EATs., while both easily beat the TJFull Musics mesh plate irrespective of the driver tube, The Taks work b... | |
| Ethernet and USB cables @moto_man my I suggest you insert a switch before your streamer or even better an Etherregen. ..and use a short cat8 cable to connect the two. 40ft between router and streamer is only workeable if you go optical, which alas has its own issues in ... | |
| The Mood Was Ruined Piano solo is the acid test for any system. In my case I have come off vinyl because of its many distortion issues and limited dynamic range. That said, digital has a way of getting screwed up through bad editing and dynamic compression if you cho... |
