| To ROON or not to ROON? One word: ROCK I used a NUC with ROCK installed until I get to a Grimm MU1 that has it's own version of ROCK installed on it's roon server. What are you using? Jerry | |
| Halcro update @lynn_olson Indeed. I also find it interesting to see that the new one is claimed to "further reducing non-linear effects and distortion" when the old one had "distortion measured in parts per billion". So there is a lot of marketing there. A... | |
| The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you? When I got out of college and bought my first "nice" stereo, all I could afford was a pioneer SX780 and some junky speakers. Eventually I bought a pair of Mirage M3si but my budget started to be stretched for other things, rock climbing gear, tri... | |
| Anthem MRX 740 8K as an upgrade to my Denon AVR-X3700H @loomisjohnson I just ordered a Marantz Cinema 50. For the price, I'm not realy risking much. I'll report back here when it arrives and I watch a couple of movies. Jerry | |
| Anthem MRX 740 8K as an upgrade to my Denon AVR-X3700H @SOIX the zen is an integrated. But I am using it as an amp with 2 inputs. I have the volume knob maxxed. for 2 channel I use my Lampizator GG3 dac as the pre. For movies, the Denon preout for the 2 front channels drives the Zen. This weekend... | |
| Anthem MRX 740 8K as an upgrade to my Denon AVR-X3700H I appreciate the spirited discussion and am reading and studying it all. I do treat my 7.2 channel system differently than my 2 channel system. My front speakers will always be driven by my 2 channel amp (with pre-signal from my AV system) but... | |
| Anthem MRX 740 8K as an upgrade to my Denon AVR-X3700H @Mahler123 Thanks for folloing up and asking. I haven't actually made the purchase yet. I'm leaning very heavily toward a Marantz Cinema 50. I've been distracted by non-audio activities lately. I also have a new center speaker on order and I'd... | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. @jetter Not sure why you disagree with me and then provide your own evidence why it is in the ditch. | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. Well, this thread went deep into the ditch. | |
| $100-200 linear power supply Digital glare does not exist. | |
| In-wall cable In-wall 10awg wire generally should be solid. | |
| In-Room responce measurement with Legacy Focus SE speakers @erik_squires A lot of us read and take your advice. But it is those who don't who are vocal and argumentative. Often taking your advice results in quiet satisfaction of a problem solved. Jerry | |
| eBay Many missed the point of this. Don't know if it is legal but it isn't ethical. their fees should be based on sales price (and they used to be). Then the figured out that most won't notice if they charge the fees on the shipping too. So if you... | |
| Looking for Cerious Technologies Graphene Matrix D2 1.5M RCA ICs The forum admins don't always give you a pass for not knowing. I would delete this right away. | |
| Looking for 50-100 watts of Tube Power (give or take) for my JBL 4349s Check out the custom high power SETs by Apollo Audio Systems. Small shop with the amps hand made by the designer. Excellent stuff. He has a 20wpc 811a amp that would be perfect for a 91dB speaker unless you're trying to fill a basketball arena. ... |
