| Optical Isolation I run the opticalRendu player/ endpoint along with the optical module to get my fiber to optical transition hook up. A nice set up to clean up the potentially noisy ethernet. I started with the sonicTransporter I5 as a roon core. Not sure how t... | |
| Best Dedicated Streamer Someone else mentioned Lucas Domansky and his LDMS. Custom made and absolutely the finest addition to my system. It simply blew away my SMG, my Aurender, and my Aurilac. And a great value to boot. It was hard for me to believe a streamer could ... | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement If you say you have a dedicated line and are getting noise from the AC then you dont have a true dedicated line. A true dedicated has to be brought in independent from the street. At the very least you are sharing a ground on your dedicated line. | |
| Chord DAVE DAC Recently my nephew had a Chord Dave and replaced it with a Lampizator Baltic 3. It was a marked improvement in SQ in his system. I liked the difference so much I went and bought the Lampi Big 7 mk2. It's just so much more organic and natural so... | |
| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? Ideon Audio 3R Master Time Black Star. | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i Look into some of the simple DIY mods to those Cornwalls. They really make quite a difference in SQ. | |
| DAC recommendation in 5 to 10K range Lampizator out of Poland. Baltic 3 or Atlantic TRP. A used Big 7 which is the first in the lineup of DHT triode will be in your budget also. | |
| Optical vs Ultra Rendu. Streaming was a mystery for me for years. Called Andrew Gillis from SGC one day and got the full I5 bundle with optical rendu and I had the equipment in 2 days. He set me up remotely and that 2nd night I was streaming Tidal Masters through Roon.... | |
| No more "High End" for me...Back to Reality Audio Rayjugsw I used the VCap ODAMS for the crossover mod. In fact I use those caps for a lot of my mods. They are great for both crossovers and circuits. Always get a nice positive move forward. If you already have caps that's great, but just an ... | |
| No more "High End" for me...Back to Reality Audio Rajugsw There is a nice DIY mod for those Cornwalls that really add to their performance. Involves damping those plastic horns. Bracing the cabinet. And some work on the crossover and wiring. It's a few hundred bucks but it's a good nice pos... | |
| China built tube amps If you are just getting into trying tubes look at the Carver Crimson 275. A giant killer at $2750. KT 120 power tubes (or it 88 or 6550) gets you all kinds of power. Five year warranty on the entire unit including tubes. Change the signal tubes... | |
| Does Anyone Know What is Up with High Fidelity Cables? Just got an email yesterday with all HFC products are now 60% off. And if you by a "signature" product they will upgrade to "3D" for free. | |
| a remarkably basic question about Roon I held off on streaming fir a long time because I didnt know where to start. Small Green Computer kept coming up and I called and talked to Andrew Gillis who has his own line of music servers / Roon cores and also sells the Sonore rendu products ... | |
| Ready For Digital Source...Computer? Call Andrew Gillis at Small Green Computer. He told care of this old timer who didn't know squat about setting up streaming. A great experience and great products. | |
| Tube or R-2R DAC for Tube System I've had my Musical Paradise mp DAC mk3 for a while. It has user changeable caps (no soldering) and uses both 5 and 6.3 volt rectifiers, and 12 or 6 volt signal tubes. You can even change the chipsets from AKM's to ESS Pros. I've done a couple ... |
