| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? @audphile1 ….are you going to try in your system? | |
| Recommendations for MM Phono ~ Tube or Solid State @lewm Your point duly noted! In essence, tube rolling is as much about understanding circuit design as it is about personal taste. The idea of swapping tubes to enhance a particular sound can be fun and rewarding, but it’s important to recogniz... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? @audphile1 You’re correct in your understanding of the Telegärtner Opt Bridge 1000M. To clarify: The Telegärtner Opt Bridge 1000M is indeed an optical isolator that performs copper-to-optical-to-copper conversion. It allows for electrical isola... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? “Copper->Fiber->Copper didn’t work for me” @audphile1 To my earlier post on your Aurender thread, if you eliminate the use of fiber optic cable between transceiver, you’re likely to hear much more organic presentation. It’s the darn conver... | |
| Discerning a difference between streamers is difficult...only me or common for all? @romanesq You bring up a solid point. Amplification quality is crucial because it directly influences how well the entire system will perform, especially with speakers. A high-quality amplifier can bring out the best in a set of speakers, ensuri... | |
| Recommendations for MM Phono ~ Tube or Solid State Softone Model 4 phono continues to improve and today marked a noticeable shift in sound, rendering more relaxed and mesmerizing sound. Listening to “When Your Love Is Gone” from Ben Webster Meets Oscar Peterson - 45RPM….gave me goose bumps. Thi... | |

| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @audphile1 You may appreciate this update….I recently inserted Telegartner Opt Bridge 1000M Optical Isolator between my Merging +player and Apple router. You may recall I have experimented with Fiber Media Converter and SFP fiber optic transceiv... | |
| What % Of Your System Are Your Cables? I don’t believe in allocating certain % to cables or tweaks. Cables can easily be your bottle neck so audition as many cables you can within your budget and keep the ones that brings best possible sound out of your components and to your ears. If ... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @mclinnguy Agreed with your take on these updates. The implementation of software + hardware and little bit of diligence with LAN connectivity is the key between these streamers/servers sounding amazing to good enough. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @audphile1 Merging + player (DAC + Roon endpoint + Core) supported by external master clock and power supply. | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @audphile1 To my understanding, software updates to Roon app contributed to bump in SQ. They are constantly updating the software (mostly ironing out bugs) but the updates around March 2024, when I noticed Roon sounding significantly better than... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @mclinnguy Roon’s integration with folder views is a significant step for those who prefer a more hands-on approach to library management, especially when paired with devices like the ACS. It bridges the gap between metadata-driven organization ... | |
| Ugliest Component of the Year 2024! @larryi Those are some horns…Personally, I wouldn’t care to own them but I believe some people pride themselves in owning something rare as this regardless of its appearance. They may sound phenomenal but for me, striking a balance between form, ... | |
| Lumin U2 or Aurender N200 @audphile1 Thanks for posting your impressions. Your assessment aligns with mine, I have yet to find analog and digital cables from one brand offering great synergy and competing with very best, within my budget..LOL! Usually it’s one or the ot... |
