| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @fleschler glad to hear the day-night problem went always for you as your system improved. For me it was the opposite. As my system started to become more revealing the problem emerged. And yes the problem was diminished as I further upgraded from... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Over the past two nights I’ve noticed sound with the Tambaqui to be significantly clearer with greater dynamics and more dimensionality at night, after midnight. Which is typical for most people I know, but the difference between day and night has... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley should have both next week, however I need to travel for work and will be gone most of the week which is terrible. And my wife said she will NOT set everything up to commence burn-in while I’m on the road…. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @jetter thanks and I wasn’t aware you could actually use the Diablo as a power amplifier. But my thought of buying a Mola Mola Makua preamp and using the Diablo 300 as a pure power amp was more of a fantastical musing after being so impressed by M... | |
| New release - Shunyata Omega interconnects and speaker cables @searoll923 , is there a new version of Omega? I have an Omega AES cable in order and am not aware of any new version? I also have Sigma NR V2 balanced interconnects on order. This isn’t why I bought these but check out Jay’s Audio Lab’s video ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Still trying to figure out how the Tambaqui can be this revealing and “musical” at the same time. I think its secret is in how transients are presented. While the transients are so, so quick (finally my system matches the transient response I ado... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Good point @metaldetektor. I ran into someone who sold his MU1 to purchase the new Playback Designs streamer. He is already concerned he will miss his MU1 and was contemplating contingency options to get one back in case he has seller’s remorse. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk , interesting, let us know your thoughts. I’ve heard the S1 punches above its price point | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Of note, Christiaan at HiFi advice now says the new streamer from Playback Designs is the best he’s heard. He seemed slightly down on the Grimm with the latest Roon update softening the sound, while he acknowledged this could be a welcome change ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @thyname the components I’ve been swapping out since January include the Aurender N20, Merason DAC-1, and now the Tambaqui. My MU1 should arrive in a week or a few days later (really this time). It will be connected to the Tambaqui via AES of cour... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @thyname , yes the Grimm is known for doing more with less, and the price did just go up $2,500 right after I bought it. Being hostage to Roon updates with potential impacts to sound is somewhat mitigated by the fact that the MU1 takes control and... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? H @lalitk , “transformative” is a good word that I would apply to how I would describe the magnitude of difference that the Tambaqui brings. That said, I normally would use that word for when anyone, not just me, and not just audiophiles, would no... | |
| Fee for home audition Also, we live in a post-slap world; Don Corleone was not the correct standard to reference for all slapping related matters… | |
| Fee for home audition @svenjosh lol… “are you a dealer? You sound nice” Congrats on your MU1! Should maybe have mine next week if I’m lucky. Could be a few days later. Just curious, is there a type of music you find that it sounds better in NOS mode vs 4X OS mode?... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? The reason I went with Shunyata cables in the end (Omega AES and Sigma NR V2) is because I was impressed by a home demo / bake-off I did with Shunyata Omega vs Audioquest Dragon power cords on my Gryphon integrated, a couple of years back. The Sh... |
