Another animal has been born at the HiFi zoo.... Operating in eye candy mode until I can cook up a set of ground cables.

Let me just say this about Master Sound Discrete. Be careful what you wish for. It's stunning. It's incredible. And it's terrifying. All at the same time. I'm hearing the best sound I've ever heard...it's just stunning, it's incredible,...

Oooo, happy days....ground hog day...it arrived a day early...time to start grounding...

I brought Cheryal over in December. We towed a trailer with essentials. We had a couple plastic chairs the week I was here before heading back. The pods arrived a week later. We still have boxes :). The week that I have joined her over here I...

I have tried many, but most happy with Straight Wire Pro Thunder on amps, preamp, and streamer. Nice and flexible, good solid connection into the component, and sounds amazing.

We will wait for Windows 11 to make further advances to facilitate running Android apk. Meanwhile, there are various fine Windows options to control playback of Lumin, from Roon, Linn apps, or even JRiver. If you use Tidal or Spotify, you can...

I am absolutely convinced that the size of the room matters a lot. Here are my room dimensions: 19'4" wide, 30'7" to wall behind bar, 24'7" to bar, 8'6" to ceiling. This room is in my basement and was a requirement of mine in our new house search....

I live on the other side of the world, my E-800 arrived intact, and it was transported by ship, I believe that both the inner box and the outer box are of excellent quality! I love my Accuphase setup! E-800 + C-47 + DG-68 + DP-570

Congrats! We love our Aqua LaScala. It’s seriously the best DAC I’ve heard under $10k. R2R + Tubes = yummy. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

The last 2 evenings I hooked up, warmed up and listened to the Zanden 3100. I have to say that I am impressed, very impressed. The spaciousness, large soundscape with such incredible realism and dynamics are even scary. 👌 Of course,...

Soon, so many boxes :disbelief::shocking:, its been two days and the kitchen is still being unpacked ( a total of 17 boxes so far) and organized ( I've been told to stay out and carry the boxes in , when requested LOL) TV is working, we are going to...

Yup - for sure. I already have a pair ready to go.

I'll let you know. I'm going to give my first serious listen Saturday @100 hours and then again at 200 and 300 hours.

Thats a great sounding DAC. I have 2 friends that bought it and it is fabulous. Congrats! Once it is broken in try some different tubes.

Very nice! I am seriously curious to know what that sounds like or what your experiences are. Have fun!

I am disappointed that Lumin doesn't seem to be interested. I was hoping they would at least respond with " we will look into it" But no, nothing. ozzy

Mike, Your absolutely correct. Air Tight cartridges are excellent products. MSL was directly involved with Koetsu as you know.

Ok. My strong decision point was Master Sound Discrete. With old normal chip I never bought an Esoteric source.

24/352.8 kHz

Thanks! It’s a lot of work but the most important thing in this hobby is maintaining good water quality. Get that right and everything else is much easier.

I have the feeling that all Esoterics with the Master Sound Discret Dacs and due their software updates will delay the appearance of new versions. K1X was launched even before the N01XD, and nothing has been announced yet. In my case was a strong...

In your opinion how much time need to arrive a new version of current N01XD? I seem it launched about 4 years ago...

Hello & welcome

Hi ohbythebay, are you still around? I realize this is an old thread but I had to respond to it because I just acquired a freshly built K4040 and want to do some mods that I've found. Seems like people have been modding these amps for a long...

Thanks Mike. I’ll definitely have to audition them somehow.

Beautiful…good luck

I made it to 10! Here is the link to the product page. Meitner Audio - Meitner PRE Stereo Preamplifier

I’ve owned both and for me, the 703’s hit way above their price point. They play bigger, more bass and smoother than Sopra 2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Bumping this old thread with a picture of my 70 gallon mixed reef tank!

Welcome to the forum.

A fantastic 2L recording in 24/352.8 kHz.

Beautiful!

I have wooden floors making my Clearaudio Ovation unusable without a wall mount. If you ever get a heavier TT the Solidsteel WS-5 is a beast and when mounted in to studs I think it can hold up to 130 lbs. mounting holes are exactly 16” apart.
