Amazing! Has anyone worked out what the optimal room size is between the S3 and S5?

All, I have an interesting situation. My Gryphon Pandora is faulty (right channel not working). Maybe just a fuse - who knows. My wonderful Gryphon dealer in Singapore is checking it out. In the meantime, am running my MSB Premier DAC directly to my Gryphon Antileon Evo. For the first...

Have a fascinating experience to share. After my dog destroyed one of my Magico S3 mk2 bass drivers (literally ripped it off - had to buy a whole new driver from the US and have it installed for SG$3k) she most recently decided my MIT SL-Matrix 70 (SG$7.5k) speaker cable was steak. I skipped...

Fellow ASs, I have two questions. Probably already covered in other threads but here goes: 1. Clock. How much better is the Femto 93 clock compared to the standard-issue MSB Premier clock? Worth the $5k or so? 2. Pre-amp. If I upgraded my Premier DAC to the Reference and used that as my...

My two favourite amps. Does anyone have strong views in terms of preference and if so why? Mike - I won’t ask you to pick a winner. Your other threads sum it up well.

Not expecting any conversation from this. Just wanted to say that when you are smashing your favourite music on a decent soundsystem, to the point when you cannot go to sleep because sleep is boring and the music is better, you know you are addicted:heart

My goal is to upgrade my wonderful Magico S3 Mk2 speakers to do justice to the rest of my system. Next 6-12 months. Have settled on the above options as preferences. Would appreciate thoughts. From what I have learned, all these speakers are equivalent (roughly speaking). Unless you think I...

First of all, it takes me a while to work out how to post a new thread here. Mike - it would be an enhancement if you could add this as an icon in the main menu. Second, is it just me or does anyone else have Roon often crapping out? My internet connection and wifi is decent. But more often...

Amazing how much happier I feel now that I can listen to my music again after 5 weeks. My AQ Niagara crapped out but it has been fixed and is working well again. Couldn’t work out why I felt such a lack of energy these last few weeks, but it should have been obvious :celebrate008_2:

Mine isn’t. The music stops after a handful of tracks (the number varies). I am running the latest Roon software as well as the latest software for my music server (on which I run Roon Core), and have rebooted my server, without success.

This is a 12-18 month project so I might as well start flirting now :) Does anyone have any views on these 3 speakers? I have not heard any of them but for some reason, and after a lot of thinking and research, these are the 3 on my shortlist. Call it intuition. Due to my fairly limited...

I just had a 60 minute skype chat with Jim. I have been following Jim’s comments on AS for some time now and with interest. I can hand on heart say that my chat with Jim was educational and I can’t wait to implement his advice. In short, I need to reconfigure my room. And at fairly minimal...

Are there any Gryphon Antileon (any model) owners or even anyone who has heard one before out there? Am home auditioning the Evo Stereo end of July against my Diablo 300. Would love to hear about any experiences.

We all have our top 5-10 tracks or so that we know inside out and use to test any new potential component in our system. What are yours? What are the tracks you know so well that they become a benchmark to judge equipment? Here are mine (in no particular order): 1. Caravan (Whiplash...

Wow! 10% improvement, on every measure. Only question is should it be diamond from router to etherent socket in wall?
