Below is my system rating. Here’s a detailed, audiophile-level evaluation of your system. Short version: This is a genuinely reference-grade setup with extremely high performance potential. I’d rate it 9.4 / 10overall—firmly in the top 1–2% of home audio systems, assuming the room is...

Very cool. I’ll have to try that as well.

Update….I purchased the Aurender N200 new from Mike. With early impressions and only a few hours on it the sound is much better than my N100H. More detailed for sure.

I did reach out to JL Audio and received the below response. It’s very disappointing Thank you for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your f113. Unfortunately, since you last reached out, repairs and replacement parts for v1 Fathoms have been discontinued. We do have...

That’s great! Thanks for the reply. I’ll be reaching out to JL Audio today.

Thanks Bill, I am aware of what needs to be done as my other ff113 needed the capacitors replaced. My initial concern was that JL Audio doesn’t provide the service anymore. I will reach out to JL Audio to see if they will service.

My 2nd JL Audio f113 v1 now has the dreaded hum. About 2 years ago I removed the amplifier from my 1st f113 v1 and sent it to JL Audio and still works flawlessly. I recently found out that JL Audio no longer does the repairs. With that being said. Would removing the amplifier from the humming...

Hi Nicoff, There’s Absolutely nothing wrong with my N100H. I have the N100H for sometime now and looking to upgrade to another music server for better sound. I’d like to stay within the Aurender family but it’s not etched in stone. A new N200 would be great but out of my budget so I’m on the...

Looking to upgrade my N100H. Budget is around $3500 new or used. In my line of sight are the Aurender N200 and N10. (Used) Any other recommendations are greatly appreciated. Does not have to be Aurender.

Hi All, I'm looking to upgrade my Sennheiser HD 650 headphones. I have a Schiit Jotunheim 2 Headphone Amp on the way. My budget is $1,500 but would like to keep it around $1,200. The below is what is currently in the running with MSRP and not what is currently on sale. Hifiman Arya Organic...

Here’s my Tandberg TD 20A that I had from 1983 to 2020. I wish I still had it to make tape dubs.

Here's mine! Otari MX5050B 2II

I see pictures of the Audioquest Firebird 48 HDMI cable with the 72v DBS sometimes attached to the side of the cable with the arrow pointing away (Transport side) and sometimes pointing in ( Towards the DAC) Mine is on the transport side. My question is does it matter? The cable is directional...

So I was never really satisfied with Mobile Fidelity SACD's but really like their Ultra Disc One-Step Vinyl even though they use the analog master to DSD. Then I'm thinking both are essentially using the DSD format so why so different? Is my analog setup far superior to my digital setup? I...
