Exactly. To advertise and say they are made in Scotland when you KNOW they are not, is completely dishonest. Now, if they were lying to the distributor too, then that’s another story, but I doubt it. Pretty easy to tell where they are...

The 1160 is a great amp. The 2160 is truly a league above and more in line with the Block. The Constellation lineup is also great. The 1160 is a little more laid back then the 2160 and a lot more laid back then say Block or Soulution. I won’t...

He’s a great resource for dealers. Glad he’s staying on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I just watched the video. Very interesting. But the video comments from former VP’s at Tannoy and new distributor are very revealing. I guess KD is no longer the distributor if I’m reading this correct? No love lost for me with him I’ll...

That used one is VERY old, only one power supply (not two as standard) and the old standard clock (not the much better femto 33, which even the ref has!). A ref with femto 33 will outperform this used one AND you get to take advantage of the trade...

The metadata on my Aurender N20 is already a mess. I transferred files that had been burned via different machines over 16 years. I lack the skill set to do any repairs. Albums that JRiver showed complete now show up as separate tracks. Sometimes...

“I've grown to use it almost exclusively because with the Statement NG, music sounds more vital than it does through Roon.” When I first told people roon was not the best sounding, they thought I was crazy. How could software affect the sound? ...

Thanks to everyone. By server I mean music stored on an HDD or SSD drive for playback. I am not sure why that was not clear. Thanks for the education on various options. None really work for me. I already have an Aurender N20. If I make a...

An external SSD is also useful for transferring files from another machine or to copy CDs to before loading on the Aurender. I wish Aurender offered CD copying capabilities via an external optical drive. When I purchase a new CD I have to use...

I use this in my Aurender N20. One year old and no problems. SAMSUNG 870 QVO SATA III SSD 1TB 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive. I also have two Samsung Portable SSD T7s that work with no problems. One is my external music backup and one is...

Competing with integrated amps….not their goal for 861/812. More small space, lifestyle system. Built in DAC/Streamer/Headphone amp and all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

No, but I’m not sure that’s their target. I think an 1161/1160 is a good target. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

It’s amazing to me that people think wire is wire. The other day we set up the NEAT speakers in the back room. With the Nordost speaker cables, it was not a good match. That ribbon tweeter did not respond well. Switched to the Sigma speaker...

I am completely confused by what you are calling "back drop". Maybe it is just the type of speakers I have been using (Quad and now Sound Lab).:huh::dunno:

Hello and welcome! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I am sure Kevin felt pretty new clothes deserved a new body. Trickle down from the higher end amps makes sense and follows VAC (and many other companies) traditional philosophy.

I didn’t hear anything in particular. Glad you guys love the styling. It’s a carry over from the Master 300 which I designed. The Master 300’s are my favorite tube amps (if I’m allowed to say that without too much fussing!) Sent from my iPad...

Anyone have a Triton T2 manual handy? Does it mention if there is a separate filter connected to each grounding terminal? I saw a video about Altaira SGS and there is a filter on those terminals. I think the filters were separate.

Better to stick with the 300 or save for another 300. The 202 is basically the 200iQ with new cosmetics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Bob, I see you made a timer to track tube hours. I am getting new gear and think a tracker would be a good idea. Are there commercially made ones available? Thanks for the pictures of your beautiful system. The picture of your truck en-route was...

Not really relevant. I was talking about delivery time for a package loaded or about to be loaded (next day) on the final delivery vehicle. Trucks don't drive random routes. They have a known start area and sequence they follow until the final...

Funny they don’t mention that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Reminds me of the fuses we tried. One even costing $1500. The folks who were blindfolded could not tell any difference with any of the fuses. I guess if you find a fuse that messes with the sound, that could change things. But is it better? ...

My package weighed 65 pounds (24x24x19"). I certainly did not want to muscle it through Walgreens and then in/out of my vehicle. I left a note on my door and the FedEx driver kindly delivered the package to my next door neighbor. That way I did not...

Thanks Bob but I have been there and done that. Delivery Manager takes me to my account where they ask if I want to add another delivery address. There is no popup menu of local FedEx sites. I have tried several times and it always ends the same.

Thanks for the responses. I tried to do select a FedEx facility for pickup that but maybe I did something wrong. I expected a list of facilities to pop up for me to choose from. Instead I was asked to enter an address. Did I do something wrong? Is...

M7 has been a GREAT seller for us! Now what will I do with all these Q7’s? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

I have not updated. My two attempts failed and I gave up since the update did not seem to relate to playback quality. To remedy the failed update I was instructed to uninstall Conductor and install the new version. Since the new one was a Beta...

I have not contacted anyone. It is no big deal. I am just trying to learn. I have some other equipment that shuts off automatically if there is no signal or user input for a specific time. The Aurender does not shut off it just stops playing the...

Radio plays for a long time then stops and I have to restart. Is there a function that requires user input to continue playing? I am using the radio only for burn in so I am not making any changes on the Conductor app.

That begs the question of how much better is an Everest vs a Denali 600/S v2 for source components and line stages. Information there would be appreciated.

7ryder, Am I correct in interpreting from your equipment list that the combo only powers your amps and subs? If I added a T2 to my Denali it would be powering my front end. That would be an Aurender N20, Bricasti M3, and (summer season) a VAC...

It has been over 7 months since the last post on this thread. Does anyone have experience with using the T2 in series with a Denali 6000/S v2?

mxk116, The mystery continues. Conductor reset itself somehow. I wish I knew the secret handshake because I am going "groundhog day" and repeating yesterday. I am burning in via radio until this afternoon or evening when I return to my regularly...
