    Looking to swap my Moon 390 for a analog pre

    Good day all, I’m looking to move my Moon 390 probably for a Hegel P20 or 30 if I can pitch it. It will be matted up with the Moon 760A and will pick up a lumin D3. I’m looking for that open transparency sound I miss from my Bryson BP26. I don’t think the Bryson and moon would pair well...

    Help between pre power vs intergrated

    I’m down to a Bryston BR20 and a used power amp on Canuck or 700i V1 simaudio, and a LUMIN transport D2 or T1 on the used market. I know no one has heard the BR20 but from what we know of Bryston it will be good (there saying there best yet and truly balanced and quiet). It has the BDA3 and...

    Lumin D2 balanced out

    I had a mini running into a Bryston Dac prior. I’m looking at a D2 and a Sugden ia-4 intergrated. I have Roon running on my iMac as before, this set up would work using the balanced out into a older amp? If I’m understanding right the D2 has a built in dac

    Anyone with Simaudio experience

    Had to sell my Bryston 4B3, BDA3 and BP26 along with my lumin U1 with sbooster. Will be looking for a fix shortly and have a line on a simaudio 340iX and 280D streamer dac with Mind module. Anyone have experience with this line. I’ve heard only good things, and I myself have to be realistic...

    Streaming vs dedicated CD player

    Lumin mini with sbooster via Siltech golden ridge 2 AES into a Bryston BDA3. If I put this Siltech cable on a new bryston CD3 which one would win for straight up sound quality. Thanks

    Robin Hood speaker

    Morning all anyone have a chance to compare Robin Hood vs William tell. I picked up Robin Hood as it fit my budget but of course left wondering if I should have held off for the William tell at 3X the price almost.

    Covid upgrade bug

    With the future bringing in more home time I’m looking for my next logical upgrade. Bryston BP26, BDA3, 4B3, focal 1027BE, Lumin mini U1. Crystal cable micro between the dac and power amp, piccolo for speaker entry point for the line. Siltech golden ridge 2 AES between the lumin and Dac. Im...

    Lumin U1 power supply upgrade

    I’m sure this has been touched on before but for $500 is this a worth while upgrade or just something nice. I seen a few posts where some claim 15-20% increase in performance. Thoughts about it. Thanks, Mike

    U1 mini settings for MQA

    I have all of my digital outputs turned off as I’m using the AES to my dac. When going through the lumin faq web page they recommend using the analog output so the unit does the work before the dac for MQA. But on my iPhone for that setting I have no analog box to check. Dac is a bryston BDA3...

    Siltech

    After googling Siltech to death there really isn’t much out there especially real world use. Anyone have experience with this line, I’m a fan of crystal cable and have it through out my system. Golden Ridge digital II is what I have coming moving from a nordost Hemidall 2.

    Lumin U1 mini w/ bryston BDA3

    First post here. I’m moving from a bryston Pi to a Lumin mini, and as a I have a bryston dac I’m running USB. For those of you who have the mini where does the stronger sound lay USB or AES? Bryston dac’s do have a really solid USB in and out for SQ. Rest of my system is all Bryston BP26...
