I look forward to your impressions. In my case, the X1 is plugged into the Puritan PSM1512, which is also connected to the Route Master and City Ground Master. This was also the case when I was...

I too read some user reviews that were concerned on sound quality changes with the hardware upgrade to G4. I elected to hold initially upgrading my originally released K50 to get more feedback. I...

Regarding the K41, you would also need to consider whether it is an original G3 (Generation 3) or has had the hardware upgrade or new unit that is G4. There is also a very recent major software...

Old thread, but added Puritan Labs a month ago along with Route Master and City Ground Master. I have been grounding to the X1, but today changed to grounding on X1 power supply. I prefer the...

I believe there are some similarities with L2 and K41, but also significant differences. My understanding is the L2 is a server for the music it stores for Lumin players while the K41 is a server...

My X1 power supply is only slightly warm in standby, but I do not have an IR temperature measuring device to quantify. Have you actually measured temperature of yours? I have my power supply to...

I use the remote to put the X1 into standby. I may be incorrect, but have been of the opinion that completely powering down power supply initially reduces sound quality when powering back up and...

PM893 3.84 TB really has come down in price at Amazon as apparently have some other Samsung drives. In late March of 2021, I paid $430.66 for 3.84 TB EVO 860. My drive data recently became...

.

Also works for me with Norton VPN for iMac M1 and iPad for Qobuz, Roon, Lumin App and Squeeze with other DAC in my system. I do disable the VPN if I am using Antipodes website to discover...

I have Antipodes, not Aurender. Samsung drives have been well reported by Antipodes owners with the PM893 the current favorite by Antipodes and owners who have moved to it.

@XRS,

While I'm of an age that has been accustomed to printed manuals, I really have liked the web/download version--it is updated as new models, software updates, and features become available. ...

Once upon a time long, long ago I had a Dual 1229 and a Shure V15 type 2 cartridge. I also had a cartridge for Quadraphonic--that was a short side road that dead ended. I also had a Marantz 4430...

Newmill,

I do not power down with the switch unless I'm going to be away for a period of more than a couple days. Instead, I allow Idle Sleep function in the App (I have selected 15 minutes) to...

@Newmill,

My Lumin experience is with the X1. For me this unit noticeably improved over hundreds of hours. 200 playing hours for me was a major settling in point, but still improved and thought...

Pete at Triode Wire Labs does work with customers on various custom cables. It may be worthwhile to inquire with him. Very recently he has re-added his "Passion" USB back into ordering...

I like the whole album Sloe Gin, and specifically Sloe Gin track. The sirens moving across the soundstage is fun. Years ago a buddy was over listening to my system. When that part of the this...

Thanks Mike. I very much like those options. I have an Antipodes K50, where the owner supplies the drives. With the Antipodes, installing 2 drives makes for a single logical drive. Will the L2...

Mike,

Are the dual SSD storage bays for the L2 populated only by Lumin drives or are the drives user selectable from separate supplier, Samsung for example?

My Mola Mola is the Makua with DAC. It does not have the I2S input as does the stand alone Tambaqui. My K50 does have an I2S output that I have used with a PS Audio DirectStream Mk1 I still have....

Smile,

There is considerable difference of opinion among users regarding Roon sound quality. I have Roon and enjoy it, particularly the well developed interface and environment, but do cycle my...

The Tambaqui ethernet input is Roon Ready. You will need Roon as a server in your system to play, but would not require a separate streamer. The other digital inputs can accept Roon but are not...

For Lumin units with both fiber and copper Ethernet connection options, I know Lumin specifically instructs "Do not connect both fibre and copper Ethernet of LUMIN back to the switch as this creates...

My opinion per my experience is AES/EBU cable sound signature presentation does evolve with hours of use. I perceived a change pretty early on, say 20 hour mark, but believe presentation continued...

ozzy,

I have not tried change of fuse, but am curious about this. If I recall correctly on previous read, not sure here or other forum, that there was discussion on increasing amp rating on...

ozzy,

I have not previously read of one having and compared both. I do have the AudioSensibility Lumin DC cable, which I enjoy and have posted on, but no experience with the Westminster Lab one....
