I was interested in the Mingus Quintet or the Mingus Twenty in Q3 2021, but learnt that Marten is going to introduce the Mingus Quintet MK 2 version towards end of 2021. I ordered the Mingus Quintet...

If you can demo the Mingus Quintet 2, try to compare them with the Parker Quintet Diamond. The orice difference may not be that huge.
I have the Mingus Quintet 2, they are matched the Vitus SIA-030...

have been hesitating for months to try the grounding of my Reference Dac/Powerbase because there is no grounding terminal on the Vitus SIA-030 amplifier. Finally, a friend tested the screws on the...

I bought the Marten Mingus Quintet 2 and they are great speakers.

I bought the new Marten Mingus Quintet MK 2 recently. These beautiful speakers are very detailed, transparent and dynamic. Very fast bass and incredible highs.

I used the ProUSB-ISL modules on my MSB Reference dac and has an Intel NUC11i5 mini PC running Roon Core server and player with Linux Ubuntu LTS OS. The ProUSB module and NUC are located in a closet...

Oh, I see. Excellent

Just using the MSB ProUSB to ProISL input modules will provide 100% optical and thus electrical isolation.

The SIA-030 has got quite a few rave reviews since its launch in 2019. I guess it is time for Vitus to update the Masterpiece MP-S201 or Signature SS-103 power amplifiers.

Hi Ken,
Are you considering the Digital Director or an expensive Server upgrade?

Yes, the Taiko Extreme, Aurender N20, Antipodes Oladra or K50, Wadax Reference Streamers/Servers are expensive and may not justify the incremental improvements over a Roon Nucleus Plus or dedicated...

Thanks Ken,
I am using a dedicated NUC11 with Roon Core server to MSB Reference DAC's Pro USB-ISL modules input. I am wondering how much performance improvement can be had with an expensive...

Hello Ken,
Have you tried the Pro USB-ISL to your Select II with your Nucleus+? Your MSB Transport is already using the Pro ISL already?
Thanks.

The Antipodes K50 is a great server/player and I have been looking at it, but unfortunately it is an expensive server! Have you used any other server before the K50? Are you using the Pro USB-ISL...

Yes, it is headless. No maintenance required, but you have to set the Roon apps to auto update so that when there is an update released by Roon it will automatically be updated.
I just left the...

I installed Linux Ubuntu on NUC11 i5 with 16GB RAM and 500 GB SSD to run Roon Core server. Can't install Roon ROCK on a NUC11.

Hello Bill,
Can you please give some updates on your MSB Reference DAC and Roon Nucleus+ combo with the MSB S202? Are you still using the Nucleus+ with the Renderer V2 input?
I am having the MSB...

Hi RaChik,
Did you buy the Mingus Quintet?
Let me know how you like them?

Hi Sharkmouth,

Do you still have your Mingus Quintet? I am sure you are enjoying the music.

Have you heard the Mingus Twenty?

Hi bzr,
Thanks for your reply.
The Mingus Twenty has the same cabinet and drivers as the Mingus Quintet, except for internal cables using Jorma Statement cables and the crossover components are...

I am considering the Mingus Quintet or the Mingus Twenty.
Marten has the new Isolator feet for the speakers now and can be an upgrade for existing Marten models

Hello,
I am thinking of getting the Mingus Twenty limited edition for their 20th Anniversary.
Should be similar to the Mingus Quintet!
Is it worthwhile to pat the extra for this Limited Edition?
