Using a 508 with 1110/1160 combo and generally v happy. Cartridge is Clearaudio Titanium v2 MC. Just wondering if trading up to an 1108 will improve SQ. I'm clear that the 1108 is more flexible re...

Rajk - this where a separate bank account is helpful. Spend your money, not hers, if you don't want to tell her what things cost. But honesty is crucial. Also the main thing about quality audio is...

Yup, that's Boulder for you. My (relatively) little 1110 and 1160 combo does just that: presents the music without the slightest additional noise, whether hum or hiss or anything else. Very jealous...

I run a Boulder 508 with Clearaudio Titanium v2 and Boulder 1110/11610 combo, and can't fault it. The 508 offers fixed input settings, has only one input, switchable for MC/MM, and is a balanced...

You're very welcome. I'm no tekky but have learnt a lot and enjoyed chats about 2-channel.

What gear do you have and what music do you like?

Hi Jiri

Yes, it can be overwhelming at first, especially when so many members are technically informed and familiar with lots of equipment and how they sound and work together.

A suggestion:...

Hi Jiri and welcome to Audioshark. I've found members to be very friendly and helpful with advice. And I'm not a technical person, by the way!

Some of the people on this forum have systems that...

That makes sense. I have both units connected to the ethernet and if I switch on the 1160 first, the 1110 comes on a few seconds later but without any message. Seems to me that Boulder could add...

Hi all
Well, it's not exactly fixed. The message still appears when switching on from cold (though the amps are on standby all the time). But Boulder say that performance is not affected, and I can...

Thanks for this, Buddy. It's reassuring to know one is not alone and that the amps stull work OK. If I get anything useful from Boulder I'll post it here.

Yes, Julian. Quite right and I have done exactly that. I just thought I would see if this is a common issue. I've had a reply from Boulder already - apparently it's a minor fault with the...

My 1110/1160 combo is behaving a bit oddly. Recently on switching on both units from the remote have glimpsed a message on the 1110 screen which disappears within about 3 seconds, after which all...

Envy, envy.... Bought 1110 and 1160 3 years ago and am still amazed by their power and clarity whenever I listen. The 2110 unit must be truly magical, especially since the Pass Labs XP32 obviously...

Dunno how I did that - but there you go!

Trying to post pic of Floyd's remastered "Piper at the Gates of Dawn"... playing on Garrard 301 + SME 3012 series ll.

Just can't see how to do it so you will need to use imagination!

Thanks very much for these comments. You are taking me down a new avenue here since my real concern was whether a table/arm combo approx 40 years old would be good enough to "manage" a relatively...

Thanks for these thoughts - v reassuring! I'll investigate these upgrades for starters.

Hi all

I'm still using an LP12 with Ittok LVII, bought new in the 80s/90s. Never thought of changing until upgrade to Clearaudio Davinci v2 (where I managed to detach and lose the stylus - ouch)...

Welcome to the Forum and the Triangle Owners' Club!

First off: I really envy you your glorious location in BC. One of our greatest ever holidays was in Canada some years back and we fell in love...

Hi Malcolm and welcome!
Never visited Adelaide but on a hol in Australia in 2006 we met a great couple who lived there. Husband has sadly passed on but wife Dianne Ettridge is still there at 1...

Agreed - it's good to be able to call the inputs exactly what you want! And extraordinary sound quality, of course.

Jeff

You guys have probably cracked this one already but I wanted to find a way of switching on the 1160 at the same time as switching on the 1110. Although there is a "Boulder Net" option on the 1110...

Thanks very much for suggestion. I'll see what's around my area. Sounds like fun!

Thank you, Sean. I just wish I could hear all these great systems that you and other senior members have put together!
