    The ultimate Reiner/CSO Scheherazade in analog

    its pretty tough to beat the Analogue Productions tape. I have it and several versions of the LP but the tape is simply better

    Grimm Master Clocks

    The Grimm MU1 already includes a very nice Grimm Clock and does not allow the addition of an external clock source. Regarding Grimm Master Clocks, they are outstanding products and are used widely in the pro-audio world. ****DEALER****

    Grimm MU-1 server review - A new force in digital source?

    You do not need to use the AES/SPDIF output on the MU1 to use the core. Your Roon license allows you to connect to one Roon core. It doesn't care if the core is on a computer or an MU1. I have a number of customers who have a house full of Roon End Points, all utilizing the MU1 as the core. Of...

    Dedicated Modem

    I think you are much better off upgrading your front-end network equipment to a "prosumer" level product like Ubiquiti. It will allow you to use software to direct and manage your network more effectively. Putting in 2 independent internet feeds still points both of them to your ISP networks and...

    Vertere HBS power-cable : IMHO the 2nd Best Power-cable for Frontends/Preamps

    I am a Vertere cable dealer and I can honestly tell you that the Redline is not in the same league as the HB series. I love the Redline cable, especially at its price, but the HB is very special. Someone mentioned the ethernet cable, we consider it the best cable we have ever heard on any of our...

    Low cost streaming solution

    I would recommend the Cambridge Audio MNX10 or AXN10 (full size/half size chasis). Price is $499. Two main reasons: service is very good and their StreamMagic software supports spotify and is very well done. ****Dealer****

    Boiler room noise cancellation

    ever measure the offending frequencies? You say mass is needed, but that may not be necessary depending on what noise is being emitted.

    Why aren't coaxial speakers more popular?

    might as well throw the Fyne people into the fray. They have a lot of experience in this area and I find their products to be outstanding. Fyne IsoFlare coax design ***Dealer***

    Turntable Level

    guys, take a look at this unit. I have used their machinist products in the past setting up speakers and they work very well. It is quite accurate and allows you to look at your smartphone rather than a bubble on the table. Digi-Pas 2-Axis Smart Cube Level

    Looking for a new CD-player, Aesthetix, Esoteric, Lux or….

    Can't forget the T+A PDT3100 HV. Outstanding build quality and one of the few that still builds their own drives. CD/SACD. They also have a couple of lower priced models. T+A website link ****Dealer**** also, I have heard that Ayon has some great transports. I can't confirm that but thought...

    PSI Audio AVAA C20 Active Bass Absorber

    I have experienced it whenever there are static issues in the room (winter). Nothing major, quick a quick pop sound. I am glad people are discovering this product. I love them and recommend them to my clients all the time.
