    Have any of you experienced too much of a good thing with componrnents directly on m3x shelves no additional tweaks?

    Doshi Stereo Amplifier Arrived

    Hmm, I will need to check on the umbilical chord on the demo unit I am having sent. Are there any exterior differences that are easily discernible?

    Doshi Stereo Amplifier Arrived

    I had a Ref 6 in my system and really didn’t like it much at all. If the Doshi isn’t lots better I will be disappointed. For all I know the 5se sounds better than the 6 but regardless I am getting a little fed up trying to find something to fill my empty shelf. Do you know if you have the...

    Tidal or Competitor Without a Computer (like Spotify)

    The Zenith is hard to beat imo. It is very easy to use and the customer service is excellent if ever needed. I have never heard the Aurender but I am always reading about various software related issues. There is a small learning curve Ron but after a few hours you’ll be fine. You might even...

    Thanks for the response. Are you thinking about replacing your Ref 5 anytime soon?

    Doshi Stereo Amplifier Arrived

    Does his linestage get the same high praise from you guys that have heard it? Larry, did you compare to the Herron? I am looking for something right about this price range and have tried a couple big names but still a tough time settling in on anything. I like that it has a tvc volume control...

    Tidal or Competitor Without a Computer (like Spotify)

    Ron, certainly if you are planning on getting any new model MSB DAC, even if it somehow magically falls out of the sky and onto your lap, you owe it to everyone on this forum to get a decent Server. Spend a couple of grand and plug in the little cables that come included in the box and press...

    Not worrying about neutrality

    We either need to redefine the word neutrality in this context or come up with a new word altogether unless it is perfection we’re talking about which we know where this will lead. If you use a color chart as a reference and look at “nueteral” colors there are too many variations to help hone...

    Not worrying about neutrality

    Does this not then beg to question as to whether a system can be colored and nueteral at the same time?

    ECM Thread

    One of the first searches I did when I started my new Quboz streaming was ‘Ecm.’ Plenty there to listen to. Great stuff!

    Ron's Speaker, Turntable, Power and Room Treatment Upgrades

    Ahh, I didn’t even consider the time aspect wrt to viewing/downloading larger photos. I was thinking why in the world would anyone complain about a photo being too big. I don’t have this problem but will try to remember next time I post photo.

    Audioquest Hurricane Power Cord

    No, not at all..... I am just satisfied with my set up they way as is. I wouldn’t replace the one Dragon I have now with anything else either. I switched over from my previous loom not too long after the whole “Storm” series was first released and I understand that the entire series was...

    Best music software?

    Yeah...whenever I would look for an album to download on HDt I could usually find the same for less on other sites even after applicable coupons. Plus I always have a difficult time listening to demo tracks on HDt using my iPad.

    Ron's Speaker, Turntable, Power and Room Treatment Upgrades

    Thanks. Based on preliminary tests I am pretty confident I made the correct decision to do the front 1/3 wood and the remaining carpet (with very light padding.).

    Ron's Speaker, Turntable, Power and Room Treatment Upgrades

    So the flooring is installed wihout any sealer. It is engineered wood wih solid oak veneer. The stain was applied by the same guy that did the installation. Approximately 6 feet from front wall to carpet transition.

    Audioquest Hurricane Power Cord

    I have both the Dragon and four Hurricanes, all HC. The Dragon came after all the Hurricanes. When I first put the Dragon in my system I was concerned. I was trying to find the component that it made the least impact on. A testament to the Hurricanes. I found some improvements on my server...

    Best music software?

    Not just Tidal but HDTracks and the likes. Whether you are planning on only streaming or if you have a Sublime+ and download @ 1/2 price...either way I see things changing.

    Best music software?

    I have been streaming Quboz albeit with components taken from a secondary system while I finalize some decisions on a few components and am enjoying much more than Tidal.

    Ron's Speaker, Turntable, Power and Room Treatment Upgrades

    Before stain Finally had my flooring installed. Photos are kinda washed out but the wood floor has a gray finish. I love it! Hopefully the contrast with the amps will help. Still need a few components.

    Transitioning from Electrostatics???

    So how would a pair of MBL fit in with this discussion? Obviously the need for high power/current is there, but wrt transparency in the mid/high freq. as well as overall performance. Perhaps the similarly priced 120 or 126?

    A new star in 2019 : Innuos Statement Server

    If you use iPeng to control your library then in the Zenith settings you disable all server integration which includes Roon, UPnP, and Sonos. Perhaps the reason for better sound, not certain. Bear in mind, no upsampling, and DSD 64 max.

    A new star in 2019 : Innuos Statement Server

    I have been a-b ing iPeng v. Roon since I first got the Zenith. Whenever there is a new Roon update I anticipate an improvement but so far there is never any doubt that iPeng sounds better to me. I always disable all DSP in Roon before listening and I can usually pickup the Roon shortcomings...

    Yes, you can see/access the Zenith settings from any computer on your network which includes editing your music library. FYI you cannot play files this way.
