On hunt for new a phonostage
The Aura seems to be your favourite. But other prefer Superline / Supercap . these things are also system, ears dependant. And above all, it depends on the cartridge you have. If for example I had a top Dynavector cart with my Ear 912, I would say that my phono is a crap, with hum, noise, and...- Frenchrooster

To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?
Sorry for the late response. MCRU is indeed an lps, made by MCRU UK. Gunnar and I have both a Naim streamer, and same Melco server/ Nas. my chain: Router > ER/ lps > Phoenix > Melco > Naim Nds. And same chain, but with only the Phoenix. as the Melco is used as a Nas, I find it logical to... -
To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?
I tried to add the ER/ Mcru to the PhoenixNet. The PhoenixNet had 1 week burn in at that time. i found the sound less well balanced, a bit exaggerated. Then I sold the ER/ ps and I enjoy having only one box. after 4 weeks now, I still prefer to connect my streamer ( Naim Nds) to the direct lan... -
Preamp Aries vs Cello ?
Hi guys, i heard recently the big Aries Cerat integrated. I was very impressed. i have an Ear 912 pre. Is it better to add the entry level AC amp to it, or buy instead the entry level integrated? the dealer in France thinks the pre inside the AC integrated is already better. I doubt. The...- Frenchrooster

Tube preamp suggestions under $11K, new/used
Maybe Allnic , Vac Renaissance, CAT , Nagra? these are on my mind if I upgrade one day from my EAR 912. But for now have no idea on how they compare. what I like about the 912 are the dynamics and involvement, along with tubes sound attributes. CAT Legend would be on my radar, if it was not so...- Frenchrooster

To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?
Thanks Re-tread. I am running now again the PhoenixNet, but now my streamer and Melco are both connected to it. However I will try the Melco direct connection. i think the great part of the burning is 4/5 days,, what I experimented with the first Innuos, running outside the app. But as you... -
To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?
If I understand correctly, you found that it better sounding when the KDSM is connected to the S100 vs to the direct Ethernet port of the N10? It’s that ? -
To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?
Ah ok, thanks. So now I don’t understand how could I play music without network. The Melco was connected to the switch and the Nds to Melco, all in Ethernet cables. I could control the Nds with its remote and it was streaming files from the Melco. I don’t understand. -
To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?
Received my new PhoenixNet item. All is working perfectly, the app, and all kinds of connecting. For now I connected both the Melco and Nds to the Innuos. In several days I will compare and see if Nds to Melco or Nds to Innuos sounds better. i can relax now, after 1 week of hassle. -
To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?
The router is connected to the Innuos switch. From Innuos, a lan cable to the Melco. From Melco, another lan cable to the Streamer. Or both Melco and Streamer to the Innuos. Melco is used as a Nas, it has two ports. I don’t understand the crossover connection. -
To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?
If the Melco was connected to the Innuos switch, the ip adress ( written on the screen) of the Melco was beginning by 169..... my ip home network is 192... But when I connected directly the Melco to the router, the ip adress was the good one, beginning by 192... So logically the Innuos was... -
To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?
a little update. I have investigated, spoken to the Innuos support and tried some different set up with the dealer who send me the Phoenixnet. We discovered that the Innuos switch was giving a wrong ip adress . So logically the app couldn’t find the pieces. But strangely the streamer could... -
To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?
A little update after 5 days. i had in the last year the Etheregen bare, then added the Uptone lps 1.2 , a little improvement. Then tried during 2 weeks the Farad 3 lps, which was a clear improvement. But there was some brightness also, on maybe 1/4 of my library. I finally bought the MCRU... -
To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?
So the Melco is used as the first switch, just after the router. Curious. But as you said, if you prefer that, it’s the best for you.
