    Anthony Cordesman Passes

    I apologize if this has already been posted. I searched and did not see it. High End Audio Writer (TAS and Stereophile) Anthony Cordesman passed away suddenly in late January. I have been a fan of his as an audiophile going back to his days at The Absolute Sound and as a National Defense...

    Roon vs eero: One Solution

    I recently moved to Atlanta and had an Eero network installed throughout the house (7 eeros as well as 2 hardlined ethernet). It took a lon time to get the eero sorted out and ultimately it didn't play well with my server. It is a terrible rf polluter as well. We ended up removing 2 eeros and...

    One Man's Dream - Ken Fritz Documentary

    I would love to read this but it's behind a paywall. I was very sorry to find out he passed away.

    LDMS Server

    Thanks much for the insight. They have had incoming power since I installed them. I've also kept the server playing because I figure it draws more current that way, maybe not but no harm. I know it's better than the stock fuse though I will swap them out again. Upon install it sounded really...

    LDMS Server

    It would be a PITA but I could. Given that the fuse it replaced is a stock fuse it's hard to believe that it would be better than the purple. Maybe I need to swap the direction, but this is the direction the fuse sounded best in when I installed it. In my past experience with SR fuses you can...

    LDMS Server

    Quick update on the SR purple fuse burn-in for anyone that's still interested, LOL. Listened briefly last night (75 hrs burn-in) and it sounded like it's getting better. Listened tonight (100hrs) and it was meh again. I think I'll just let it go for a few days. I guess it bounces back and...

    More Consensus That Streaming Is An Inferior Format & Not High End?

    I wouldn't hold my breath for that. When I moved to Atlanta I hired a tech guy to install a network here (and outdoor system/home theater). He said this job was basically a mid-level job for him and that his typical install starts at $100k. He's been doing for this 10 years and he told me...

    LDMS Server

    Based upon all the recommendations I installed a purple fuse in my new LDMS power supply. I waited about 6 hours to listen and it sounded very nice, a big upgrade on the stock fuse. Tonight, now about 28 hrs of burn-n, it sounds worse. Way to think and flat soundstage. I've experienced this...

    I live in U.S. I thought I recall Lucas telling me recently 5A for new PSU for 110V but if anyone knows for certain please chime in.

    LDMS Server

    I have the LaBoga cable between the server and the PS. I bought that when we upgraded my server from the original PS to the Farad. I haven't done anything with the fuse yet. I asked specifically about the power cable because Lucas said that the new PS is very sensitive to power cables...

    LDMS Server

    Hi Will. I just purchased an upgraded power supply from Lucas. We talked about your server (didn't know it was yours) but it was a little above what I wanted to spend though I do want to upgrade my now 3 year old server. I'm interested in seeing how the upgraded power supply works out in my...

    LDMS Server

    I spoke to Lucas at length today as he helped me get my server set up again after my move to Atlanta. I am ordering the new power supply as well and am thinking about updating the entire server. There is a one box solution with the new server that sounds interesting. There can never be enough...

    Greetings from Atlanta, Ga

    Thanks very much Buck. I didn't know that's where Jim Smith was. When I just googled him it came up with UK location. I will have 2 main 2-channel rooms. One is about 13x14 and will house a pair of Tocaro 42e speakers (& prob Zu subs) and custom 211 amps. Not a huge room but the Tocaros...
