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. -
To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?
At home now. Just checked : both Melco and Nds are set to DHCP. i really feel the switch is faulty. The dealer is ready to make an exchange, if we don’t find the resolution of this problem. -
To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?
I feel we don’t understand each other as to the places and connecting to the switches. i am active on the Naim forum and there are many Melco and Nd555 users. Be it Dark Bear, Steve, ...they use generally the ER connected to their router. From the ER they connect the Melco and from the Melco... -
To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?
Hi, thanks for the reply. i have also the Etheregen and all is working fine. I can connect the Nds and Melco to the ER or Nds to Melco ( player port) and Melco to ER, and all is working fine. The app finds in 1 second my Nds and then the library on my Melco. i tried both connections with the... -

To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?
It’s not sorted out because I can use only the remote of my streamer and see the albums and files on the little screen. But the app doesn’t work. -
To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?
There’s a bit more authority and bass, but maybe a bit more in your face vs the ER/ linear ps. but unfortunately I feel it has a default and I will have to send it back ( impossibilty to use the app). i will however wait until a few days more to see how better it is. If the difference is enough... -
To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?
I had the ER/ Farad 3 then ER/ MCRU pinnacle. For my tastes, I still preferred the Melco connected to the ER and Nds directly connected to the Melco player port. But the Nds connected to the ER was very close. as you I have limited technical knowledge, so can’t explain why. I feel it’s not... -
To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?
normally, the direct ethernet connection with Nds and Melco is: Melco, lan port connected to the switch and Melco player lan port connected to the Nds/ Nd555. it’s what I have now, and also before. The Innuos, or Etheregen before, connected to the router. the second possibility is: Switch... -
To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?
The problem is when I connect the Nds and Melco to the Innuos, it doesn’t work. What you suggest is to consider the Melco as the first switch, and the Innuos as the second switch. The problem is that the Melco will be connected to the noisy router and the Nds still to Innuos. why don’t you... -
To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?
I haven’t thought of that possibility. If I connect the Melco out, it’s the player port. so you suggest to connect the player port to the Innuos, then from Innuos to Nds? I can try this evening. But don’t know if I have enough length of cable.... -

To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?
I had the ER before ( still but disconnected now) and all was working. if my Melco and Nds are connected to the Phoenix, it‘s written « no network « on the Nds screen. but if the Nds is connected to the Melco player switch, I can play my music on the Melco using my Nds remote. But not the... -
To switch or not to switch? Melco S-100 or Innuos Phoenix NET switch?
Hi guys, i received the PhoenixNet today. but connecting problems : I first connected the Innuos to the router, with the input deserved for it ( in). Then connected the Naim Nds to the Phoenix and my Melco ( Nas) to the Phoenix : my Nds says » no network « . I rebooted all, first the router... -
Natural Sound
I feel the « contrary « works too, because I heard Lamm electronics driving Kharma and Focal speakers with wonderful results ( with the 18w Lamm tubes) . Apparently Lamm can drive high efficiency speakers and normal efficiency too, which is not a common reality for other amps in the market. IMO- Frenchrooster
