Hi Brian,
So I am in a very similar position to you are in terms of streaming considerations. I have a 4 box Vivaldi and currently just going through my Upsampler / Mosaic to stream Qobuz and Tidal.
I have recently replaced my router with a better one (Draytek) and have ordered a proper power...
Looking to purchase a few for my new 4k player on my home cinema system. Normally listen to jazz, soul, female vocals.
Anyone have recommendations or better still have some to sell. Would consider anything that is well produced, both sound and visual.
thanks
Marc.
No such issues with the Momentum HD - infact you realise what the bass is meant to sound like - much more controlled, which is what you would kind of expect from solid state compared to valve.
So I spent considerable time doing the demo with the Momentum HD preamp. I always said I would never sell my Ref40 (I hear you laughing now, why would any audiophile say 'I would never buy another piece of equipment!), however it really is a massive step up in terms of performance. Infact mine...
Amazing system. Out of interest are you contemplating changing the preamp to either the Momentum HD or the new Relentless matching one out shortly?
I was using the Ref 40 with my M400's but am in the process of changing to the Momentum HD.
Marc.
So I would say a definite improvement and for the cost relative to the equipment were worth doing. Better black levels is probably the most obvious gain

Hi,
Has anyone experimented changing the synergistic research blue fuses to orange in a DCS Vivaldi full stack?
I currently have the blue ones but thinking about changing the 4 out to orange.
Thanks
Marc.
Lol, yes I am aware what you use in your system .
I was wondering if anyone else had tried the new orange ones in the Vivaldi. I run US plugs so not fused at that end

Anymore updates on the below. Do you know if it is part of the line or all of the line:
dCS Vivaldi system was launched in 2012. After 8 years, dCS will launch a new flagship series very soon. Rumor is this year, but given the current pandemic, the launch will probably be delayed.
Thanks

So I used to use StillPoints in my system however recently took them out since I have a new Artesania rack which made a massive difference. The clock is actually sitting on a VertexAQ platform on the rack since the new rack doesn't have shelves and the unit is too small to reach the carbon...
Hi,
So I managed to demo a Ref-10 with my full Vivaldi stack, and as stated above, it is a no brainer. The difference with using the external clock was not subtle, a significant improvement.
I decided to wait for the Ref-10 SE120 version which I received nearly 2 weeks ago now. I was told to...
