The J3455 was returned to Amazon. Currently the 3050 and 3160 are both streamers, I just interchange the Volumio SSD between them. When this round of comparisons is complete, I will then rebuild one as a NAS and compare with LSNAS.

Here it is: N3050N-D2P vs N3160N-D3V. The newer board has been run in continuously for about 100 hours. Both have 8GB memory (although 4GB vs 8GB may be a moot point if Volumio is running in 32 bit - I haven't checked). 1. https://www.dropbox.com/s/8bwl6hsx42zwxje/20181014_173633.mp4?dl=0 2. https:/...

Yes! When I moved from Naim to Linn amps, the music seemed to relax and have more space to breathe. I found this led to less listening fatigue. Now with Lejonklou there is yet more "space to breathe" combined with greater emotional expression and better timing. Judged quickly, it's easy to miss this...

If you do that in 2 x 4gb modules you can discover that too.... :)

Initial impressions are: go for 8gb...

Obviously not! So I bought another 4gb anyway. Yes, it makes a difference....

Wow David, 27 years with Kans! We call that 'sweating the asset' in my line of work. I call it poverty! It was supposed to be 12 months until Isobariks were affordable.... but seriously, I took about five years of trying different speakers before at last choosing 109s to replace the Kans. The probl...

Difficult because I know which is which, but there is just something very musical about Kans - which I had for 27 years.

It is paradoxical that the word "science" is so often used to support entrenched positions and dismiss or deny observations which do not fit into that person's current understanding. Such thinking is antithetical to science itself, which is about new discoveries and expanding knowledge. This is what...

Does anybody have any views on the size of memory? 4mb vs 8mb?

My N3160N-D3V arrived today, and is already in use. First impressions are good, possibly better than first impressions of my N3050N-D2P, which has improved significantly with burn-in. Further impressions and clips after a proper burn-in.

PM me if you are interested in the N3160N-D3V.

I think dealers will have to up their game. The forum provided a lot of support for people on things like networks as well as the various upgrades available. I will be loathe to sign up for this new web based stuff, pins, so2, without the comfort of having the collective knowledge of the forum avai...

Where is the announcement? I'm just getting the old message....

And yes, as crass as Brexit.

Emails went out yesterday. If you haven't received one, please check your spam filter, and if it's still missing, PM me. I've had a report that the paypal link isn't working for one person, but others have successfully paid. At the bottom of the email is also a link to pay by credit card. Please pay...

And there was I hoping to be told something I couldn't work out for myself....

So what is the new image in the News section of the website?

Seems I was a bit previous. But within 24 hours now. You will all need to supply a phone number for delivery as the carrier requires this. I just paid for mine....

I found it hard to distinguish with just the intro, but the voice is more tuneful in 2.

Well, your decision looms! Emails will be going out later today, I believe. I've just had another conversation with the supplier and very cordially let him know my reading of the rules, and he has in turn talked this morning with both his accountant and the distributor, who have both advised him tha...

One of my initial observations was a "thinness" or "delicacy" to the sound. At one point this could also be heard as a slight pitch instability or poor timing. For whatever reason (there have been other changes in my system) this has now disappeared and after a month or so of intermittent use it sou...

I'm both staggered and disappointed by this inability to remove the VAT - and I have supplied exactly these bits of HMRC advice. I will make one final phone call in the morning to try to reason with them for the third time....

UPDATE: The N3160N-D3V motherboards are now in stock. You will be contacted via email addresses you have provided, to arrange credit card or paypal payments. I expect this to happen tomorrow. Despatch will follow cleared payment. 1. UK deliveries will be subject to postage of <£10. 2. EU deliveries ...

I upgraded ADS/1 to ADS/3, I didn't need the DSM functionality AND wanted the best-sounding option. It also gives me the option of Urika II to replace my Urika I. I will retain it until I have compared Urika II with Fredrik's imminent(?) MC stage. If at that point I choose Urika II I will keep it. I...

I have an Akurate DS/1 now which was supposed to be upgraded to Katalyst ... I am still in the money finding phase to do the upgrade but now I heard the DS line is sunset. So I am asking myself now is it wise to still upgrade it or should I better look for other options. I upgraded to Katalyst abou...
