Well today the new Arcam AVR20 arrived. I have already unboxed it and set it on the shelf in my rack. Later on I will get it hooked up...The Gear...

I’m going to start a new thread for it but I have the AVR 20 in and playing it sounds pretty damn good for being right straight out of the box with no break in. I can only imagine it’s gonna get better from here provided it still worksThe Gear...

I listened Wednesday night for a few hours. I enjoyed what I heard but I know there is more to come. The 4.1 pro didn't really start to open up until about 100 hours. The rig has been sitting for 6 weeks and the unit is fresh off the bench.
I turned it on just a bit ago playing an internet radio station and will plan to listen tomorrow at some point.
Will update!- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
Thanks man. Keep us posted broskizzle.

I will say that what you described single handily destroyed my desire to play video games.
I did try game pass recently and that seemed to work alot better
I mean, there was some hyperbole about what I said. If game pass didn’t seem too bad, I say trust your own experience, and enjoy video games.CD Players: Sony CDP-211; Sony DVP-S9000ES; Sony UDP-X800M2 (x2); Cambridge Audio CXC

Nah man...
OH... I want to play a video game.
Turn on Xbox, downloads update that take 45 minutes. Sweet!
Put in halo master chief collection... Update its 112 gb... Estimated download time is 1 day.
Yep, don't want to play anymore!
Game pass has no updates for the games since they are streamed off a server- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -

Today I tried putting the original rubber feet back on my SVS ultra 16. I had it spiked which worked great on my old 18'' sub. The ultra apparently goes much deeper and will make the cd player skip occasionally and I can't use it all with my tt.

So, rotated the bnc cable in versus USB. On the other dac the USB cable worked better but the BNC on this one is talking much much better to the Lumin U1.
Waking up now! Incredible image weight and staging!- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
I can say with some certainty that imaging weight is profoundly better than the 4.1 and the 4.1 was no slouch. The weight of everything is tangible- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Lol, I'll have to check it out.
My experiences with digital cables does not appear to be similar to others. I would say there is a definite hand shake that takes place with a DAC and just because sound comes out does NOT mean it is working right. I don't know if it is a jitter/timing thing but I encourage everyone to try multiple different types of digital cables. You may be surprised about the differences between a USB, BNC, Coax, AES, etc. Now the differences between one cable to the other with the same connectors? Eh haven't heard much differences.- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
The new Archetype 5.0 as well as the new Vincent PHO-300 phono pre-. Very happy with my “purchases.” Credit card rewards are nice.Things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out.-John Wooden
