I outsourced vinyl cleaning to PVF. Problem solved. ---

I always appreciated how the DSD Sr. and Jr. are so pleasing to listen to. My newest Jr sounds amazing in my big rig. The Grimm MU1 is pure magic. And endgame piece if there ever was one. My gear comes from Denmark, South Africa, and Japan. In a while Germany gets added to the list. All my cables come from the USA though. ---

I owe it to myself to hear a Grimm MU1, possibly after Axpona when things settle down around these parts. ---

No, I havenā€™t. Honestly I donā€™t know why, I just havenā€™t. I run it through a Hegel P30. ---

If you go to Georgeā€™s to listen leave your CCā€™s at home or you might have a loaded trunk when you leave. I got my DHL shipping notice from Jays and the CDT3 should land on Monday the 25th if no Customs delays. Still got some time to go before the Spring 3 KTE so it will start out via AES to the Aqua. ---

If I can, I will try tomorrow. Itā€™s not terribly difficult. Itā€™s going to sound great. I canā€™t imagine why it wouldnā€™t. ---

Thatā€™s awesome. I am old enough to know the phrase, but never heard/read anyone use an acronym for it. Now weā€™d get in trouble for saying ā€œoldā€. Perhaps itā€™s Little Twilight Lady (LTL)? BTW - Welcome to the Forum. Itā€™s wild in here! ---

> [@bootzilla](#): > > As far as DAC sonics are concerned, I believe that associated equipment, room acoustics and oneā€™s hearing all play a critical role in which DAC sounds best in a particular system. In other words, there is no one DAC which works best for everyone. I think this is very true, and can only think that it plays a major part in peoplesā€™ fondness for the Pontus, particularly in comparison to the PS DACs. Synergy plays a larger part in the DAC equation than I had imagined. If it was the best DAC youā€™ve ever owned, then I totally get it. I do think it is a great value. However, when I read of people losing their minds over the Pontus and selling a PS, I often have to wonder how or if any direct comparison was done prior to the sale. As opposed to the usual selling of one and then putting the proceeds toward getting another. In my case, I listened to it for two weeks, and heard lots of the things people were going on about. It was surprising and different. My friends were saying, ā€œSo, should I buy one?ā€ and I kept saying that I wasnā€™t sure, as Iā€™d not gone back to the PS DAC. When I did (in this case a Jr.) it was clearly better for me, in my system. YMMV. [Previous page](https://forum.psaudio.com/t/denafrips-pontus2/28679.md?page=1)
