Serious question - how many of have our M Scalers out of sight? Mine is on auto input so it’s tucked away out of sight. I’m thinking of doing the same with TT2.
Keep it in sight, get mesmerized by the glowy balls. Otherwise what’s the point?? Remember it needs space to cool, case is a heat sink so putting it inside something or little area for the heat to dissipate is asking for overheating issues to occur. You spent good money on this box, why hide it?Serious question - how many of have our M Scalers out of sight? Mine is on auto input so it’s tucked away out of sight.

Yeah, I’m certainly not thinking of putting it anywhere enclosed.Keep it in sight, get mesmerized by the glowy balls. Otherwise what’s the point??

You can also just close your eyes and dream far away from it being lost in your music..Yeah, I’m certainly not thinking of putting it anywhere enclosed.
@Reactcore IMHO the best possible approach that allows you to gain even more than just purity and fidelity in audio signal pathYou can also just close your eyes and dream far away from it being lost in your music..
You do have a point regarding heat dissipation, but I did NOT buy mine to look at it.Keep it in sight, get mesmerized by the glowy balls. Otherwise what’s the point??

To me it is a delicate balance between looking at problems to fix and then letting loose again to (hopefully) enjoy listening even more. But if it makes you stressed don’t do it. Especially listening tests are near impossible if you cramp up over little details as everything sounds harsh when stressed.I think we obsess over things like RFI and other stuff that we may hear artifacts that may not even be there. At some point you have to let go and just enjoy the music. I think finding new music to enjoy is key.
A point well made. I have to admit that although I do not like watching them , and the weird orbs they project onto my white ceiling if not dimmed, a few years ago when my Mscaler a few times sounded harsh and a bit hard, all I had to do was stand up from my listening chair and "glance over" to see that the reason was that it had inexplicably started up without full 1M taps setting.The glowing balls are a great Chord feature. They tell you info at a glance from across the room. Try that with some of the tiny displays on other equipment.
I would second that.I would recommend some support for those Wave cables so they aren’t putting all that pressure on the BNC connections.
What improvements are we talking about.It is an improvement, but some people need time to get us to and appreciate M-Scaler. But it is impossible to live without it after you are used to it.
