Rick Derringer R.I.P
Oh man, what a memory I have of those days. Johnny and Edgar Winter, Rick Derringer. Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo 1973. Played that record till the grooves wore out. RIP Rick.    
The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype
The earth is flat. Anyone can see that with one’s own eyes. If I don’t want to believe in all the ways it can be described that the earth is a globe I don’t have to. In the end “anyone is free to believe what they will” and still walk on the earth... 
Bluesound node confusion
I have had several versions of the Bluesound Node over the years. Original Node, Vault, Node 2, Node X and I would buy the Icon without hesitation. I think with the level of customer service, dedication to the Bluesound family of streamers and gre... 
What is the most overlooked consideration?
Very interesting and thought provoking answers. It’s a way the Audiogon forum can actually help, by sharing ideas, solutions and opinions. It is possible that threads do not have to be filled with arrogance and personal attacks. For those who have... 
Anyone interested in an audio get together in Northest Ohio?

Anyone interested in an audio get together in Northest Ohio?
CSM It’s great to hear from you, been awhile. Hope life is treating you well. I don’t think it would be a problem to create another seat. The next session will be planned in June and I can keep you in the loop. Your experience will be a treat for...

Well we have had our second audio listening session and milpai was the host this round. I can say it was another great time listening to truly marvelous equipment and milpai was accommodating and gracious. Thanks milpai! I kept thinking about the ... 
What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you?
@bolong “It's called the "pantywad effect." Unwad your panties by any means colorful and distracting.” That may be the stupidest comment I have ever read on Audiogon.  
Should I buy another flat screen now while they are still relatively cheap?
@texasblues1959  Are you really @jerry123 and @hifiworld2024 ? That is fascinating. To the OP. Your concerns are valid. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the US is not getting shipping containers at the ports. If somebody knows w... 
Anyone have a Roon Nucleus One? Your experience positive or negative?
"Would you say that having the Rose 130 after the Nucleus One improves the sound, or is that just the way it all worked out? I really like that Rose 130, but if the Nucleus One can sound similar going to my DAC, I may have to get over the beautifu... 
Should I buy another flat screen now while they are still relatively cheap?
I think that costs on anything electronic will go up, particularly those components in the US made with parts overseas (and that is almost everything). Some companies will be legitimate in passing the cost of the “t” word to the buyer, others will... 
Anyone have a Roon Nucleus One? Your experience positive or negative?
Yes you are correct the Roon does everything the Rose does. I bought the Nucleus to try Roon and consolidate my music from different sources and because I like the sound of the Rose just really not the user software as much.   
Upgraded or lateral streamer move with YouTube connectivity
HiFi Rose RS 130. It has RoseTube, which is like YouTube but designed to play high quality music found on video. Very nice.  
Sound quality differences in streamers
The point may be mute. You buy the streamer you like or the one you can afford and be happy. Same as cars, houses, or anything really. The ones and zeros are probably not important. If you are happy with WiiM... great. If you are happy with Blueso... 
How Much to Spend on Turntable, Cart., Phono Pre
My rig came out like this; Turntable with tonearm (VPI) was 55% Cartridge (Soundsmith) was 32.5% Phono Preamp (Pro-Ject) was 12.5% My first entry back into analog in about 35 years. I am more than pleased with outcome or sound signature.
