| Ether Regen and AfterDark Master Clock @troidelover1499 may I suggest you start by feeding the Etherregen from a good PSU? In my case that is the first big step. On a resolving system upgrading the clock has major benefits but is obviously significantly more expensive. I reclock both... | |
| USB cable In my experience keeping the cable as short as possible while separating the 5v DC line is the starting point. After that it’s down to single core and treating the connectors with Acoustic Revive or Mad Scientist contact enhancer. Depending on the... | |
| Townshend or MuRata Supertweeters? Thoughts? I have been using Murata ES103As for 20 years and wouldn’t part with them for anything. | |
| Sound quality of Roon @sns, more computer power means more digital artefacts and more noise. There is a school of thought that in digital less is more. | |
| Sound quality of Roon It seems to me reading all of this that the computational power required for full Roon implementation is per se detrimental to good sound quality. Hence the need for separating the (noisy) core and the clean end point. Other than the associated co... | |

| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? Best I know he left the decision to his wife and son, he himself called LPs ‘pancakes’ all his life | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? Yep, most are though live performances and he didn’t like them in his lifetime | |
| Who is your Favorite Historical Conductor? …and then there is Celibidache. Few recordings but if you’ve heard him live you’ll remember | |
