| Turn off or leave on? I turn everything off before I go to bed and turn everything on in the morning. I pass my equipment on the way to the coffee pot.😁 JD | |
| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s @mrskeptic While the kit comes with three different size studs and nuts, they did not fit my KEF speakers for two different reasons.

| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s @bdp24, Following your plan would definitely save a bunch of money and I have the shop to build what I would need. I have another week on the Gaia’s, so I could go that route. @$560, that would definitely be a large savings. Thanks for the tip. ... | |
| First impressions of the Isoacoustic Gaia 1’s Gosh, I sound like a Shill, but I guarantee all , that no one gave these to me! JD | |

| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm, Maybe I missed it, but what is the battery for in the 5? All the best. JD | |
| Roon/Bluesound Node - adding new DAC (non Roon-Ready) I don’t have Roon yet, but I thought Roon endpoint was all you had to worry about. My Hegel H390 should be Roon ready soon and then I’ll be more in the know. All the best. JD | |
| Pink Floyd’s brand new song Boy was I excited to hear something new from Pink Floyd. And for a cause, so very apropos. Oh and @stereo5, Jeff Bezos was good enough to give away McKenzie Scott and she so far has given away almost $4 billion so far. 😁 | |
