Looking for advice - Debugging an unexpected music shut down
So many people using Roon they ran out of bandwith? Couldn’t send you the bit stream? These data transfer systems have limits (cell phones, internet, etc.). There is such a thing as too many people using the service (try making an interstate cell ... 
Another marketing gimmick?
I'll wager you could put the metronome inside a tube and it would stop that annoying "ticking" sound!

How good can it get, really? - my stereo sounds amazing!
asvjerry - I agree, the Super Chicken cartoons are pretty lame but the intro just cracks me up "buc buc buc buc!". Give me Firesign Theater and my favorite condiment... 
BEST SPEAKERS AT A REASONABLE PRICE
From what I’ve read, Tekton owns this segment. But can’t go wrong with KEF, B&W, etc. Also, Tannoy has a new tower for $1100 that looks very interesting.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYuQnZbVeawHNY! 
Two Nice Small Tweaks to Klipsch Forte III Loudspeakers
The first thing I said to myself, auditioning Forte IIIs, is I would raise them up about eight inches. Railroad ties? granite slab? Sealed box filled with sand? 
Why did Parasound discontinue the Halo JC-1 monoblock amplifiers?
I think it’s a healthy thing to discontinue a model after ten years or so. At least, change a few parts and call it the "Mk II’. Nobody wants to purchase a used in-production model that may be twenty years old (the BAT VK-300 integrated amp was ma... 
Forever speakers around $5000
"I found some of the upper level B&W speakers a bit too bright in the highs and fatiguing." They said the same thing about Thiel speakers. I've owned both and what is true: If you use crappy electronics with these speakers, they will sound cra... 
Were you naughty or nice? What did Santa bring you! Audio related only please!
An Orren Ellis geometric lighted doorbell (the doorbell not the push-button). Damn thing won't light up even after installing a required resistor.Oh, Audio related? a sweet Polk 12 inch subwoofer to fill out the bottom on my home-theater system. $... 
What is a Servo Tonearm?
When I hear "servo tonearm" I think about this model:https://www.vinylengine.com/library/denon/dp-51f.shtmlNever heard it but it looks cool... 
Forever speakers around $5000
I'd look at Revel F206 or keep saving and get some B&W 804D3s (used price around $6000). 
Me vs. JL Audio - An open discussion.
Having never used (or heard) a JL subwoofer, based on reviews, I held them in high regard. That is, until someone (on this site) claimed they used some cheap part internally that had a high failure rate and required shipping back to the factory fo... 
Harsh High Frequencies on Speakers
Glad you found a solution! 
B&W ASW610 subwoofer burned out twice now
I heard that Class-D amps have to work extra hard with smaller drivers (like your 10 incher). A bigger cone more efficiently produces the low frequencies so you amp has an easier load.  
Need advice
I saw this "Uncle Kevin" video yesterday. The Tannoy towers he's touting cost "only" $1100. They look very interesting. Regardshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYuQnZbVeaw
