| What do you think of soundbars compared to speakers? The only soundbar I know that sounds ok by hi-fi standards is Naim Muso.I have one in my office. I'm using it as an all in one solution. | |
| Rubidium Clock Thanks. I went ahead and ordered the UPOCXO-01-SSSS clock for my friend. We will try it with his Vivaldi stack, on top of the Vivaldi clock.If it goes well, he may consider the UPOCXO-RK01-OP17 Ultra model, which is triple the price, but also offe... | |
