OCD mickey website and negativity.
He knows a lot about things technically and very familiar with the industry. Not sure how someone can do a live show so frequently. I don’t think he’s succeeding with his efforts to be a disruptor.   I think he needs to revisit the core of what ... 
Is it the gear or the ears?
@bjpd57a1  What part of the Army are you in? What led you to making your very first post? And it is quite a post  
Is it the gear or the ears?
Very interesting read but none of this comes as a surprise. Lots of common sense. Very similar to getting married to a supermodel and the luster soon wears off. It's a pain in the ass to buy new audio gear. It's too damn heavy and you really don... 
Who is Roon?
@effischer  My gosh you're going through a lot of agony with all these details.  roon and I think immigration may be worth monthly basis and come to terms with how you feel about it before going for a Life commitment. Marriage provides the same ... 
Who is Roon?
The ability to access a folder from a Microsoft desktop with roon and dealing with the folders within the nucleus that serves as the host for roon software is challenging and if you have problems god help you. You can launch a question into the fo... 
Who is Roon?
@thecarpathian  Thank you very helpful comment.  It would also be nice if they could stream Netflix maybe the sound would be better.  Glad to hear it's a homegrown entity providing a platform for us to infiltrate others abroad.

What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds?
@atmasphere  Pretty damn awesome response. Very helpful. Would love to see a picture of your system I bet it's fascinating and maybe there's a lot of commentary about your system here somewhere  
HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ?
@ghdprentice I support you in using cables and interconnects made by Transparent. I also use their power cords in order. Cables tend to color the sound for better or worse. This is a factual comment. There is considerable creativity in making c... 
Vacuum Tube Preamp for Solid State Power Amp Pairing
I was close to getting a VTL pre amplifier but customer service was a huge problem. Not very friendly out there in California who make this.  
Qualified service technicians disappearing! Recommendations wanted
Technicians with tube expertise are declining, and it’s mostly due to poor compensation related to warranties servicing from manufacturers. I spoke to a guy in New York City who is retiring and there’s no one there to take his place so he’s closin... 
Would you rent a $14,000 DAC for $75 per day?
I think the premise of this is horrifying. So you have $100,000 worth of gear sitting around and that means you’re foregoing about five grand a year in interest income. So the $5000 Plus the hundred thousand dollars is what it cost to occasional... 
Trends in value of vintage / used audio equipment?
I think this conversation would be interesting related to speakers. Clearly higher speakers are incredibly overpriced as demonstrated by a used market which prices them at 50% of list after two or three years. And this is from a dealer who no dou... 
What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds?
amidst all of these really good comments there were no comments from people who actually build amplifiers that I could see. It would seem to me an amplifier designer is putting together an amplifier he would need to choose between lots of parts t... 
Audiohifistore.com is a SCAM
They have lots of great products posted on their website. The price look pretty good. Hard to believe this is a scam it looks pretty good to me. But I would never ever ever buy gear located in a foreign country.  Although if done through eBay and...
