| Sound quality of Roon Hey @wsrrsw @blisshifi ! We should visit each other! I've gone big in most areas, but limited my switch (ahem so far) to the Silent Angel Bonn 8. I power it off the 'other rail' of my HDPlex (the other rail powers my Nucleus+). I have seen... | |
| Sound quality of Roon +1 @wsrrsw ! Have you tried a Network Acoustics Filter? I have the Muon, and it made more of an impact than the EtherRegen. | |
| Sound quality of Roon @SONICFANTASTIC: Thanks again @blisshifi for the explanation and the two factors you raise are imaging of the sound towards more life like and fatiguing peaks which I assume tends towards the higher end of the frequency response. Are others hea... | |
| Walk me thru upgrading from my BS Node Hello APoke33, I had just this journey. -Started with apple computer airplaying to apple TV to audio -upgraded to Bluesound Node...nice improvement -Added Roon Nucleus+ and bought lifetime subscription At one point, using Roon, I had Node in o... | |
| Best Dedicated Streamer Auralic Aries G2.1 (built in China, but great US support and service) Aurender, choices as per budget, Innuos, choices within budget as well. Then the more 'upscale' brands, Grimm (US?), Antipodes (Australia), Pink Faun Pay attention to the powe... | |
| Best Dedicated Streamer Do you use Roon? That is a primary decision I think, and will eliminate a few major contenders if you do. Having a Roon Streamer is a must for me. | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? Hi @Soix, I think I tried to say that. When i demo'd cables from the Cable Company I did not know much at all, and calling them, talking to them about my system, and then trying different companies was helpful. I returned them and tried others, ... | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? I agree @pinthrift that the Cable Company is good way to demo different cables. But it is not free or even cheap, and of course the incentive is to pick one of the ?few that you demo and use your rental credits. I did this and ended up picking A... | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? Hi @Soix and everyone. Interesting as always discussion with folks on each end and in the middle. I kind of come at the vinyl / digital issue from the fundamental end. I want to listen and hear the best reasonably (individual meaning of course)... | |
| Any favorites for cosmetics/design/how a product looks? For me the display must go completely dark. | |
| Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed? Hello @Robert1976, this is my second response to you so I may repeat some things. You have gotten many helpful responses and the expected skeptical ones as well. Recall I have Nucleus+ on my network and Tambaqui DAC with revealing SS electronic... | |
| Positioning B&W 802’s with spikes in hardwood? I would consider Isoacoustics Gaia feet. First use sliders to position, then remove the sliders and keep them on the Gaia's. | |
| My Major System Upgrades in 2022 and Impact of Each Wow @nyev! You have been busy! Congratulations and thanks for such a great summary. Your journey has been quite similar to mine, albeit a bit quicker! And it is fascinating in that while we each have upgraded almost identical components with ... | |
| Single vs Bi-wire Speaker Cable What I have learned is that it is actually the midrange that deserves the main cable. Now in almost all applications this means wire to the highs first, if you consider them high and low. In a true three way speaker it is wiring to the "mid and ... | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? I have both Carbon Limiteds and Carbon Specials in my two systems. Both are wonderful and are so much better than my previous Paradigm subs and many I have heard. I try to avoid the DSP. I get the word ONLY in where they are going. I said tha... |
