| Building a 2-channel audio system using Bowers & Wilson 800D3 speakers B and W speakers have always mated well with warm SS amps. Classe, AR, Parasound. When I upgraded my B and W 802N electronics I went from Classe to Audionet, andi it was stunning, so that means ignore previous comment! Audionet are not warm or ... | |
| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES Hello @rmdtexas ! Wow thanks!!! That is exactly what I was initially asking! Now I did the Roon update, selected prefer Qobuz, and selected rate MQA as below CD quality but above lossy. I would never have seen that, so very very much appreciat... | |
| Best Stereo Upgrade Value By far for me new amps. Upgrading from what I thought was an awesome and venerable Classe stereo amp (CA 2300)_ to Audionet Max monoblocks was eye and ear opening! | |
| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES This has been an awesome conversation and really expanded to not only file quality, but how to get the best out of our digital experience. As @ghdprentice nicely stated, with effort and improvements we can get amazing sound from digital. And yes,... | |
| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES Thanks @jjss49 i guess it is a feature request for Roon, to have a preference for which service to pick first. Roon will even default to a lower resolution Tidal version over a higher resolution Qobuz track. | |

| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES Totally agree jss49. I think I started the thread something like that…Now can Roon be set to point to Qobuz vs.Tidal by preference? [without eliminating Tidal]? It does seem to default to Tidal selections in Roon Radio. Happy 4th everyone! 🎇 | |

| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES On a side note, I learned that you can export your Roon playlists to Excel. My Nucleus crashed, and I was not able to recover from my backup due to 'corrupt database'. So I later learned that in addition to a back-up, it is good to export your p... | |
| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES Interesting responses thanks. I feel Qobuz definitely a bit better; most do. But I still value selections on Tidal which are not available on Qobuz. | |
| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES Thank you audiotroy for the suggestion of logging out of Tidal. I have replaced many favorites or playlist songs with Qobuz. Not all of my desired tracks are on Qobuz though... If I like the album, it is worth having Tidal for it. | |
| Basic switch....should I upgrade? Hi rsf507, I own the Silent AngelBonn 8 switch. It replaced my Netgear switch, which was operating properly. I power the Bonn 8 with my HDPLEX LPS. I bought the HDPLEX for my Nucleus+, and had a spare output so it was a no brainer to power the... | |
| low bass response H ijw944ts, I have Salon 2's and love them. My room is not perfect either. In spite of the Salon's bass extension, my big room needed more air pressure for the low bass. I added two REL Carbon Specials. They completely cary the very low end,... | |
| Nordost Cable Listed in Order of Importance I started with the Power Cables and thought they made the most difference. Especially on the power conditioner (had one then) and now the amps (direct to dedicated outlets). Everything helped as I finished interconnects and speaker cables. I hav... | |
| Subwoofer with Floorstanding Speakers? +1 knotscott! Two RELCarbon Limiteds with my floorstanders. Low and subtle, supports everything and visceral enjoyment. Turn them off and they are missed! |
