Room Treaments - Where To Begin...
GIK is good, but I finally gave up on an order that was going on three months! Be prepared to wait. Ended up buying from other sources that could fill the order. Hopefully things will get better for them. I ordered diffusion panels.  Better to tre... 
Fyne F703...anyone owns the ?
I purchased them new. The 703 & 704 differ pretty significantly from the 702 in the tweeter and other areas. They are more refined sounding and the ”presence” is toned back a notch. No hint of shout or being bright with the 704. They are very ... 
RIP oregonpapa
Oh my this is so sad and surprising. Wonderful man and contributor. My sympathies to his family. He will be missed by us all.   
Two of the most powerful words ever
Agreed and my way of operating.  Must learn by trying and doing!

Oh yes. Beautiful synergy with these 96db efficient music makers.  Perfect combo. I feel so fortunate!   
DIY Replacing Components in Crossovers
Some say they don’t matter or matter as much. I find they really do and are in fact in the signal path. If one doubts that, then remove the parallel cap and listen 🤓. Yes, you can save money here and not get the very best. If it’s an electrolytic,... 
Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story?
Do yourself a favor and trial a Circle Labs A200 integrated  hybrid. Purity of tone and beautiful tone await you. The design is both unique and smart. Parts count is minimal with short circuit paths.  A special unit.    
The easiest way to solder multi pin connector?
If you want to do this right, then get the desoldering gun in the link below. Trying to use a manual solder sucker or braid can be difficult and leads to mishaps.  This desoldering gun makes easy work of it. If you plan to desolder more in the fut... 
Fyne F703...anyone owns the ?
Yes,  150 pounds each. They have tremendous bass and dynamics when called for. Play classical better than any speaker I have heard. Play all genre of music with equally stellar results. Want to rock? Goodness these can rock. Want beautiful vocals ... 
Roon Streaming Service actually Degrades the sound
That is great news! Thanks for the heads up.    
When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you?
What graphs? Most speaker builders don’t share any such graphs.  Many speakers don’t get reviewed by folks who list all the graphs and test data. So with many, actually most speaker models, you will never see any data beyond the standard spec stuf... 
Roon Streaming Service actually Degrades the sound
Innuos’s own Sense sounds better than Roon on my Zenith 3. Much better.  I also just learned Roon sounds just OK. I love the features and such of Roon, but the sound could be better.   
Fyne F703...anyone owns the ?
I have the F704s with some 15 hours on them. Thus far I am thrilled with these speakers. The midrange presence is uncanny. Fulsome and full bodied bass coupled with balanced highs. A fun speaker with a large and expansive stage filled with richly ... 
750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference
We should better understand this as one was better only in terms of subjective sonic preferences and system synergy. The system and owner ears/preferences wanted more full bodied warmth. His comments clearly said this. In audio, nothing is ever un... 
Crossover help?
Are the parts point to point wired or circuit board? If board, you may have a lifted solder pad, possible short to ground plane etc… please let us know. Pics would help greatly. .
