To Roon or not to Roon?
Love Roon and the latest update is simply awesome.  Just a dream to use and to organize my music. Never had a single problem or glitch.  I use mine with an Innuos Zenith and they play well together.  
Some interesting stats from Discogs
Funny how folks just argue for the medium they are most comfortable with. They all can sound great when optimized. Just enjoy your music in the manner that you are most comfortable with. I happen to stream because today’s streaming gear and techno... 
whathifi - viinyl revenue overtakes cds for the first time since 1986
Streaming is the reason.  Kissed my CDs good buy and love all the music available to me now. Streaming sound quality is improving by the month with all the new innovation in this space. Listening to all kinds of new artists that would have never b...

I just added the Network Acoustics USB cable and to say I am impressed is a huge understatement.  Easily the finest USB cable I have heard in my system.  Their products are world class and a great find for those of us with streaming front ends.  G... 
Accidentally left hot terminal jumper in place when bi-wiring. Damage potential?
May sound better.   
Update on Audiogon Member Almarg
I so miss his comments here on the Gon. We would do well to mimic his kind and professional manner here. He was the perfect example of how posters should handle themselves here. A gem of a person!  
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
To make things more confusing several of us use 2 - 12 gauge Neotech on the live of our power cords. I use this for amps, preamps, and conditioners. I use 2-14 gauge Neotech live conductors on all else. None of it stripped for the power cords.That... 
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
Here Are my impressions after working with both the Neotech wire and the VH audio wire with the Teflon insulation in tact. I find the Neotech wire to be warmer, bigger soundstage, and slightly better dynamics. I am a sucker for a big stage and war...

How did you “order” them if I may ask? I assume you mean you are going to build them?  
Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO...
Yes the ENO filter is right before the Innuos server.  The EE 8Switch was added first and I really liked it on its own.  Better than the SOTM switch I sold and better than the EtherRegen.  The ENO after the 8Switch really was the game changer. The... 
Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling
Multiple 18 gauge simply does not sound as good in power cords as we have been there and done that. Not in the Helix design. Not even close in our listening tests. Same is true with ICs and speaker cables using the Helix design. Multiple 22 gauge ...

Hi Alex.  I also sold my EtherRegen.  In ENO sounded best and by a good margin in my system. Hooking the EtherRegen ahead of the ENO in series did not sound nearly as good as the ENO alone

Yes, I have to agree that shows Rich at Network Acoustics is a man of integrity.   
What capacitor would you use to upgrade Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary?
I have used all the caps you have mention plus many more in my builds, mods and upgrades for me and others. The VH Audio Odams are special and easily rise to the top of the list.  They will deliver significant improvement and please you greatly.  ... 
The indisputable benefit of fiber for music
I have tried optical and gone down the Uptone EtherRegen route. Not a bad solution and definitely improved sound quality. However with the introduction of the Network Acoustics ENO filter and silver ethernet cable I found the best sounding streami...
