| Why would I need Roon? @djones now that you bring sound quality into it I am a bit more motivated and I'm not that uncomfortable with installing software or running it. I tried audirvana on my Mac and thought it sounded better. | |
| Why would I need Roon? Thanks soundchasr. Pi sounds like an interesting direction. | |
| Why would I need Roon? @soundchsr OP - I believe you can run Roon on your PC and then use the Node2i as the endpoint. That way the PC does all the work but the endpoint is away from the noise of the PC so it should sound better (in theory, according to Roon).I have a f... | |
| Why would I need Roon? Just confirmed what @jaytor said. I cannot make do with just my Bluesound Node2i. I’d still need a PC server running soon. A Node2i does not run the Roon “Core” application."Roon is a server and client based system so always requires the core serv... | |
| Favorite song to demo or test drive speakers? There are a lot of great songs here -- I just threw a couple up without much bothering to say *why* I use them. Without saying why, it just seems like I'm telling you about my favorite songs, and that wasn't the OP's gist.So, here's a good one, wi... | |
| Why would I need Roon? Thanks for the additional information.I’m probably being cranky because I feel like every time I turn around there’s another *subscription* on my visa bill, and this adds on top of other services. Ok, got that off my chest — I’m very prickly when ... | |

| Why would I need Roon? @djones. Good to know. I only recently bought the Node so I’m feeling squeamish about ditching it yet. | |

| Why would I need Roon? Ok...finding new music...I hadn’t thought I needed that, but an interesting angle. Information on tracks is a an important plus. | |

| Power Conditioners @foster_9 Thanks for the suggestion. I'll save it for future reference. Much appreciated. | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? Thanks, deCooney. The capability of the mono 60s was what convinced me to get them over the mid monos (40s) and some other good tube stuff — and so it startled me to think that even by spending that much more, they would still not be capable.I lov... | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? @clhs04 Point taken. Another person is also pointing out how different the better Klipsch are — I recognize (thanks to you both) that I need to understand things differently. Gotcha.It's interesting to hear that the QS 60w Monos won't be enough to... | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? @clhs04 Thanks so much for your post. I have some lower priced Klipsch RP 600M's and they are so easy to drive. I don't think these speakers are right for my listening area — they're kicking butt in my home theater, but their mids and highs leave ... |
