| Does anybody make... I'm not sure how this DIY project works without an active crossover. Marchand is the right call. Their X-overs can adjust gain into each channel and pass. | |
| a remarkably basic question about Roon My take on Roon is that they've developed some features and functions, and combinations thereof, that are unique and it's the best multi-zone music library software available. That said, it is also very buggy and flakey, and the Roon development ... | |
| Magnepan service shut down Magnepan has always had exemplary service. Can't promise it will be back, but if any company would bring it back, it would be them. I have needed them many times and they are a very quick response. Whatever is going on it must be severe, and let... | |
| Music Direct and my recent exoeriences I think you can actually visit Music Direct, albeit it is not exactly an audio showroom. They're all really nice there and they have their B stock up including vinyl returns. At least it was like that at their last location. | |
| Aren't you sorry you missed out on this one? It's already sold out! LOL I like the look of it. Would never pay that. | |
| HELP! I bought equipment drunk, don’t know anything. Can i plug an amp line out into the preamp line in, then run the preamp out back into the poweramp in? Or will that create a blackhole? You certainly should not run an amplified out from your speaker taps on the amp back into a line level input... | |
| Do You Ever Find Yourself Unable to Listen To Your System? Hi Jay-Yes, certainly, we have all been through periods like this or at least most people have. I have also found that when I'm physically sick - flu, cold, strep - I do not want to listen to music and when I flip on the stereo habitually that is... | |
| Streamer Advice / Recommendation for Denafrips R2R DAC Another vote for upgrading the preamp as the weakest link in the chain for 2-channel audio. The pre-outs are a convenience but the preamp in the AVR is meant for the amps in the AVR and won't match well with anything else. Nor is it anywhere nea... | |
| OK - Now What…? It’s a bit of fighting the addiction, but "in my experience," upgrades for upgrades sake are rarely successful - i.e. you are better off if you have a goal in mind.I’ve found that your system will influence what you listen to - artists and genres ... | |
| Listening to digital and analog People don't want to hear this, but good digital takes an entirely different skill set. Not unlike analog, you cannot just spend your way to good sound. There are things you need to understand to do it well, but the logic is different from analog... | |
| Roon: anyone else experience slowdowns after usage? My library is "medium" I guess, compared to many of the Roon forum posters. About 8000 albums, 4000 local ripped CDs and 4000 combined from Tidal and Qobuz.Not to be argumentative, but how would being patient help? I'm not sure what you mean. W... | |
| Roon: anyone else experience slowdowns after usage? For the core on the Windows 10 machine I use the full app that is core plus the interface. There's no network in between that, obviously. I do have other remotes that are ios and Win 10 and there is a network between those. There's a 10G hop bet... | |
| Roon: anyone else experience slowdowns after usage? Thanks all. I should have specified that my setup is Win 10 and it seems like this issue is mostly a Win 10 one, albeit I have seen other complaints of a similar issue on various Mac OS. Everyone says that Rock seems to be more stable as are als... | |
| Speaker suggestions please - going to the BIG city In Chicago, near Buena Park: Saturday Audio Exchange on Belmont at about Sheffield. | |
| Class A amplifiers The OP is asking about Levinson gear. At least the classic era Levinsons, some of them do cook themselves to death. I have a No.23 and the repair job is going to be near $3000. The authorized repair center explained that the Levinsons do tend to... |
