| Roon Endpoint Streamers - Direct Comparisons between Current Offerings? Based on my listening, the streamer/endpoint has more influence on SQ than the server to the point where it seems the server only needs to be competent and reliable. This. Bravo! | |

| The Emperor Has No Clothes!! I replaced all the solid state components in my car with tubes. The road is so much more liquid and smooth now, but man when a tube blows, you gotta hope you're not on the highway. | |
| The Emperor Has No Clothes!! Let’s just agree to disagree. This is a good step towards mutual respect and a civil discussion (or lack of any discussion) but I suggest it needs to come with the caveat that if someone makes an unqualified statement (i.e. doesn't portray ... | |
| The Emperor Has No Clothes!! Once you grow up The irony! | |
| The Emperor Has No Clothes!! Confirmation bias, your brain playing tricks on you…all these standard lines are used by those who either 1) can’t hear; 2) never heard and have no experience, and 3) can’t afford to own And this is the standard line used in response to allegat... | |
| Roon is snappy responsive now Buying a new router won’t improve sound quality unless you are getting dropouts from a weak connection… | |
| Long USB cable recommendation I would be concerned with streaming audio over such a long distance, even with an active cable that has a repeater in it. Maybe just audiophilia nervosa but that seems like something that long might give you dropouts or exacerbate jitter, or just ... | |
| Songs you use when auditioning gear Rage Against the Machine's cover of Renegades of Funk. Speakers are challenged by the high pitched whine. Subterranean Homesick Alien by Radiohead. Good for checking image depth, air and space. I try not to avoid the audiophile tracks that alw... | |
| Maggies and subwoofer integration Large panel Maggies require tons of good clean power No question. I 100% agree. My Maggies never *really* sang until they were actively biamped with 2 amps rated at 500w into 4 ohm (doubling from 8). Getting those active crossovers out of the ... | |
| Maggies and subwoofer integration I do wish people would be more direct with their opinions. 😉 One can definitely integrate subs into a Maggie setup. To each his own, but there are genres of music that I feel need the punch, and I use subs with box speakers too. Being a big REL... | |
| I Don't Understand What Determines When A Thread Gets The Axe You want active moderation? Try Roon's forum. They have a huge number of moderators who appear to move posts into different threads constantly. It's super confusing because they'll move a post out and start a new thread with it when the poster ... | |
| Here's to the temperate, the gentle, the moderates in audio Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check that out. | |
| Do You Buy Speakers Without Hearing Them? I've never bought without hearing, but I have bought without listening. I buy almost exclusively used speakers. I will always make sure all the drivers work and there are no defects, but I have found there is not much point in focused listening ... | |
| I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming Just a balancing voice that most network professionals and engineers will tell you, as per the design of IP networks, there is no SQ benefit to "audiophile grade" network gear. I've been through the debate and don't need to do it again so I won't... |
