| To Roon or not to Roon I have an Aries Mini and like the Auralic Lightning DS app very much. I've been curious about Roon but the combination of cost, Lightning is free, and need for extra computing power has kept me from trying it. | |

| disc player upgrade bug: Esoteric vs EMM vs PS Audio Are you able to audition at all? You have a couple of great disc players already and newer can be better but not always. Beyond that no specific recommendations but good luck! | |

| Brand new to vinyl: Help! I agree with the comments above you dropped a budget cable into what sounds like a very revealing top tier system. I would recommend finding a good dealer who will not only sell you a table but will expertly set it up and fit it with a cartridge t... | |
| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... One obvious exception was when I put in my brother’s Bryston 7B-ST monoblocks and they buried the Vincent. A tad bright for my taste but the overall detail and the added bass was quite impressive. @kalali Just think if you found it a tad brigh... | |
