| Apple Launching Lossless Music Subscription Service? I would like to see Roon Labs make arrangements to included the lossless streams from Amazon, Apple and Spotify in Roon. Roon Labs please make that happen! Thanks. | |
| What are the top 3 USB cables being used today in reference systems? The cable issue is really a journey. I started with Shunyata Venoms which were good. Then I used some Supras. However, I have recently received some AQ Diamonds which I am listening to now. But it isn’t all about the USB cable. What is the rest of... | |
| Upscale Audio and Primaluna As far as the Nucleus is concerned I wouldn’t get either of them. As I have described before on other threads I sold my Innuos Zenith Mk3 and replaced it with a fanless Azulle Inspire i5 mini PC running ROCK. Yes I do have a LPS powering it and an... | |
| Magico compared to Tannoy @jimmy2615 I am happy to hear that you like your Magico A3s. I preordered them when they were announced. I would like to say that my experience with their need for current or watts is different than yours. I don’t know how loud you play your music... | |
| Does the Audio Industry Have a Quality Problem? @fiesta75 while I agree that one must always be careful from who they give business to, no matter what country they are in, and also when all things are equal I buy USA made, I have only had positive experiences with Denafrips.

| Interesting thought @millercarbon when it comes up, I tell the partner in the conversation that being an audiophile doesn’t have to cost a lot of money and if you want, you don’t need any equipment. If all you want to do is go to live shows and listen carefully and a... | |
| Keeping backup equipment? Backup amps? I have a collection! I don’t consider them backups. It’s a portfolio of different amps with different characteristics. | |
| Magico compared to Tannoy I own Magico A3s which are 88dB 4ohm towers. I understand that Tannoys are much more efficient. These like Zu Audio and Klipsch Heritage series would work well and even better with low power class amps like First Watt. However, My A3s are driven w... | |

| True or False? Wow. This opened a can of worms. What I have to say is that “generally speaking”, the better quality the system, the greater its ability to demonstrate the sonic improvements in tweaks ( ie better power cables and interconnects, footers, power sup... |
