| CD Alternative This all started when I recently went to audition speakers with a few CD's but discovered this was the old fashioned way and instead used a "Roon Streamer" I think. This is a can of worms. Just because something is newer doesnt mean it is b... | |
| Monitors with Built In Center Channels well, we all hear differently, but I've tried not using a center and I can't understand dialog at all. I have found the existance of the center channel, and then the positioning of that channel,crucial to understanding speech. I also didn't int... | |
| Careless Neglect in Hi-Fi. OPDo you realize that each of your paragraphs consist of one sentence each? You have some interesting thoughts but the run on sentences make it difficult to follow your argument. I wish that an English teacher had gotten hold of you in middle sc... | |
| How do you listen? I sold off my analog rig a few years ago, but I did notice that even with very clean vinyl I was boosting the volume a bit. The lower the noise floor, the less volume needed to hear micro detail. In general I dislike listening at low volumes and... | |

| Need some information about DSD over HDMI Why not just by the Bryston? I bought it precisely for this reason and then sold off my Mytek Manhattan | |

| Qobuz iPAD app and high rez At least you got a response from Qobuz | |
| Roon lost my Metrum Ambre -help Can you delete and reinstall Roon? Not a Roon user, so I don’t know if that is possible | |
| Waversa, any views I haven’t heard it, so all I can do is ask questions. I already thought that digital had a pretty low noise floor, which is a significant reason that I prefer it to analog. I’ll never forget my first CD , a recording of Debussy Images For Orches... | |
| Qobuz through the Marantz CD6006 I guess I missed the OP follow up question. I am not sure if he still uses the site, perhaps he will get this in his email feed. Speakers depend on many factors. Room size and synergy with other components, whether a subwoofer will be used, and... | |
