| Brain Farts w/ Roon Nucleus The fact that Roon runs on so many devices both commercial and specialized for audio enthusiasts is perhaps its greatest feature as well as one of its biggest burdens because clearly performance can vary widely depending on what devices are used a... | |
| Brain Farts w/ Roon Nucleus Worth noting that I use DSP heavily all the time and my modest older minipc I run teh core/server on still does quite well, however fact is it does peg the CPU frequently which clearly indicates more CPU will only help. From what I read I will l... | |
| Brain Farts w/ Roon Nucleus Well to confuse things even further I've found Roon has improved quite a bit overall since teh Harmon purchase. Beefier hardware with more/faster CPU and memory is key for sure. When I upgrade it will most likely be to a Mac mini. But no ru... | |
| Brain Farts w/ Roon Nucleus A few tidbits to offer. 1) throttling the background processing as suggested helps reserve processing power for other tasks so that is a good idea. 2) sometimes the Roon endpoint not Roon itself can become the bottleneck, for example when... | |
| What exactly is critical listening? Who does it? If you are focused solely on listening you are listening critically. The more distraction the less critical the listening. | |
| What exactly is critical listening? Who does it? Correct. Get busy now and let us know your findings. Chop chop! Enjoyment is right out! 😉 Myself: guilty as charged. Call me Mr. Critical. Just be nice about it. Not too critical, please. | |
| MBL Insolvent The late John Strohbeen of Ohm Acoustics once wrote an article on the site where he indicated his admiration for mbl speakers indicating they were one of few that sounded right to him (other than his own Walsh CLS design) and took great pride in p... | |
| Encouraging people to consider a traditional 2 channel stereo system. Thanks @larsman . My fervent hope is that people pay more attention to the things that actually matter most and stop allowing politicians to distract them from their own best interests. | |
| MBL Insolvent Would love to see some “trickle down” of mbl technology to smaller and more affordable products designed to work better in most people’s rooms. | |
| HAVE CABLES EVER TAKEN YOUR SYSTEM FROM SOUNDING JUST OK TO SOUNDING GREAT? Experiences ? DNM Reson ICs clearly made things more coherent which to me was better. | |
| Encouraging people to consider a traditional 2 channel stereo system. Lots of good gear at all price levels for anyone interested. More than ever. So someone is buying something just not as much super high end luxury products as in the past. At least not in the USA. Times change and younger folk could mostly car... | |

| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? The tighter the better with many things including bass. | |
| MBL Insolvent That’s unique and valuable speaker technology. I’m confident it will survive somehow. | |
| So, “Audio Science Review” really doesn’t like this video I tried to watch but lost interest immediately. |
