| What is turntable “liveliness”. @ghdprentice yep I am only a few years behind you. I bought my Linn Axis in the mid 80s in order to preserve my sizable investment in records at the time when CDs broke. I’ve bought many more albums since. They are fun to collect. In recent years ... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time I run Roon endpoint software on 5 different devices currently. My two “hifi” streamers are Cambridge Audio Units. Nothing fancy….just well executed and pretty reliable. Roon itself is reliable most of the time but is subject to occasional glitches... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time I have been in IT since the early 1990’s. I just can’t jump on board here although I appreciate the tenacity of the OP Ditto. Op mentioned a house wide surge protector. I also have one of those. Highly recommended. DAC and software used for... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time No @thyname I did not ask for proof nor “demand” anything. That was your interpretation. Also not interested in pi—ing contests. So over and out. I’ll stay tuned and see if anything more of interest or value should pop up. Why? Because I like to l... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time Nobody is obligated to offer any proof or even evidence of anything. Accordingly of course nobody is obligated to either accept or reject claims asserted. That’s each persons choice. If someone wants to believe I have no problem with that. But ... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time @thyname not that I owe you any response but with all due respect I am not the one making any claims in this thread so there is nothing for me to prove. Btw my system has largely changed but I did have it posted here for quite a long time. Posting... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time Ok I’ll settle for some pictures and a description of the entire system used. I’m assuming there is an amp and speakers in there somewhere? Maybe I missed it. Details, details. | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time I hate to have to say it but show me something other than words to convince me how all that makes a clear difference. | |
| What is turntable “liveliness”. It’s a 100+ year old technology. People keep throwing money at the problems trying to mitigate them all as best as possible. It’s prettty insane! Go digital streaming! Much less problematic and way more versatile. | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time I must be lucky. Mine has always sounded great since day one years ago. Streamer, software and DAC combo combined with practical isolation methods determines most of end results in my findings. | |
| What is turntable “liveliness”. The only sound turntables make that I am aware of are distortion in the form of wow and flutter and noise in the form of rumble and hum . Otherwise anything you hear off the source material at hand comes from the cartridge and how it interacts wi... | |
| Who has the Sickness, the Phile or the Non-phile? Generalized labels or descriptions are really not very productive. Everyone is different. Just accept that fact, worry about yourself, and avoid the urge to pass judgement on others. I think that is good advice not just for a harmless hobb... | |
| Ohm for Sale There was a video tour of the Ohm shop in Brooklyn done several years back. The focus was on how small, meager and blue collar the shop was. Brooklyn is not a cheap place to do business but Ohm managed to deliver so much with so little, practicall... | |
| About ready to give up on Roon and my streamer @dalims4 may have a point regarding router used. I don’t recall details but do seem to recall something in Roon docs indicating some routers could cause problems with default configuration. So worth checking to make sure your router is proper f... | |
| About ready to give up on Roon and my streamer What @erik_squires said about checking the Roon processing stream. Not familiar with that streamer but could be an incompatibility with the resolution somewhere in the system. Also make sure no unwanted Roon DSP processing is in play. That can wre... |
