| Do your speakers bite?? I want to hear bite if it’s in the recording but not because of speakers. Yes my speakers can deliver that when it’s there. Ohms or KEFs. But it’s not just the speakers. The things that feed them matter as much if not more. Newer good quality Clas... | |
| To ROON or not to ROON ? Roon is good for music discovery and good for music lovers. So is Plex/Plexamp which I use and costs less for those streaming from their own music library and Tidal only at present. If I did not already have Plex I might try Roon. However ... | |
| Mesh network versus a simple Wi-Fi extender You just need a strong WiFi signal for smooth performance. Does not matter how you get that. Mesh is typically better if more than two devices needed for that. If starting from scratch, mesh offers more flexibility to expand over time as needed. | |

I guess that’s why so many different kinds of gear get bought. I thought Classic Audio/Atmasphere room was dialed in very well yesterday. That was the first time I thought that in a ... | |
| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps Tubes are way cool and all glowey like candlelight. The more tube glow the more romantic. They fascinated me as a kid and still do. | |
| What are the big attractions at Capital Audiofest coming up this Friday? You are welcome. Have fun at the show. I only go for one day and don’t get to spend a lot of time in many rooms that I would like to. But I get a good sampling of what’s out there that I might be interested in and if I might be missing something. ... | |
