| Audirvana vs Roon I know nothing about Audirvana, but am now three-fourths the way through a month-long trial of Roon. I previously used LMS (the Squeezebox management software) to manage my music -- I'd used that for about 15 years.I'll start by saying that Roon s... | |
| Roon and Pure Vinyl I'm midway into a trial run of Roon and have over 1,000 LPs on my server that I converted to digital many years ago. Roon hasn't had problem identifying them, but they were already well-tagged prior to my Roon trial. | |
| Acme silver fuses Almost a 12 year gap between posts. That may be a record! | |
| Hunting Unicorns I've had a Squeezebox Touch for about 10 years now and almost never use the touch screen, especially for wading through libraries to select music. It's a painfully slow process compared to using a tablet to find the music I want to play. My favori... | |
| Hunting Unicorns Not sure what the OP is looking for. Most streaming services have tens of millions of tracks to choose from. How is one supposed to wade through all of that to choose what you want to play without some type of visual display? An old style remote g... | |
| Buddy can you spare a dime for a $12,000 Ethernet cable? Just curious, how does one get a "huge upgrade in terms of noise reduction" when I don't hear any noise now? Is the reason I should apply for a medical marijuana card? | |
| Streamer v DAC - which is more important? My two cents? The DAC is more important as that is where the data is converted into an analog signal. It's the spot where jitter, distortion, frequency non-linearity and noise can end up in the sound we hear. Until then, the streamer and all of t... | |
| Speaker company :HHR exotic speakers I owned a set of the original Ohm Fs back in the mid-1970s and they were my favorite speaker of all time. In a home environment the volume limitation never bothered me, even though I was in my 20s then. To this day, my average listening volume is ... | |
| ripping CD collection; need help w bootlegs (metadata) As respects the metadata, one of the more popular tagging programs is MP3Tag. This is a free Windows program that will let you edit the audio file metadata to your heart’s content, including adding images for album covers. Don’t let the "MP3" in t... | |
| Are your speakers designed for your listening taste and hearing ability? One flaw in the logic of bright speakers adjusting for hearing loss is that the hearing loss is still present when listening to real sounds in the real world. That means, if a speaker's reproduction is intentionally made bright, it will no longe... | |
| LS3/5A vs Tannoy You have to remember the original design purpose of the LS3/5A. The BBC wanted a small speaker for use in mobile vans for monitoring and mixing when recording or broadcasting from off-site locations. They were particularly interested in how well t... | |
| Holy Brightness Batman! My two cents - I've always found Energy speakers on the bright side, often even shrill. That can certainly make them stand out in the crowd when auditioning multiple speakers side-by-side, but I wouldn't be happy with them over the long term. My p... | |
| Need help with Qobuz please... If money is an issue, you can also consider a Raspberry Pi computer and dedicate it as a player. It can output analog, or digital to a DAC, or a decent DAC add-on board can be added to the Pi. I use the LMS (Squeezebox server) software and it can ... | |
| Ohm Super Sound Cylinder SSC-4900 initial thoughts kinda review monstertruck9882, you point out an interesting issue. Many (or more likely, most) of us are stuck with our rooms as they are. They are not dedicated listening rooms and the stereo must coexist with the other uses for the room, as well as the oth... | |
| Ohm Super Sound Cylinder SSC-4900 initial thoughts kinda review Two comments. I was surprised by your comments about the poor packaging. I bought a set of Ohm 1000s a year and a half ago and they were over-packaged, if anything -- each speaker was in a box, which was in another box, which was in a third box. I... |
