Bergmann Galder with Odin Tonearm - $35K Sumiko Palo Santos Cartridge - ~$5K McIntosh MP1100 - $6K All prices when purchased, so that’s just shy of $50K. And I love the set up.  Amazing sound.  The Bergmann is a technological wonder with the v... 
Brain Farts w/ Roon Nucleus
Hey Folks, Wanted to give you an update.  Since I added/upgraded the RAM Memory in my nucleus I have not had any of the brain farts as described in my original post.  So far, so good.  
Brain Farts w/ Roon Nucleus
Hello HiFi Fans, It's me again.  it's the OP, no not the one from Mayberry. Wanted to update you all on my progress.  First off, eventually I will go the Innuos route. All roads and counsel leads me there, but not just yet.  Purchased a new Degri... 
Brain Farts w/ Roon Nucleus
@kennymacc  Thanks for that. Some solace in not being an outlier in this issue.  I have two iPads, my phone and a desktop computer, and when I get the squirrelly Roon icon it is happened on all of them.  Wish it was isolated to one device, but sad...

Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers
I’m sure you can find a good woman who loves the Dead, and good sound from floor standing speakers.  They are not mutually exclusive. I recommend Sonus Faber Liliums.  As beautiful looking as they are sounding.

ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT
I have listened to the $350K, give or take, dCS Varese and it is a marvel.  I can't say it is worth all that money, but my lord.  It was fantastic.  It's a stack with multiple components including a User Interface, Master Clock, two Mono DACs, and... 
Where to Place Network Switch
@lalitk thanks much Thanks for all the discussion.  I have a Roon nucleus, so I need to have it connected to the router in my current set up so Roon is spread about the house (multiple rooms). Plugged the mainline ethernet cable (going to the dCS...
