| Speakers Don’t Matter As Much As We Think They Do? Overheard at an audio showroom, with a finely tuned system of all Linn front end Klimax/Exakt/Katalyst streamer, DACs, amplification and Linn speakers: “I hate Linn electronics but these Linn speakers sound amazing!...” | |
| Speaker engineering and design These speaker “designers” and audio “engineers” know nothing really. Just out to rip us all off with decades old technology and fake design upgrades.Knowing this to be true I set out to build my own speakers. I found some abandoned wood pallets be... | |
| Multi-room streamer (alternative to Sonos) Today’s announcement from Sonos is going to impact how people budget and deploy multiroom streaming speaker systems... | |
| Sonos Announcement today 1/21/2020 I just took a very brief glance at that thread: wow! I guess the BIG question is: will having legacy gear in the same chain as newer Sonos gear kill your ability to get Sonos updates (which are vital to the system working)... | |
| Considering going back to Solid State Maybe look into Boulder? | |
| Help for Linn Isobarik speakers I would join the hififwigwam which is major UK based audiophile forum. A subgroup on that site is the Linn Club. Lots of very experienced and helpful Linn owners there... | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror Which front end source/streamer would go well with this DAC? | |
| Audio Physic speakers The Tempos look similar to the design style of the Regas, like the RS7s.I wonder how they sound in larger rooms? | |

The sandbox is plenty big enough for all.I think there are more “bits are bits” followers in the Roon camp than there are within the traditional audiophile world. But the Roon technolo... | |
| Lumin X1 latest Review like we have been saying Just to stir the pot: a lot folks who use Roon now use the Roon Nucleus straight into a USB DAC. No streamer box at all. They get all the main streaming services, the Roon Core, a more direct path to the sound and storage to their own ripped archi... | |
| Quality DAC/Streamer to go w/ SS Pass & Bryston separates? ^^ that is another option I am considering. Thanks!I already own the Linn Majik DSM. I need to test this! It has preamp duty so I am uncertain how well it will play with Pass XP-20. But it might be great? I am curious about adding some level of wa... | |
| Quality DAC/Streamer to go w/ SS Pass & Bryston separates? This unit is on my radar. It may (or not) introduce a little warm tube sound to this system: TUBADOUR III SE Nonoversampling Tube DAC... | |
| Quality DAC/Streamer to go w/ SS Pass & Bryston separates? The obvious data point!I purchased the Pass Labs preamp and Bryston amp used in great condition.So, I think I would want to keep any purchase of a streamer and DAC system under $6K if possible?The decision on keeping the Rega speakers might be mon... | |
| Which type of cable sounds best for Streamer to DAC: AES/EBU or DIGITAL COAX or USB ?? You will find a ton of opinion on this as there are a ton of variables. Not all components will have every available connection option. Some components will have weaker or better connections. Just not a consistent arena. It is a good idea to check... |
