REL Carbon Special in the house!
The No. 32 & 31 are RELs new reference subwoofers.  
Roon "Lost control of audio device"?
I talked to Mark from Antipodes last night and he made some adjustments to my S30 and S40 music severs. In addition, he told me to remove the Chord EE8 switch and plug the S30/S40 directly into the router. I’ve used the Chord EE8 switch for over a... 
Roon "Lost control of audio device"?
My Antipodes S30 and S40 are hard wired to my Chord EE8 switch. The Ethernet cables are only 1m in length. Music will not play for more than 2 minutes without receiving the error, Roon lost control of the audio device. Sometimes I loose music all ... 
Roon "Lost control of audio device"?
Spencer, Thanks so much for your response.  I receive the error when playing files stored on my Antipodes S40(Samsung EVO SSD). Could it be my switch or USB cable? Sometimes it plays a song without error and other times I receive the error every...

Linux operating system  
2 x Rel S/812 or Singel No 25
It's my understanding the No. 25 is being replaced within the next month.  
Excellent Bi-Wire speaker cables?
I use Clarus Crimson and a dealer just recommended Purist Audio Venustas speaker cables. Unfortunately I have never heard them in my system.   
Preferences and system dependent
ghdprentice, Thanks for your comments. "Clearly what you hear will be highly dependent on your equipment." I agree and that's why I titled the thread preferences and system dependent. When Luis was setting up my speakers, a client of his came to ... 
Preferences and system dependent
mikelavigne, No right or wrong, just friendly conversation. I always appreciate your input, it makes me think!  You also need to take in consideration that my system isn't at the level of your system and that's okay. So, what I hear in my system... 
Preferences and system dependent
mikelavigne, "don’t kill the messenger." Why would I do that? You stated your opinion and I don’t take any of this personally. I have a dedicated well treated room(20’x26’x9’). I recently had my speakers set-up by 3ma Audio(Luis) and he removed ... 
Best Stereo Upgrade Value
In the past two weeks I’ve had the opportunity to compare the Aries Cerat Incito preamp to my Jeff Rowland Corus. In addition, I compared Odin One speaker cables to my Clarus Crimson speaker cables. Although there were differences between the prea... 
DAC diminishing returns
dsfreeh,  You determine value through listening in your system. Some hear differences between components and make the determination that it's worth the cost. Other's will hear improvements and determine it isn't worth the cost.   
Opportunity to buy Demo Magico M2?
nyev, Based on reading your thread, I don't think Monitor Audio speakers are a good option for you. In my opinion audio is about preferences, not better or worse, but what one prefers. You seem to prefer B&W and there's nothing wrong with tha... 
What does a subwoofer solve?
fiesta75, "If you don’t have at least 1 - 2 subwoofers you are missing a lot of low frequency energy that you didn’t even know was present ". There are no absolutes in audio. Not too long ago I was a big proponent of using dual subwoofers, not ju...
