| Brain Farts w/ Roon Nucleus I used to run Roon and HQPlayer on an old first-generation mac mini that I upgraded with SSDs and installed Ubuntu linux on. No issues with brain farts unless I used a compute-intensive HQP filter. I recently bought an ASUS ROG with hefty Nvidia ... | |
| Chair I have an original Eames and ottoman, but I still get lower back pain after long listening sessions. I suspect the right pillows/bolsters would help, but I am moving soon and the listening spot is more likely to be a new sofa. So I will evaluate t... | |
| Electronic cross-over on pre-amp out, to split signal to subwoofer and bookshelf speakers Check out Sublime Acoustic. They make two different levels of crossover unit, the K231 and the K235. Lovingly crafted in Northern California. The one issue that some people complain about is that to change the crossover point, you need a small ca... | |

| Beginner in the Audiophile World – Looking for Streamer & Streaming Service Advice I have installed VB-Audio cable and route that through HQ Player Desktop with great results. It's not complicated at all . If you use NAA, you can do the same and there is no need for 2 streamers. I was unaware of this; this is very cool -- tha... | |

Be aware that if you install HQPlayer NAA... | |
| What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers ++ @mikelavigne re: DSP being a tool and the tradeoff being musical essence. Personally, I find the tradeoff acceptable in the lowest frequency ranges (say under 300 Hz or so), combined with judicious placement and integration of subs, where room... | |
| Best affordable Linear Power Stage I have a couple of the Allo Shanti 5V LPS. Well built and reasonably priced. Chicago Electric used to sell them, but since their merger with the PiShop they no longer carry it. Audiophonics.fr has them, but I'd guess there are now tariff issues th... | |

I appreciated their nod to Bach's Air on a G String in their cover of Crystal. And Lola (My Love) was reminiscent of Suzanne Vega's style on Solit... | |
| Why do I have to prove I am a human, every time I refresh a page on this site ? I’ve noticed I’m asked to prove my humanity on Audiogon whenever I’m browsing while outside the United States. It is annoying. Can’t you just set a session cookie after presenting the challenge the first time? | |
| Favorite Albums Not in the Mainstream Found on Streaming Services @jsalerno277 Oops... I misread your post to be asking for favorite albums not in the mainstream and also not on streaming services... As far as I know, Buckingham Nicks was never released in any digital form. I know there are at least two rips fro... |
