| Roon/Qobuz lost 7000 files Wolverine1, I never say never, the reason I have multiple backups, usb hard drive, Synology NAS and Soundiiz. Yes, it would still be tedious work to replace the lost Qobuz music within Roon, but I do have all the albums and artists saved.I just wo... | |
| LinLai WE 300B or the LinLai Global Elite Permaloy 300B tubes ? I've not been able to move past present Shuguang black treasures as PT in 300b mono blocks or as drivers in Coincident Turbo 845 because of warranty and durability questions.

| Why have capacitors improved so much over the years? I've been modding for perhaps twenty years now, IME, both film and electrolytics have improved, I presume for all the reasons above. Really, very few choices years ago with boutique caps, most were general use variety. As I recall, the first audio... | |
