| Is there a ROON sound? Music apps don't assemble the bits, they simply copy the audio files they're supplied with bit for bit. The entire difference in music app sound quality begins at our modems, ends at streamer output. Streamers are largely responsible for sound qua... | |
| Article: "Do Blind Listening Tests Work? My Sessions with the Colorado Audio Society" No doubt improving our evaluation skills is important. Question is, what is your baseline for evaluation? One may use live acoustic music sans amplification of any kind, perhaps some would use other live music, we could also use other audio system... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? Electrolytics don't belong in any crossover, virtually any film cap will better electrolytic, and deterioration won't be an issue. | |
| Is there a ROON sound? The only software that can provide for differences in sound quality is OS run on streamers. Higher end streamer manufacturers expound much energy on optimizing and developing proprietary OS, they understand benefits derived from this. Harmonizing ... | |

| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? I'm with @texbychoice To believe all this equipment, software doesn't impact sound quality is illusory.

| What say you: Is this fair, or AITA? Audiogon did provide a service to you in the sense purchaser discovered you through the ad. And how did you exchange phone numbers? No personal contact info through Audiogon messaging system. | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Speaking of Slade, first discovered them 1972, "Slayed" album, loved the vibe of the band, none of my friends thought much of them. Slade didn't do particularly well here in US, sometimes US doesn't get certain Brit bands. Love the Christmas song,... | |

| Article: "Do Blind Listening Tests Work? My Sessions with the Colorado Audio Society" Blind testing does accomplish something in that it requires and exercises analytical listening mode/skills. Going through analytical listening mode is a rite of passage for audiophiles, graduation day arrives when one spends little or no time in t... | |
