Primaluna?
VAC has autobias, the IQ system, in their newer models and protective warning leds. If the led turns green that tube is getting weak, if it turns red, the tube is drawing excessive current and the IQ system shuts down the main power supply in a fr... 
Video, Why dont audiophiles listen to each other.
@thyname, Everyone who has met mc and reported back has said that he is in fact a fine fellow and I'm sure he is.  People who don't like Tektons should probably just stay off those threads.  ✋  
Video, Why dont audiophiles listen to each other.
@millercarbon, You used to do a lot of threadcrapping and insulting of other posters yourself, and still do some. I think that’s where some of the vitriol that is directed towards you comes from. Also, your "I’m a genius and you’re not" schtick i... 
New to hifi... question about Lumin T2 and Roon
@tuberist   What brand ethernet cable do you use, if you don't mind me asking?  
Can Anybody Give An Example Of?
I love this scene for the way Tarantino contrasts the myth of the hippies with, you know, reality. Those "hippies" Tarantino was portraying were the Manson Family, who were in a category all their own.  
The Audiophile Community Has a Problem: Part Deux The Saga Continues?
@travelinjack How about you just don't bring it up.  If you do it what's to stop someone with different political beliefs from replying in kind.  Just don't do it.  It's not that hard.

More expensive = better?
No it is not certain that a more expensive integrated will sound better than a cheaper one, especially not jaw dropping better. If you can't listen to the more expensive integrated, preferably in your own system before buying, do a lot of reading... 
My experience with Roon Hardware
I have a Nucleus that I've fortunately never had problems with.  Your experience is indeed frustrating, but there have been other posts here like yours but dealing with other brands and types of gear or just communication.  In those other cases th... 
Is improvisational jazz to impressionism art as smooth jazz is to realism art?
issue got solved In what way?  What was the solution?  
Is improvisational jazz to impressionism art as smooth jazz is to realism art?
That’s fair. You’ve probably given a lot of other people headaches. 😄  
Is improvisational jazz to impressionism art as smooth jazz is to realism art?
I’m with the OP on art. Give me beauty rather than different. Different isn’t always better. Smooth jazz, not so much. Here are some artists I’ve been listening to lately that mainly stay on the contemporary jazz side of the line separating it f... 
Thank you millercarbon
