2 subs connected to a 2 channel amp?
I think James was stating that you’d likely want to have left channel information sent to the sub closest to the left speaker and right channel information sent to the right sub.  Will you be running a preamp? Streamer direct to amp? Or both? Wha... 
Review: Conrad Johnson PV-9 Tube preamp
Definitely an old thread - nothing wrong with that! I’ve been contemplating going back to cj for a while. You really don’t hear much about cj as of late. I was cruising their website and it looks like they are now selling direct.  
Question about Shipping
When I talked to Fedex today, they stated that if a product goes missing or damaged, they try to find the same product for sale or something similar and what ever price they come across, that is what they reimburse.   This is really interesting... 
What I wish I knew before starting my audiophile journey
I think OP did an excellent job in articulating his journey. Like many have said, multiple paths up the mountain to nirvana. I’m still learning about this hobby, and to some extent, still consider myself a newbie.   At an even more basic level, I... 
chatGPT identifies concentric driver designs like Ohm Walsh....
ChatGPT is both scary and absolutely fascinating. Its application seems boundless. Lots of discussion within academia in respect to its role and whether it’s considered plagiarism if used by students for their papers - the results stunning; the co... 
DAC/Pre-Amp Advice
Maybe I’m reading you incorrectly, but you can most definitely bypass BluOS and use Roon on the C-658 (and NODE). This is what I’m doing. Using the C-658 as a Roon end point and a Roon Nucleus (previously a MacBook as a Roon core). I haven’t had ... 
DAC/Pre-Amp Advice
I think you are right on the C-658, it is definitely going to be and upgrade from the Node, but I think it will most likely be my fall back option. I'm interested in doing a bit more research before throwing in the towel. Owner of a C-658. It's... 
Roon….can anyone point me to “human” tech support
@woots I’m assuming you posted the issue on Roon forum, correct?  
Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System
JS are you saying: Ethernet > FMC > optical (10 meters) > FMC > Ethernet > Switch (?) > streamer Here’s what I have: Switch > Ethernet > FMC > optical > FMC > Ethernet (0.5”) > streamer (Roon end point) One ...

Roon Nucleus vs generic NUC
I had pretty much the direct opposite experience. Prior to using the Nucleus, Roon core was on a MacBook M1. Pretty good SQ in my opinion, but hadn’t known how much noise it was introducing until I had moved the core over to a Nucleus with a separ... 
Lack of Female Representation
+1 @painter24 great story you shared.    @simao I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m a master at quilting, decoupage, and needlepoint - so much so that I’ve become quite the rage on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and aol email accounts.   
Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System
Appreciate the responses. I haven’t identified any hardening of the sound so far, but I’ve also been listening at lower volumes early in the morning. I will say, though, the clutter is more than expected with the FMCs and LPS. I’ve had to spend qu... 
Starting Point for Room Treatments?
Room acoustics were (and continue to be) a huge issue for me that I’ve slowly been chipping away at over the course of the past 1.5 years. I actually found GIK free advice really helpful - they provide general education about room acoustics and th... 
Which subwoofer pairs perfectly with Tannoy Stirling GR speakers?
I have a Rythmik F12G that’s pairs nicely with the Stirlings. The variable phase control and parametric equalization have been super beneficial. For my room and listening preferences I have this sub crossed at either 50 or 60 Hz. https://www.ryth...
