Roon Aquisition: Will This Help Or Hamper?
It’s been a couple of months since the acquisition. What are people’s thoughts so far? Obvious and not so obvious changes: - Nucleus Titan and Nucleus One - Interface seems a little bit snappier and responsive (at least for me) - Requesting fee... 
Are You a Swifty?
she seems to be a generous and genuinely good-hearted human being who puts on a great concert and as far as I can tell deserves her success.  If there were more people like her the world would be a much better place.   Well said and completely ... 
Roon Build 1382 SQ
I haven’t heard a difference, but I also don’t use DSP. Good stuff @wsrrsw. Going to try these settings over the weekend.  
Radical toe in once more
I’ve been periodically playing with placement of my Tannoy Stirlings over the course of the past year and a half. Per their manual, radical toe-in is recommended. Historically I found the treble energy to be a little much while reducing the sounds... 
Stuff You Tried To Love
Oh my goodness, I love tubes. I even want one of those cool tube clocks! For me, it’s the NAD C658 all-in-one (preamp, DAC, streamer, DIRAC). The feature set sounded incredible and it used BluOS which I was familiar with from the Node I previousl... 
2024 Audio System Wish List
Currently on the waitlist for a Decware ZRock3 which will be placed between DAC and integrated- hoping for arrival by April/May. I’m also really interested in the Fibbre USB Optical digital cable between my streamer and DAC - still trying to do my... 
Virtual Systems
I’ll try: Audiogon main page > three hashtags top right corner > click on your user name or picture (if you have one) > drops down and click My Virtual Systems > next to your system click on the Actions which will allow you to click o... 
Songs you use when auditioning gear
Anything but popular songs... Guess why ?   Not always, though. I really appreciate the following mainstream songs that sound pretty darn good: Your Power by Billie Eilish Billie Bossa Nova by Billie Eilish Exile by Taylor Swift & Bon I... 
Look at these beauties
I’ve been doing my research on these cables and they look legit. I’m actually not too worried that the listing includes no actual picture - if they have a few scratches no one will notice. Regardless, I made an offer of $7,499.27. Guess we’ll see ... 
Can’t find my product in blue book value listing
HiFi Shark is such a wonderful website. Not only is it helpful for a buyer, but also for a seller in determining an amount to list their component. I also appreciate how you can be notified of new listings for components you’re interested in as a ... 
Anyone with Aric Audio experience?
In respect to the Transcend Push Pull amp, as well as Jazbobobs recent review, and all the other previous comments about Aric Audio. I must say, the Push Pull amp is something else when using EL34s in triode mode with no feedback. This amp can def... 
Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz
That’s what I’m doing while having the Roon lifetime subscription: Tidal HiFi (regular) CD Quality at $10.99 for their 100 million tracks. Qoboz Studio (Hi-Res) at $10.82 for their 424,000 Hi-Res tracks. vs Tidal Hi-Fi Plus at $19.99 for their ... 
Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz
Was it Soundiiz?  
ROON Radio
I think you are correct from this little experiment. I did a little digging and from my understanding Roon Radio is source (album) dependent - not user hx dependent. Roon Daily Mixes seems to be more complex and data driven from your usage hx.  R... 
Eliminated my preamp with amazing results
@blisshifi very informative. Thank you for sharing!
