| In-ceiling: Am I wasting my money? ceiling=background music. I liked the elevators comment. No I wouldn't spend money trying to improve ceiling mounts....but only your opinion matters, it's your money, spend how you like. | |
| Do I really need a separate Roon Core (computer) to use Roon Software? Rock, I run a Lumin T2 and a Small Green Computer I5 as a Roon Server. I tried using an SSD equipped MacMini but it just didn't have enough horsepower for Roon....music would sputter or not load at all. The I5 is purpose built and runs Roon withou... | |

| To integrate or not... I just like fewer boxes now....for many years I had separates because I enjoyed looking at gear I guess. I've had tube integrateds for many years and currently running a PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium. The PL is my favorite tube gear so far. Tube roll... | |
| Your first system and your journey... Zenith with a suitcase design, speakers detached and the case opened up into a turntable...played the crap out of it. I still remember "Whole Lotta Love" blasting from it. | |
| Streaming only for Tidal Premium +1 for the Roon "ecosystem" I really enjoy reading about the music and musicians while listening and "navigating" to recommendations. It's worth the $10 a month to me. BTW, the sound quality and ability to DSD upsample is the icing on the cake. As... | |
