Audiogon Seller Communication
I think any seller should keep in mind that once a person buys something from you, from that point forward communication with that buyer should be a key point. If I ask a question about my order I expect a timely response, it doesn’t have to immed... 
New Streamer, DAC or Let it Be
@traubr  Careful, once you start down the rabbit hole to stereo improvements that hole gets very deep.  I am certainly glad I did it but.....it is not for the faint of heart, if you know what I mean.  You have a pretty good start with those speak... 
roon sound wasn't as good
@audiotroy  Roon can sound great it requires superior programming skills and hardware designed to run roon optimally, our 432evo servers run Roon in an entirely different fashion by maximizing how roon is run by the CPU:.   I don't know about a... 
Interconnects
I have the Mackenzies in my system, I don't know that you will find a better cable for the price.  They did make a very big improvement in the SQ of my system, at the same time I don't think they are best cable out there.  I am sure you can find s... 
Aurender Model Choices
@jfrmusic  You may want to look into a 432evo Aeon from @audiotroy. it is a little more than the N200 but as you upgrade the rest of your system the Aeon would fit right in.  
I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming
@goodlistening64  I can't get Verizon here, other than 5G wireless service that is, otherwise I would give them a try.  
I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming
@goodlistening64 Unfortunately Comcast or CenturyLink are my only 2 options for internet service right now.  Comcast is is way better, I signed up with CenturyLink when they had a deal going on with a 2 year contract, as soon as that was over I w... 
Newer Blues Artists or Recordings
There are lots of mentions for some really good blues players on here, some I have never heard of.  Thanks @mitch2 for starting this conversation, now I will have to dig into some new music to listen to.  
Newer Blues Artists or Recordings
Unless I missed it, so far I don’t see any mention of Jonny Lang, his music is great. He started playing guitar at age 12, in his mid 40’s now I think. Another great blues band is Gov’t Mule.  
I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming
@nyonalake  I feel your pain, as a Comcast customer for the last 7-8 years I tried to go the route of buying my own cable modem to save some money on rental fees.  When I decided to buy a modem instead of renting I tried the cheap way first and g... 
What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another?
@curiousjim  I don't have Roon but that almost makes me curious enough to try it just to find out if it does change the sound of my N20.  That could be true I guess, but doesn't sound logical to me, am I missing something?  I have compared the so... 
What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another?
@audphile1 It certainly did on this one, it just absolutely blew my mind that there was that much difference in the sound after a couple weeks.  I have always been a believer in break in time but have never experienced that big of a difference i... 
What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another?
I will try to weigh in with my 2 cents worth on this subject, FWIW.  I owned what I considered a very good streamer with a suggested list price of around 6000.00, the only problem was the fact that I hated the app used to control it.  I finally go... 
A Few Nice Words For Upscale Audio
@thecarpathian  I stand corrected, I just did not see that I typed the word wrong even on the proof read.  Then again, I am not on this forum for lessons in perfect grammar or spelling and sentence structure.  No, I don't think I overreacted at a...
