| Vinyl / High qual analog tape / High-res digital -- One of these is not like the other Some may prefer vinyl but it can’t hold the information that a digital file can it’s impossible.

| Roon: is it just a pretty face for browsing music? As long as they are on the same network it should work. You need a good robust wireless or you might get occasional drops. | |
| Vinyl / High qual analog tape / High-res digital -- One of these is not like the other @raulMy first nearfield live music event was years ago when I played trumpet. Now I just fool around with a mountain dulcimer. | |
