How to tame a bright system?
Yeah, the latter 600 series tweeters are not terribly well received. I’ve got an original pair of 684’s in my second system, the tweeters on those are very nice. As others have mentioned, cables are not the answer. Your best bet is DSP, or god for... 
a remarkably basic question about Roon
I’m not sure if I were simply running any various music app, Spotify, Amazon, or whatever, if I would bother with Roon. Don’t get me wrong, I love Roon, but it manages my NAS and the way too many songs it has on it. I can use other software, but R... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Eagles: Live at the Forum 1976 Overall pretty good record. Cool to hear some Hotel California songs that were played live before the album release.

Tammy, THANKS! Everyone like fun new toys!  
Just installed a bluesound node 2i , quality not so good

Rel Does Not Recomment Isolation Stands
Yeah, a company that does ONE THING, is clueless. Sure.  
Sexiest New 'Vintage'-Style Integrated/Amp/Receiver
That Mac C70 looks really nice! Generally not a huge Mac guy, but that one might change my mind a bit! Any word on how it sounds?  
A guy asks a question about high efficiency speakers........
The system just got jackhammered. It's been challenging of late, but just now BOOM! Spam bomb for sure.  
Spam as far as the eye can see!!
What's on the Tele? I don't know, looks like a penguin?   
Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided
I think it depends more on personality. I've gone through some gear in the last couple of years, not because something maybe be better (or not) but just to explore what is out there in a particular price range. Tubes, SS, Class A, Class AB, Class ...

Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam... lovely Spam, wonderful Spam. Classic skit!  
Subwoofer/monoblock connection
Yeah, if the amps are balanced (differential) you cannot simply wire + to + and - to -. The REL method is one sub to each amp, using whatever connection method you wish. (I use bananas with spade speaker connections) If balanced, simply leave the ...
