Roon
I am quite happy with Roon. Content customer for going on four years. Watching was a waste of time. Did not agree with the rant on Roon as the logic of his points were not flushed out or true. The point of Roon Labs being greedy by competeing with... 
I am so happy.....
Great to focus on gratitude of the sound we have achieved and the appreciation of it. Thanks for reminding us how good we have it at.  
Does Formula 1 racing and high end audio go together for anyone else?
Not sure if there is a connection between F1 and hi-end audio other than an appreciation for the finer things.   IMO the Netflix series Drive to Survive has done a lot to bring the uninitiated into the fold. My spouse didn't know the sport existe... 
God doesn't need to know what time it is.
Trying to explain watches to the non-enthusiast is similar to trying to explain high end audio to the non-enthusiasts. Thanks for the thead as I haven't put on a watch in a while. Knew which one to choose... the Seadweller put a smile on face, ver... 
GIK alternatives
Only good experiences with GIK. Shipping has gone up for everyone. Last time I ordered was previous to the supply chain issues and I had to wait a couple of months. I made many of my panels, but utilized GIK for the low frequency absorption such a...

Roger Miller anyone?
On reading this post, just listened to Roger Miller Roger Miller 74 release on Qobuz. I was pleasantly surprised at the fidelity of the recording. Interesting that the album is 19 minutes and there are 10 songs. Definitely catchy for catchy sake, ... 
I treated my room !
Congrats OP, well done. Dialing in the room is so rewarding.    
How many systems do you have?
Five, but two are quite modest. Two channel system in dedicated room, home theater system, headphone system, and two modest systems in office and work out room.    
I'm confused - Different music...different speakers?
OP, thanks for drawing attention to The Allman Brother’s Live at Fillmore East. Steve Guttenberg of Audiophiliac recently mentioned that recording. Your post got me to listen to the hi-rez version on Qobuz to verify if it was or was not the record... 
A different world
Totally agree. It is a good time to be a music lover and audiophile. I am all in with Roon and Qobuz. I have also found even with similar redbook resolution Qobuz has the goods of a better remaster than what is in my library. Nick Cave's Masterpie... 
An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers
Phil,I hope you get it sorted and find the right speaker that works for you. 
Samsung flat screen TV’s
I have had good reliability with Sony, but I have also had pretty good reliability with Samsung. Sony and LG (Samsung in flagship models only) are the premier brands. I would own a Hisense before I owned a Samsung. This does address reliability, b... 
XLR or RCA for my new DAC
I use XLR as my preamp is balanced and I get more gain. If single ended, I would use RCA.
