| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT I have listened to the $350K, give or take, dCS Varese and it is a marvel. I can't say it is worth all that money, but my lord. It was fantastic. It's a stack with multiple components including a User Interface, Master Clock, two Mono DACs, and... | |
| Where to Place Network Switch @lalitk thanks much Thanks for all the discussion. I have a Roon nucleus, so I need to have it connected to the router in my current set up so Roon is spread about the house (multiple rooms). Plugged the mainline ethernet cable (going to the dCS... | |

| Where to Place Network Switch @antigrunge2 Interesting question. Not sure if the dCS Lina clock can work on the switch. I know the cabling ties directly into the Lina DAC. I’ll have to research that some more. If the goal is to limit or eliminate the EMI/RTI from the cab... | |
| There Is Nothing Like the Real Thing - Our State of the Art I am fortunate to have a good variety of venues to see live music here in Atlanta, GA. We see live music 3-4 times a month., Some venues are frickin’ horrible for sound. We stopped going to see music there, unless it was a really rare tour by a ... | |

Learn how they are listening to each other and then making incredible music with queues to each other. That is what makes jazz and oth... | |
| Calling All Tube Gurus Anybody know who makes McIntosh branded tubes? | |
| Phono Stage advice for Mono listening Get the McIntosh phono preamp. MP100 is the more modestly priced solid state model, but the It does stereo and mono. Look for a used MP1100. It is wonderful. Sell your other phono preamp and invest in the McIntosh. You won’t be disappointed. ... | |
| Qobuz and Tidal comparison @bobbyloans I have a Sonore streamer mainlined via ethernet. But still get these “pauses” via Roon. I think it is, meta data updates, as best I can tell. I have lots and lots of tracks. When Roon wants to update, it updates. Which is differe... | |
| Qobuz and Tidal comparison Do any of you Qobuz users ever have drop outs or meta data update pauses in its service? | |
| Does anyone on AG truly care anymore about objectivity & sincerity of Magazine reviews? I cannot present a strong argument against the premise of the OP. I quickly page through most of the reviews. But I do love the music reviews. | |
| Greg Kihn @woofman74 Very Cool! Lots of those Parkwest shows were discounted tickets via WRXT. Those were the days when concerts were affordable. Loads of fun and memories. | |
| Greg Kihn I used to see Greg Kihn regularly in Chicago in the late 70's and early 80's. He was a great rock n' roller. Great band. His live shows were awesome. I have some live tapes around here somewhere. His hits were no where near as satisfying as h... |
