Linn LP12 turntable
@signaforce very important thing I have forgotten to mention: I had my LP12 serviced my system 4 times in 15 years: 1) When I bought it  2) when I relocated to France  3) 1st set of upgrades  4) 2nd set of upgrades  and if you check YouTube ... 
Linn LP12 turntable
@signaforce I have bought my LP12 about 10 years ago for around $5000. It’s today almost up to top drawer level around $30,000. I have always been happy with it and enjoyed the ride.  95% of the people giving negative comments on the LP12 have ne... 
Lumin U1 mini vs SOtM 200 neo ultra as Roon endpoint
Thanks. I have a roon rock NUC. So I would connect the streamer to Ethernet and to the Lampizator Baltic 4 either via Coax rca or usb cable.   
Lumin U1 mini vs SOtM 200 neo ultra as Roon endpoint
I’ve  Tried JPlay. Better than other platforms but i still listen to more music with Roon.

I knew this was coming. Qobuz interface and music suggestions suck. Roon is beautifully done. I know the SQ is said to be not the best. I’m not sure I can hear that difference.   
Is it fine to connect a power strip with A/V to one input of the power conditioner?
@rmdmoore after some reading I’ll plug the power amp straight to the wall and limit the conditioner to key sources and preamp. I have two direct lines on the wall, one for the conditioner and the other will be used for the power amp. A standard wa...

@erik_squires that was my other option. Wondering if the blue ray disc player could be within the hi-fi grouping.

@stereo5  thanks. In your case I wouldn’t have a doubt. My case is a bit different and wondering if I can plug tv, blue ray player, streamer and power amp on one power strip and plug that into one Hydra outlet.   
Streamer output options
Correct about recent USB. Anyhow we should follow what each DAC manufacturer recommends as best input.   
BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS
I’m in the same boat as the op. I have tried many options. Now I have TAD ME1 speakers, TAD C600 preamp, TAD M1000 amp, Lampi Baltic 4. Shunyata delta hydra 6 conditioner, Skogrand Tchaikovsky cables. I will demo Dutch and Dutch active speakers an... 
What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds?
Don’t forget how you isolate them from resonance and vibrations.   
Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse
I own a pair of Avalon Idea and their are terrific. Wide and deep soundstage. Musical and well balanced tone-wise. Great sound in a rather small footprint. They also look fantastic and built in a way that is not so common anymore. They look like h... 
Looking for High Quality Streamer Only Options (NO DAC)?
Roon optimised rock kit NUC latest version. Solid and smooth in operation. Add a Farad Super 3 and don’t think about that bit of the chain anymore.    
What % Of Your System Are Your Cables?
30% excluding power conditioning and power supply. Skogrand, Shunyata, Albedo.   
After 20 years, in the market for a power amp
Second hand Vitus SS101 and vayas con Dios.
