| Anyone have a Roon Nucleus One? Your experience positive or negative? @2psyop I love Roon’s interface. I had a spare, 10+ year old mac mini (I had upgraded the hard drives to SSD, but the CPU was the original), on which I installed Linux and Roon. Good enough to run Roon without any problems. And since I was going ... | |
| Just upgraded to Fiber Optic feed ( 500Mbps) from Spectrum (250 Mbps) OMG @cooper52 Sonic is awesome. Had them for many years (DSL through to gigabit fiber). Great customer support. But I moved, and it's not available in my new area. Switched to Google Fiber, and after a rocky install process, am happy with it. I alway... | |
| Guitar playing audiophiles, Martin or Taylor? I currently have 5 acoustic guitars, and have had owned many over the past 40 years. Agree with all comments regarding it being personal taste, and also that the variations between guitars of the same model can often be on the same scale as differ... | |
| Looking for a new Subwoofer +1 @soix re: the Rythmik F12G subs. I am also a happy owner of a pair of these, and I think they are awesome value for the money. Made in Texas. | |

| What’s your opinion about Dali speakers? I am only familiar with Dali in the stereo realm, and not HT. I own the Epicon 6’s and am very pleased with them. I like them well enough that I will consider Dali speakers for a HT room that will be built in my next home. They are very balanced, ... | |
| Small footprint subwoofer I respectfully disagree you don’t need a sub that goes below 30Hz for music even in a smaller room. There’s actually a lot of info down there Agree! Even with speakers with a stated low end of 35 Hz, I found the addition of two Rythmik FG12’s m... | |
| Can a DAC do triple duty? I have a Pontus II with two DACs (I2S and USB connections) plugged in and an Oppo 203 (optical) for CDs as well. No problem. | |
| A Tale of Two Crossovers Have you considered the Sublime Audio K231 or their balanced version K235? Analog active 2- or 3-way crossover. I own the K231 and think it is a good value. I do not feel that it adds any significant coloration to the sound. | |
| Streaming question I used to use OpenVNC a number of years ago, and was happy with it. It appears to have been forked a few times. A reasonable looking version (which should be free based on the GPL license) is at https://tigervnc.org i have not used this particu... | |
