| Roon Nucleus vs generic NUC I had pretty much the direct opposite experience. Prior to using the Nucleus, Roon core was on a MacBook M1. Pretty good SQ in my opinion, but hadn’t known how much noise it was introducing until I had moved the core over to a Nucleus with a separ... | |
| Lack of Female Representation +1 @painter24 great story you shared. @simao I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’m a master at quilting, decoupage, and needlepoint - so much so that I’ve become quite the rage on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and aol email accounts. | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System Appreciate the responses. I haven’t identified any hardening of the sound so far, but I’ve also been listening at lower volumes early in the morning. I will say, though, the clutter is more than expected with the FMCs and LPS. I’ve had to spend qu... | |
| Starting Point for Room Treatments? Room acoustics were (and continue to be) a huge issue for me that I’ve slowly been chipping away at over the course of the past 1.5 years. I actually found GIK free advice really helpful - they provide general education about room acoustics and th... | |
| Which subwoofer pairs perfectly with Tannoy Stirling GR speakers? I have a Rythmik F12G that’s pairs nicely with the Stirlings. The variable phase control and parametric equalization have been super beneficial. For my room and listening preferences I have this sub crossed at either 50 or 60 Hz. https://www.ryth... | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System Thanks @audphile1 for that confirmation. I went with the SGC Optical Isolation System and heard a pretty big improvement - so much so I’m contemplating the Optical Module Deluxe. Here’s a question I’ve been wondering, though. Current setup... | |
| Lack of Female Representation I can’t speak to why there’s a lack of female representation. I ran into an interesting experience, though, in regards to an inlet to my wife having a better understanding about a year ago. She had never been to a brick-and-mortar Hi-Fi store. Mor... | |
| Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system? I stream through an Amazon Echo via voice control, or a $179 laptop into a $130 SMSL DAC @jssmith understand and respect that you’re coming from a "bits are bits" perspective presumably from your software engineer background that you had mentio... | |
| Why is everyone so down on MQA? @bobdg2000 Square has had majority (80%) ownership since March of 2021… | |
| Best upgrade for SGC servers; LPS vs network switch I hadn’t heard that about the optical package being dry or thin - I would’ve been hesitant as well. Agree with the above - relaxed and rich sounding. My experience as well in addition to much less noise which was plaguing my system. | |
| Best upgrade for SGC servers; LPS vs network switch Optical FMC package from SGC made a pretty significant impact for me and my Roon end point. Wish I had done this years ago had I known. | |
| Why is everyone so down on MQA? MQA is confusing when it comes to the software and hardware needed to process the unfolds - 1st unfold, 2nd unfold, all-in-one unfold and then we have decoder, renderer, and full decoder. Curious if everyone is/had been using a full decoder to com... | |
| STREAMING - QOBUZ VS TIDAL AND ROON'S PREFERENCES @chocaholic I feel like Roon Radio is pretty close to Spotify’s artist’s radio that you had mentioned; maybe not as good. Roon Radio usually begins after playing a single track that I had selected or after an album ends - can’t remember if I had s... | |
| I have found out why new cables and tweaks actually work! I was literally at the seat of my chair reading each and every word…and then I realized this was tongue in cheek - the Axe body spray was a dead giveaway and mildly offensive since I use their product each and every day. | |
| christmas music Apologies in advance that this recommendation isn’t an album while realizing this thread is from 2007, but we’ve been enjoying SomaFM’s Department Store Christmas - kind of like elevator music for Christmas (great background music). |
