| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results @blisshifi very informative. Thank you for sharing! | |
| ROON Radio I’ve had similar questions about Roon Radio as well. Earlier this morning I played the same album (skipped a few songs). Roon Radio essentially gave me the same recommendations but not in the same order - there were two artists that it had recomme... | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results @blisshifi I have experimented with this countless times, and I have found only a few DACs under $15K with a built-in preamp stage or volume control that sound better without a quality preamp in the chain. If my memory is correct you’ve menti... | |
| Dirac vertical mic placement I don’t have any experience with that Arcam, but I do have previous experience with a NAD that used DIRAC. I actually found decent results with the DIRAC mic (and later UMIK) taped and used/slotted (UMIK) to a mic stand. The mic stand provided bet... | |
| Roon vs OS and Native Players - Impact on SQ? @jacobsdad2000 thank you for that. Totally agree/understand - and soon users of Aurender may be able to use Roon as well. And I think that was the theme I was trying to communicate - Roon and its users’ playlists, album tags, and history being ab... | |
| Roon vs OS and Native Players - Impact on SQ? @jacobsdad2000 I haven’t experienced the Innuos Sense UI, but I hear it rivals Roon which says quite a lot IMO. The stickler for me is that you’re somewhat “trapped” in that ecosystem as the UI and playlists can’t naturally be transferred to anot... | |
| Roon vs OS and Native Players - Impact on SQ? @jbuhl When you set the Pi to Roon Ready it shuts down MPD I do believe. And I suppose we could presume that this could be happening with other OS and their native players (maybe). @mgrif104 My belief (I don’t have factual data to back up b... | |
| Happy Holidays to All Happy Holidays to all, and especially you, Mesch. Greatly appreciate the guidance, time, and suggestions earlier in the year! | |
| Rhythmic F12SE setup using line in Out of curiosity are you experiencing any differences when making a change to the settings? | |
| Rhythmic F12SE setup using line in Low, High, or Mid for your dampening? Also, are you engaging PEQ? | |
| Purchase on Audiogon arrived not as described @chocaholic The more I get to know people, the more I like my dog. Agree 100%. Trying to decide if this quote will be a bumper sticker on my my Maserati or if I should really lean into it and put it on my tombstone. Decisions. I was pretty a... | |
| Do I Need a Dedicated Streamer? Interesting conversation. @benanders @yage what streamers have you owned/used? Yage it looks like you’re using a Raspberry Pi in your main system - I’m assuming this is still the case, yes? | |
| Tube preamp with Adcom amp If looking specifically at the cj ET3 or the PV12L on TMR, I’d bet the PV12 is closer to the classic cj tube sound than the more recent ET3 with remote. That cj sound signature has changed over time. | |
| Any normal size speakers that sound like Volti Like many here, they look pretty good with where they’re placed in that room. Question: the television - is that the main television for that room or is that to look at album art and playlist from you audio system? I think that’s the most distrac... | |
| Tweak Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps. By coincidence I purchased one in Palm Springs to replace a lava lamp that had no business in the house per my better half. Didn’t know about this tweak, but I do enjoy the soft glow. My spouse says it still looks tacky. Just sent her the link abo... |
