    Mike replied to a thread Aurender and Roon in Aurender
    Suggestion: run Roon core on a computer in your house. Laptop is fine. Try roon on the aurender (free demo) and compare. If you prefer roon (it’s the best UI, but sonically inferior IMO), then buy a roon core (roon makes nice ones) and consider...

    Cool

    Yes, we love the Oregon coast and I still work in Dallas, and my wife and dogs live in Oregon, so I commute. Sigh . . .

    With all my traveling back and forth, I'm finding it almost impossible to fit other trips in. But I would love a rain check in a year or so.

    I do love the Ayre gear. Especially the new 20 series.

    My email is: jock@seneca-investment.com

    Hello Jock- I see you are also on the coast, and have a Texas connection, as do I. We seem to share an appreciation for Ayre gear. I would welcome a visit if you were so inclined. I am located near the Sonoma Coast on 45 acres in the boonies, with guest quarters. If you have any interest, please send your email address so we can communicate directly. BTW, we met briefly at CES several years ago. Mike introduced us.
    Thanks,
    Tom Bourret
