I'm going nuts! I bought a Sonic Transporter i5 as my Roon core. I can't get it or Roon to see my L1. I even tried to hook them up together using a USB cable and still can't find it. I'm obviously not good with computers........but I followed any and all instructions I could find. Help!!!!!

I recently spent some time with Jim in his dedicated listening room getting aquatinted with his new system. I've been there before on a few occasions, but that was listening to his previous setup, which included his big Tannoy speakers with outboard crossovers and some very expensive ancillary...

I heard a rumor that Mike brought home some new speakers for his own listening room......................

When I brought my gear back upstairs to the main living area and hooked it all up to the Gryphon Diablo 300, my Manley Chinook was minus the left channel. So after trying new tubes I sent it back to Manley. The Chinook was completely checked out and the work was done promptly. Everything...

I'm curious about peoples habits when it comes to record cleaning. When you get a brand new album, do you clean it on your machine before you play it for the first time? Or just put it on and play it? I always clean mine first with my Clearaudio Double Matrix.

My DB9's are supposed to be finished by the end of the week I'm getting stoked!!

I made the mistake of visiting my 2 great friends in Florida this weekend,Mike&Mike. It had been way too long, about 3 years. I think they had a secret plot to separate me, from my wallet. I'm going to start calling them the "Killer B's" (Bovaird & Bauza). First stop Saturday was Mike's...

Jazz great Hugh Masekela has passed today after long battle with prostate cancer. He will be missed.

I've recently acquired this amazing amp from Mike. Damn him!!! He shipped it to me to demo and compare to my incredible Hegel H30. While both are amazing amps and each one has it's strengths, the Pass has better synergy in my system. I will get into more detail when I get back from vacation...

RIP to one of the true pioneers of Rock and Roll!!!!!! :heart::heart::heart:

My motor for my Avenger gave up on me last Friday. I called Mike, he got a hold of Matt at VPI and my new motor was delivered today!! :D What great customer service from both Mike and VPI. Color me happy as a clam :yahoo1:

What would you address first? I know that the room is BIG factor, especially after Jim Smith worked his magic on my system. But there are very few of us that can start there. So let's focus on gear! First step for me would be finding the right speaker, that's always been the one thing I want...

Last Saturday Jim came over to voice my system. I know that I've been a little quiet on the forum lately, it's just that I've been so content. I've just been enjoying my system so much. I have no desire for any new gear. Everything is just so good. I've spent the last year or so tweaking my...

Peter, I've been involved with digital streamers since I bought my Linn Akurate DS. Having moved to a Lumin A1 quite awhile ago I am convinced of the advantages and sonic qualities of these players. Back when I owned my Linn, every time we would get an update to download the Linn forum would...
