    Munich 2025

    Some observations from Munich ... Best room was the Clarisys VAC system which just flattened the competition. This was a huge system which was a cinema setup in terms of scale. They easily topped the Silbatone Western Electric room which is really saying something because the Silbatone WE...

    Munich 2025

    I was there on the last two days and spent most of my time with the exhibitors on floors 4.1 and 4.2 where most of the heavy hitters are located. No other way to do it in the limited time that I had. I got to spend a good hour or so in total at the Clarisys room and got to meet Mike. Fabulous...

    Why I Stopped Using Roon

    I gave up on Roon years ago. I use Qobuz and Spotify directly. Roon is a great software package but isn't necessary to enjoy one's music. JRiver is still king when it comes to managing my music database - effortlessly handles all that I throw at it. Even when I had Roon, I found JRiver better...
