    Re: Too Much Music

    With 2800 albums I’d be lost without Roon. They are almost entirely jazz, and with so many artists playing on each other’s recordings I need Roon’s capability to cross-reference. I will play...

    Re: Which speakers??

    I am really enjoying my new Revival Audio Atalante 3 stand mounts, great price for the performance and could be a good match for your Exposure (they sure are for my Sugden). They are a new company...

    Re: Roon 2.0 update or wait?

    Re: Active Speakers - will this time be different?

    Of course it’s the core of our hobby and a lot of fun looking for synergy among swappable components. But… the idea of matched-by-design amplification and drivers, allowing designers to take the...

  9. Re: Do I really need an " Audio Grade Network Switch "?

    Question: my switch is used to connect a streamer (Metrum ambre) and a SGC sonictransporter (Roon core) to my router - so it comes into play for both “internet” streaming (e.g tidal through Roon) and...

    Re: Metrum Acoustics Bankrupt

    And within the Metrum brand I'm still enjoying my Onyx DAC upgraded with DAC3 chips from Metrum (Cees says they are based on his Sonnet Morpheus and provide 95% of its performance) fed with I2S from...

    Re: ampCamp amp -- a surprisingly beguiling amp

    Thanks for the update, I also have the Almarro, which I swapped out during the summer with a red wine audio amp to reduce the heat. I love the red wine amps, but putting the Almarro back in service...

    Re: Blue Note Reissues

    Yes, the ones I have don’t have the gatefold (some tone poet ones don’t either actually), cover isn’t as thick or glossy, different sleeves too but still great sound quality in 180g vinyl, perhaps a...
