    Are tubes more musical?

    One of the more reasoned If I had any idea what you're saying, I'd respond. But you seem to be making valid points.

    Coming from @restorer-john, this is a high compliment!

    Are tubes more musical?

    An innocent question, perhaps, but you're asking a bunch of wine aficionados why Yellow Tail Cabernet Sauvignon tastes so much better to you than a $100 Premiere Cru Medoc. My advice is to enjoy what you enjoy. PS - Last time I checked, Yellow Tail, which tastes like Coca Cola to me, is the...

    KEF LS60 and WiiM Ultra?

    For the people on this thread who are lukewarm on Roon, I would just add this observation: My wife could not give 2 F's about Roon, yet she listens to music very often (she's all Spotify all the time). Whereas I love Roon, used for my large local library + Qobuz. For me, it's the greatest...

    KEF LS60 and WiiM Ultra?

    That's fantastic - so glad they got this certified. Guess I may soon be out of $329.

    Speaker accuracy is overrated

    Asking because I don't know but would line array speakers + subs accomplish this? JBL makes some PA-line array speakers one could use in a home environment, and there are other options ranging from DIY to high-end.

    Streamer or PC with Roon?

    While I have not owned Wiim, I've heavily used many different streamer boxes (Sonos, Bluesound Node 2i, Heos), also Roon via PC, Roon via an Oppo UDP 205, Roon over KEF wireless speakers, JRiver media player via PC, and plenty of others through the years. All options work well. In my opinion...

    Ascend Acoustics Sierra LX Review

    Great choice. One of my early forays into hi-fi was a pair of Ascend CBM-170s -- this was more than 20 years ago now, when they were one of the best measuring set of bookshelves you could buy at a reasonable price. They never stopped sounding fantastic. I finally passed them along to a friend as...

    Spotify to launch 'Hi-Fi' CD Quality Tier.

    This is a good sign, even if it's just marketing. Shows the whipper snappers want quality digital, not just vinyl.

    Marantz MODEL M1 Wireless Streaming Amplifier

    Hopefully it will not require Apple Airplay for Roon but sounds like that may be the case.

    Lightbulb moments, or how far have you come in your journey?

    My biggest lightbulb moment was finding and fixing a huge bass null. This happened in my first attempt at a full home theater, a freshly renovated room with a 9.2 Atmos configuration. My subs were built in to the towers (Goldenear Triton Ones) and it all looked perfect, but the bass at the main...

    Great "live performance" recordings? (any genre)

    Not my go to, and not a genre I listen to often, but I was surprised at how good Judy Garland's "Judy at Carnegie Hall" sounds. Impressive for a 1951 recording.

    looking for a simple cheap device to connect my 2 channels amps to several speakers seperatly ?

    This will work great - and the company has several different configs, like 2 into 1, 4 into 2. Because it's passive, you can go either direction. I'm using one to alternate the signal to my amps between my Oppo (used for 5.1 and HT) and my Topping Pre90 preamp (used with a turntable). Works like...

    1970s and 1980s Students! Reveal yourselves

    I saw the Rolling Stones on their Farewell Tour -- in 1982. So glad I caught them before they retired!
