In 44 BC in Rome, Julius Caesar was assassinated by a group of his own senators, crumpling to the floor with a final gasp. This last breath contained around 25 sextillion (that’s 25 followed by 21 zeroes) air molecules, which would have spread around the globe within a couple of years. A breath...

I'm using a SHD Studio into Genelec 8361s (via AES). Source is Roon ROCK on a NUC (feeding either Qobuz or Flac from a Synology NAS). I have not heard the Bluesound but my feeling is my fully digital pathway is as pristine as I can get it - I have absolutely no complaints or gripes; it all...

Can you explain a bit more please? I run ROON ROCK on a headless NUC, would this offer me anything? The one thing I've always wanted (but ROCK doesn't do) is some monitoring of the hardware - mainly temperature. Thanks

Exactly

Let's face it, mainsteam music has changed irrevocably. It's no longer about talent or musical ability but how you look and how you can be marketed and sold to a specific demographic. Svengali producers use autotune (and a myriad of other techniques) to overcome the inconvenience of their...

I have tried both speakers in my 3.5 x 4.5m room. Like you I love EDM (but a lot of other stuff too). For me the 8351b’s were just a bit under powered and seemed to run out of steam when things got going. I'm listening about 2.5m away. They did sound great and I could definitely hear the...

+1 Absolutely agree. PS I bought Encre Noir following your post and it is delightfully unusual. Huge veitivert but really special (and dirt cheap).

Apologies! My mistake. It was the picture from TheBatsear (post 3282) that I misunderstood he was asserting had no red. I got things completely back to front! My bad! :)

Yes it is! Zoomed in to the red areas and sampled the colour values there!

Seems like red to me!!!! Look at RGB values

I'm pretty much convinced that cartridges are 80% hi-fi jewelery. Hence the conspicuous gemstone and 'rare' wood bodies etc. Purely out of nostalgia I recently purchased a refurbished Revox B795 turntable (I was big into vinyl in the 80's). I'm 100% a digital advocate now and just wanted one...

Thanks both. Yes, I am already EQing the 650s with Amir's suggested settings (to great effect). I've tried the HD800s and liked them a great deal and this may be where I go. I suppose I was curious about alternatives and what's out there really. I'll check out the Arya Stealth - thanks Doug

Hello, I currently have a Topping DX7pro/Sennheiser HD650 setup as a Roon endpoint in the bedroom. I rarely use this setup (except when the other half is driving me nuts)! But, listening to it now, I am struck by how good it is. . . . . . . but where could/should I go next in terms of an...

I'd say GLM is essential with the 8361s. It just makes them 'work'. In my room if I switch off the correction the bass is boomy and all over the place. The response post correction is pretty 'thin' and I do apply quite a substantial bass lift in Roon to compensate but the result sounds...

My path looks like this: Yes, digital volume control MAY be less than perfect, but I've tried both and could not hear a difference. FWIW I have it set such that the digital volume is at virtually 100% for normal playback (so I'm guessing any 'loss' is minimal) Doug

SHD Studio is fixed or variable. I use the variable option, makes it easy to control in Roon. The Genelec 9101 B looks handy though. I don't have one of those.

Yes, either via the remote or within Roon.

I have an SHD Studio into 8361s - it all just works beautifully.

I'll take Klaus over Pink Floyd anytime. A true iconoclast lost far too soon . .
