Good question. Got to think about it.... 
Whats playing on your system today?
I've been reripping my CD library. Yesterday I finished the Ms. I ran across a CD called Soul's Core by Shawn Mullins. Didn't remember buying it. (Remembering how, when, and why I buy music is a not insignificant part of the listening experience. ... 
Whats playing on your system today?
@ghosthouse I have to followup and say that Don "Sugarcane" Harris' version of Eleanor Rigby simply rocks it. Tidal has his "Essential Blues Masters" album and I forgot it was still in my Roon queue. There are songs that simply deserve to not be a... 
Whats playing on your system today?
My Roon/HQPlayer/Tidal hookup hiccuped and my queue went away as track and track attempted to play and disappeared. Had to Force Quit Roon and restart the MacMini. I took this to mean the audio gods felt that Steely Dan had been played enough on m... 
Whats playing on your system today?

grannyring, Yes! It  IS a daily wow! The only downside is not having enough time to explore... 
Too many cans with no storage!
azjake,Well, time to enlist the wife to aid in your search. Don't know her decor preference but I think something in the style of apothecary drawers might be suitable, provided it matches the decor theme. The interior dimensions of the drawers mus... 
Is it necessary to use the same cable brand and model for bi-wiring??
Check these out: Available in other lengths too. Work great for me.http://www.amazon.com/BI-WIRE-Audiophile-Speaker-Terminated-Connectors/dp/B00UT2FZ0Y?ie=UTF8&psc... 
Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications?
Cerrot, I'm really curious how you got Roon to download the playlists and albums. If I could do that, I would download a couple hundred thousand tracks and then cancel my subscription to Tidal. Seriously.
