| Siegfried Linkwitz Passes Brilliant designer his Audio Artistry Beethoven was the first speaker I really lusted after reading the Stereophile review back in 97! RIP. | |
| What were your humble beginnings on the path to high end audio? When I was little my folks had a stereo some type of receiver, Japanese I am pretty sure and a turntable I don't remember anything about the components or speakers. That was it for stereo's in my life no idea what happened to that stuff. Bought my... | |
| Stillpoints - snake oil? It's a bit mind boggling that some of the measurements or die crowd here don't believe in vibration control and isolation? That's pretty solid science what's the objection exactly? | |
| Looking for a 300b integrated amplifier kit for my Avantgarde Trio (107db) horn speakers Check out Audio Note Kits. | |
| News: Qobuz Hi-Res platform's debut is scheduled for this October. See Qobuz Links below That is exciting news thanks David! No hi-rez for me, my DAC doesn't decode it, but excited to see their CD quality catalog and how it differs from Tidal. | |

| Burt Reynolds has passed away I saw that and so sad he was always one of my favorites growing up. I loved the Smokey and the Bandit movies as a kid. Seemed like a super nice genuine guy too RIP. | |

| Does Roon sound better? @mayoradamwest The OP isn't streaming Tidal direct his Altair uses the Lightning DS app which I mentioned in my post. So a comparison of Roon to that app and others makes perfect sense. Great nickname btw. | |
| MoFi Turntables I heard one at Cap AudioFest and was unimpressed. Last time I was at Deja Vu Audio they had one there a customer had brought in, said they didn't think it sounded very good either. | |
| Does Roon sound better? I posted over on the Auralic forums what people thought about Roon versus Lightning DS. For the most part folks said soundwise they were equivalent or Lightning DS sounded better. Roon was deemed better for organization and particularly integratin... |
