Roon Nucleus as a Streamer
@navyachts  I'm really happy with the Aqua DAC. I find myself getting frustrated that I can't get my more expensive vinyl front end to sound as good.   
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@dayglow That's what I like, the variety.  I've been on a similar journey of playing all my albums, but my purpose has been play grading them and inventorying them in Discogs and doing some thinning of the herd.  I usually post when I start listen...

Roon Nucleus as a Streamer
@navyachts  big_greg - Thanks Greg. I tried to pull up your system, but it wouldn't load for me? I just wanted to check it out. Off the subject, when you reply on these thread how do you get the @ in front of the members handle when you reply, ... 
Speakers known for great midrange.
Is it fair to say Harbeth is not the best choice for an all arounder and perhaps better with classical or slow jazz? I couldn’t lock myself into a one genre style speaker. But I love the looks, the wood, the sound they deliver with certain style... 
Best Home Office HiFi Systems Under $10,000 and $20,000.00

Roon Nucleus as a Streamer
@navyachts I'm not the previous poster, but I use my Nucleus exactly as you described it.  Ethernet connection to the nucleus.  My DAC (which is NOT Roon Ready) connects to it via USB allowing me to stream to it using Roon.  I have two other syste...

@slaw How did you like the Dan?  I'm still waiting on mine.  It's scheduled to arrive tomorrow.  
New PrimaLuna versus used Audio Research preamp?
@samzx12 It looked like the OP was weighing a used ARC vs. new PL.  That's great you got most of your investment back when you sold your PL.  Typically, you're lucky to get 50-60% of new price on most items.  I think Primaluna has a lot going for ...

Peter Gabriel - 3 @mammothguy54 I really like that Beth Hart Zep tribute.  I have only streamed it, but I thought she knocked it out of the park.  
Speakers known for great midrange.
I love my Harbeths and also have KEF Ref 1 which have very good midrange and incredible imaging. A friend completely re-did his system recently and has a pair of the Joseph Audio Pulsar2 Graphene speakers with a Pass Int-60.  I'm a little jealous...
