| AXPONA 2024 +1 @treepmeyer on the wincing! I thought I was the only one to find the Borresens a bit much. I have very resolving SS gear, yet still find these over-etched for me. Impressive in many ways yes. I actually enjoyed their smaller speakers more. ... | |
| Small amp or all in 1 choice? This Sony 5 channel AVR is under 12“ deep: https://www.amazon.com/Sony-STRDH590-multi-channel-Receiver-Bluetooth/dp/B078WG7HZY | |
| Aurender is finally Roon Ready?! I am excited for Aurender and Roon. I have been contemplating an N30 but want the Roon option. I love Roon, but if Conductor sounds better I can use either. I also hope this partnership with Aurender pushes the sound quality of Roon higher. | |
| Small amp or all in 1 choice? Hello, Are you hoping to do surround with the four speakers? or double up two left and two right speakers? Do you have a fifth speaker for center channel (voices, dialogue )? the HDMI ARC will have surround sound imbedded. An inexpensive Ma... | |

| Please help with Roon server/core issue Hello @atanarjuat99 it is good to do one thing at a time! I use AES from the mu1 to my Tambaqui. I believe the magic of the Grimm happens with AES not USB. I have tried both and AES clearly better. I use KS Realization cables elsewhere, so I... | |
| Please help with Roon server/core issue Hi Nadine, I also only stream so I can understand your frustrations. It can be so good and then so frustrating when it glitches. And everyone runs to the ‘network issue’ excuse, which might in fact be very true. So we(I) chase down every thing... | |
| Please help with Roon server/core issue Yes. And beware of wall plates, which use very cheap couplers. I run my cables through the wall at both ends, and use JCAT Ethernet couplers where required. | |
| Sagging power plugs in wall outlet, diy Hello again @jea48 , I just finished making three wall plates with supports as you described, using the 1 1/2 inch PVC couplers. It is an elegant solution to heavy cable support, and a satisfying project! Much better than supports coming up from ... | |
| Please help with Roon server/core issue Yes +1 Erik. Run speed test many times in same location. that being said I had issues with an Aries G2 dropping roon and then being a b**** to restart. Many Roon support queries always ended in ‘a network issue’. I replaced the Aries with a Gri... | |
| quest for speaker upgrade The Gershmann’s were one of favorite speakers at CAF last fall. I also think used Revel Salon 2’s (which I own) are a steal for 12k. they look very different, if that matters. | |
| Bluesound Node help I think the ARC from your tv should provide the best sound input to your node, but toslink optical should also work. I also struggled with the Bluesound app. I now listen to tv etc with toslink direct to my DAC and 2 channel rig. It sounds bet... | |
