    Anthony Cordesman Passes

    I apologize if this has already been posted. I searched and did not see it. High End Audio Writer (TAS and Stereophile) Anthony Cordesman passed away suddenly in late January. I have been a fan of his as an audiophile going back to his days at The Absolute Sound and as a National Defense...

    China's Economic Woes and High End Audio

    I spoke this week with a very large re-seller of high end audio gear. He said the economic turmoil is going to be devastating for worldwide high-end audio. He told me that a package of used gear he just bought that he had earmarked for the Chinese market was juswt rejected by a China re-seller...

    Dumb Router Question

    I've been doing the whole music server thing for about 2 years. If content is stored on my server and outputs via USB to my DAC, I'm trying to understand how a router can make a difference in SQ. Is my router just allowing my ipad to control Roon OS? Is the output from the server to the DAC...

    Analyzing Music Database - PCM vs DSD

    Is there any software that will allow me to categorize my music database as DSD or PCM? I'm looking at new DACs for my second system and kind of want tro try out R2R. The problem is that many of those DACs don't handle DSD. I have no idea precisely what percentage of my music files are DSD...

    TRP Internal Photo

    Does anyone have an internal photo of the Lampi TRP? I was specifically curious about how the rectifier was wired. I didn't want to open mine up because it doesn't look easy to take off the bottom cover. I was hoping someone had a photo or could point me to a stock photo on the internet...

    Line Magnetic LM-222 Speakers

    Anyone familiar with these? I just got a pair imported from China, direct from LM. I pad more than I would have but dealing with the factory at least I know these are legit. Problem is they don't sound very good straight from the box. First, I didn't get the stands from them because they are...

    Border Patrol S10 EXD Tube Recommendation

    Just purchased a Border Patrol S10 EXD with the EXS power supplies to mess around with a pair of Tri Art Open Baffle speakers in a 2nd system. Does anyone have a recommendation on 300 tubes I should buy for this? I've read the Elrogs are amongst the best though I'd prefer to not spend $1500...

    101D Recommendations?

    I just bought a cool preamp (hand built by a Romanian gentleman) that uses 101D tubes. I purchased it second hand and the seller included a pair of tennis ball 101Ds unbranded, black base that sound very good except for the fact that one tube is noisy. The 2nd pair he included is a pair of...

    Thrax Maximinus MKII

    Anyone have any experience positive or negative with this DAC? Someone offered me a lightly used pre-owned one. The whole Thrax line intrigues me but I can't find much in the way of reviews. I've read interviews with Rumen Artarski and he sounds like a really interesting and creative...

    Roon Frustration -Again

    My digital music system crapped out over the weekend. It would play music for about 20 minutes and then stop. I'd reset everything, it would play for ~20 minutes and stop again. After some trouble shooting by LDMS chief Lucas Domensky, we suspected the Lobaga Ruby USB cable I bought in April...

    Dead Takatsuki 274B

    I'm incredibly bummed that my Tak 274B is dead after less than 2 years. I bought it from the guy who sold me my Lampi TRP (which he had for a year) in August 2020 which means it had only 20 months worth of use. I'd guess it had somewhere around 1000 hrs on it as I don't play my system more...

    Questions about Potential Music Room in New House Purchase

    I'm looking at purchasing a house that has a very large basement (almost 3000sqft) with a 31x17x9'4" kids playroom. The flooring is carpet covered concrete. The ceiling is a drop ceiling I would have converted to a standard drywall ceiling. After conversion of the ceiling the room would be...

    Getting Started

    I have been an audiophile for more than 40 years and know the ins and outs of most amps, preamps, turntables, cables, etc. My knowledge of computer based audio however is barely passable at best. I bought a Lumin T2 about 8 months ago to give computer based audio a try. I read up on Roon...
