    My interview with founder/CEO Enno Vandermeer of Roon

    Thought I'd share the first interview from my Youtube Channel with Enno, founder/CEO of Roon. Enno Vandermeer discusses the sale of Roon to Harman, and the challenges faced in building the company. He shares his background and early interest in music, as well as the inspiration behind...

    I'm super excited to have them! I'll be posting pics here when the system is up and ready. Welcome to have you join in the listening fun! Was able to pry Bob's unubtainium 4 watt Audio Note 2a3 silver wound transformer amp out of his hands to mate them with. : )

    Alsyvox planars...prepare to sell your Magico's, YG's, Wilson's, Cessaro's. Maggie's, and all others!!

    My recommendation would be Pilium! Bob at Rhapsody might also recommend VAC replacing the stock tubes, which he's finding amazing with his Alsyvox.

    Townshend Seismic Pods under Rack ! or Isolation Feet on each individual shelf to component !

    Greetings all, I'm the U.S. importer of Wellfloat at metavoxaudio.com - I'll concur with Cellcerbern's approach. I use Babel under source components and Delta Extreme under my Alsyvox speakers. Decoupling I'd argue is more important (especially with speakers), than damping the internal...

    Rhapsody.Audio Listening Rooms

    Made by Psvane. They're beasts! But they need about 30db of gain from a preamp. They made a matching one that was just as over the top but it's no longer available.

    Great. We've got an event here with the Bay Area Audiophile Society one night with about 30 people. Better to come when that event is not happening and you can get some one on one time with system and Daniele! (along with Bob). Maybe we can grab a meal too. I'm at 917-837-2559. Text me if...

    I just opened the Rhapsody Audio in Sausalito, Ca! My new journey with Alsyvox, Pilium, Taiko, Dieses and Esoteric

    While in the process of escalating my personalized audio import business, I ventured to Munich in 2023 to scout for potential partners. Throughout my journey, I carried a demanding standard for quality, fortified by a rich history of personal owned interactions with a broad spectrum of...

    My experience in Munich was quite the opposite. Both speakers on my bucketlist but Alsyvox was a different league. Echoed sentiment from 2 friends who were there.

    Alsyvox planars...prepare to sell your Magico's, YG's, Wilson's, Cessaro's. Maggie's, and all others!!

    Up from the skies on pop pop is my bass test too for exactly the same reason! And I just got to test it on these speakers in Munich. It passed the test with such flying colors I'm buying a pair.

    Alsyvox planars...prepare to sell your Magico's, YG's, Wilson's, Cessaro's. Maggie's, and all others!!

    you try to be accomodating here but on your own site with your DIY speakers, you are super dismissive of all all planars. feels like poor form.

    Greetings Forumites, I was down at Magico yesterday picking up a Q-Sub (yes, lucky me), and i guess my timing was really good. Alon Wolf asked me if i'd like to hear the M3 prototype (he kept the lights almost pitch black. the crossover was proprietary and external on a board). I learned...
