Archguy's Extra SystemsGreat fun to look at your components and rooms. You're the first line of defense when DW comments on the expense of the hobby (in all honesty though, except for the size and position of the speaker... posted 9 months ago | View comment | |

Addressing Weaker Links@tabl10s Never had a Dartzeel. The main components of the pre-Magico syetem (Brinkmann Integrated, Volent Paragon speakers and the Wavelength DAC) are now upsta... posted about 1 year ago | View comment | |
cbrez's SystemQuality components in a very appealing space. I've owned Dynaudio bookshelves and a Cambridge DAC. Presently have both Pass and BJC in my setups. Now is a great time to be in the hobby. posted almost 2 years ago | View comment | |
Replaced coxswain with point guard@jond The Topping could be returned w/in 30d and as mentioned elsewhere swapping a friends preamp exposed its limitations. The Constellation had the advantages o... posted over 2 years ago | View comment | |
Replaced coxswain with point guard@mjcmt Thanks for your comment. The speakers (Magico) are listed in the components. I thought of this post as an addendum to the "RoonInterdependency" system post. Will list the remaining component... posted over 2 years ago | View comment | |
Coxswains among the Rowers@tomic601 Thanks for your appreciation! Good sound is important but so is having a comfortable space to enjoy it in. posted over 2 years ago | View comment | |
Coxswains among the Rowers@jond- With the right interconnect, the Topping does not affect the sound. It does need a low capacitance cable, o/w it's brighter and sharper than hell. The sou... posted over 2 years ago | View comment | |
smortega's RoonInterdependency@flashcider. Thanks for checking in. Most of the books are 12 or higher in altitude, or as a friend once quipped "neurosurgical height". DW tasked me with dustin... posted almost 3 years ago | View comment | |

smortega's RoonInterdependency@bayliner, that is one awesome room- it's like, there's only one purpose for that room. As for your avatar, Aladdin Sane is my favorite Bowie album. As for acoustic treatments, as @jumia notes the... posted almost 3 years ago | View comment | |
House of stereoA tour de force from the room itself to the components. Great fun to look through your components- hey, we use the same Ethernet cables. posted almost 3 years ago | View comment | |
smortega's RoonInterdependency@Jond- Indeed it is a Brinkmann Integrated- the cornerstone of my audio system. Wasn't mentioned as it's discussed in the other posts. Thanks for the complement and for looking in. Checking out you... posted almost 3 years ago | View comment | |
Retirement System 2022Great collection of hardware and software. No streaming devices, but with all those disks, you have plenty to listen to. Great reading material as well- are those Folio Society editions? posted almost 3 years ago | View comment | |
smortega's RoonInterdependencyThanks @Toro3. Acoustic treatments are uncharted territory for me; even though they should be, DW and my priorities will probably keep it that way. posted almost 3 years ago | View comment | |
Phoenix LightsWell done. At least visually, you've done very well serving both the masters of sound quality and living aesthetics. Except for the NAD, (in college there was the chant of go-NADs) these are all co... posted almost 3 years ago | View comment | |
smortega's RoonInterdependencyThanks mjcmt. One goal of posting this is to pick poster's brains re their setups. Our upstairs has a case of digititis. I read iFi streamers provide good value, but also read some quality control ... posted almost 3 years ago | View comment | |
