    Dedicated audio room build thread aka The Big Dig

    Hugh, followed your journey on a number of platforms with great interest and it is one that I plan on taking hopefully in the not to distant future myself and along similar lines. I too have read the entire post with one prevailing thought through it all and that is it really doesn't...

    Sound Quality of new roon versions (builds)

    Morning Christoph, yes I did mean the Filters and on my system to my ears especially after around an 8 hour session yesterday via my Stax SR-L700 Mk2 headphones with ED-1 inline there is very much a change for the better in the overall sound quality and spatially so thanks again.

    Sound Quality of new roon versions (builds)

    Christoph, the transition from 935 to 936 went faultlessly unlike some previous sideways, backwards, upgrades took about 2 minutes then a reboot and up and running. With regards to the sound quality in comparison with 935 or earlier nothing jumped out at me as a big change SQ...

    Sound Quality of new roon versions (builds)

    Christoph, I have read with great interest your findings and out of interest I have followed your advise and deleted the files completely as my current version is 936 on the core and 880 on the tablet. Was not really expecting that much of a difference but what a very...

    Most under-rated guitarist of all time?

    If you want the complete package try a little Mark Knopfler the man can sing write and plays a mean guitar couldn't class him as underated his solo later stuff is worth the price of admission and always good for a relaxing listen. For that matter his brother David is no stranger either probably...

    Massive Hum on Monarchy M-150 Power Conditioners.

    Roger, thanks for your input, with regards to the actual specification when I ordered the units my requirements were for a 230/240 volt output and I mentioned that I had an over voltage issue with the 256 Volts and I queried this twice before ordering the units. I can attest to the...

    Massive Hum on Monarchy M-150 Power Conditioners.

    Gary, haven't noticed any markings on the transformers that I can note. Frank, thanks for the link interseting reading. I suspect that maybe the transformersa are 60hz specification not 50hz and this could account for the problems and the situation with the running temperature as well...

    Massive Hum on Monarchy M-150 Power Conditioners.

    Gary thanks for that input. In this case both transformers in both units get quite warm to the touch and this is through the metal case. They are epoxy filled in the centre and secured with a 10mm bolt down onto the chassis, i will need to pull the unit apart to check if it actually has a DC...

    I have a pair of tympani 1D's that need the bass mid panels in both speakers replaced ( already replaced the tweeter panels some years back ) they have been packed up for many years and I am wondering if they are worth spending the money on to bring them up to scratch? If so what would be the...

    Small Business: Doctors going broke

    Reading this is very disturbing to say the least I just hope here in Australia and Victoria in particular never change to this style of health care. I have had the unfortunate circumstace to use our health system twice in the recent past ( due to near fatal accidents ) and can only say that here...

    Hello from Australia

    I would be interested in your opinion on the Paragons as I looked very closely at a pair of these and had a number of auditions with Colin so would very much like your take on the speakers, superb build quality and I assume still powered by the Moon equipment?

    Are low-priced cables a scam?

    Myles in fact I gave no instructions, to the contrary I simply asked them to record their impressions not to make a choice on the various configurations good bad or otherwise. Many of the comments reflected this but the direction was very mixed amongst the group this was the interesting part of...
