Would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Prosperous 2023. Hope to greet everyone in another gathering in a not too distant future (may be at Dave's shop ). Take care!

Hi Everyone
Also wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Finally my systems are settling down and music flows.
Hopefully we can start meeting again sometime in 2023.

That would be pretty cool ...

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all. We’ll see if there’s enough interest for another get together in the New Year.

 

[anatech]

Let us know!

Hello everyone since concerts etc. are happening now. Any group meets this summer 2023?

 

[rsavas]

I'd be in for another smoked meat sandwich and dill pickle

 

[anatech]

I'd be interested as well. It would be good to see everyone. The last meet included very few people.

I’m tied up until July 10th. Sundays seem best, July 16th or 23rd as an initial suggestion. Maybe again the fall if enough show interest.

Apple music with a Topping dac now in the shop.

 

[Mikett]

I'm in for July 16th.

July 23rd is the Hungarian GP. Maybe a BBQ if there is one?
Someone bring a CLASS A for a bun warmer?

 

[ticknpop]

Yes there is a BBQ

Just subscribed to Qobuz after a year of Amazon Hi Res, A year of Tidal and six months of Spotify. We should have a session of why one streming company over another and what each found and why. I want to hear other people's experiences and some may want to hear mine.

 

[Atom666]

Can't do 16th, away on vacation.

 

[ticknpop]

Atom66 don’t worry, Rick will eat your sandwich

Hmmm, have one setting of my new trick hearing aids tuned for music listening. Guess I'm still an audiophile and happy to meet again. Nobody snicker please... it can happen to you too after 80.

Hearing aids are like $5,000 ear buds (fancy Phonaks are just $800/pair at Costco after OHIP contribution). But very carefully calibrated to your hearing and each ear separately, eh.

BTW, you need to properly mix the sound from the room with the sound coming from the hearing aids just right. Just like using REW to tune a crossover.

lol!
You crack me up Dave!

Actually, I would love to examine streaming services. I would also love to look at audio streamers! I have tried a few. Bluetooth is useless, WiFi didn't work great either, wired was much. much better. Yeah, Ethernet.

Anyone know about Roon and other applications? What I want to do is have music streaming to different devices so I can hear the same music on all floors. I refuse to buy another two Blusound Node 2i streamers. Plus mine is flaky (or is it Spotify, and I know they have problems).

I use Roon. I found it was not all that reliable for multiroom use via Wifi until I added a Mesh Wifi system, with each Roon endpoint plugged directly into a node. Now it works almost flawlessly.
