    Roon sold to Harman …..!

    Chuffed about the internet access requirement being removed. Will be even more chuffed if they allow folder browsing!

    USB > AES Converter

    I've got the Matrix version 2 AES converter and use it with my Metrum DAC. I had endless problems with the USB on the Metrum, but once I put the Matrix in between, those problems went away. Decent USB implementation on the Matrix and it seems rock solid.

    Your experience with Roon

    So you use a web browser to control it rather than an app?

    Your experience with Roon

    I love Roon and use it every day, but it's clear that their objectives are not my objectives, and they won't budge, so it will probably gradually deviate from what I want. I wanted a good stable system running my own audio files in my own house, and the ability to manage my collection of music...

    ATC SCM 19 v2

    Sounds about right. When I had mine, I started with Ikea stools and then bought some Partington Heavi 2 stands (which seem to be quite rare). Biggest upgrade for least money I've ever had. I still have the stands, but will probably keep them for "the future".

    Roon 2.0

    Roon 2 may be the point at which I start looking for a different product. Their agenda is clearly centred on metadata and online services, whereas my interest is stable access to my own library of ripped flacs. Roon 2 now requires an internet connection, which means that potentially you will...

    Servicing of Leicaflex, Rolleiflex & Hasselblad Camera Gear

    I've used a few, but many specialise in particular models. For the mix you mention, perhaps Newton Ellis https://www.newtonellis.com/repairs/ who always did pretty well for me.

    ATC SCM 19 v2

    I just remembered that initially I wasn't that happy with the SCM19 until I changed the stands. I remember that was the cheapest upgrade I've ever done, and I really wasn't sure if stands would make a difference. I bought secondhand Partington Heavi 2 stands, and they transformed the sound...

    ATC SCM 19 v2

    If you're specifically asking about room filling, either of the two speakers is capable of going plenty loud enough for me in a room a little bigger than you have specified.

    ATC SCM 19 v2

    Just to prove there are no absolutes in hifi, I moved originally from passive SCM40 mk1 to SCM19v2 and far preferred the SCM19. Now with SHL5Plus anniversaries, I slightly miss those SCM19s. Perhaps they were just perfect for my room.
