As discussed yesterday, I will be at CapitalAudiofest so a few of us will meet there in-person again. Probably not a meet that Saturday as the show is pretty packed and the chance of us getting a room to film is very slim. @Rugby may open a meet for us to pop-in and give a quick hello from the show though. I’m sure we’ll talk more about it during this coming Saturday’s meet.
If you’ll be at CAF let us know here and we’ll try to meet as many Roon users in person. Good times all around.

I’ll be at the Capital Audiofest on either 11/15 or 11/16, not certain which day yet. I may be joined by a young (and new) music fan and this will be his first show if he joins me. I’d love to meet depending on the date and time, and would like to get more involved in the weekly chats (is it Saturdays??).
Hope to connect at the show!
Hello All!
Reminder Next Week I’ll be at the Capitol Audio Fest. In previous years, we did the chat from the Show, not sure we will be able to this year.
The chats revolve around Roon, other hardware/software audio topics, or just music. If you are having an issue with Roon, or, hardware or network setups, let us know and we will try and help!
Please keep in mind, everyone here is a fellow user like yourself; so this is NOT an official Roon chat.

Just Mustard
Liked Just Mustard a lot, and I see they’re Irish, so we can quiz @Sloop_John_B about them next time we see him.
My path to Just Mustard is a bit awkward…
A remix of a Porridge Radio song, Born Confused (Grove Remix) from Every Bad (Expanded Edition), ended up on a playlist while listening to some EDM or something that fits that genre. Of course, I found the original… What a contrast of meanings and I kept flipping back and forth between the original and the remix. Eventually went through the entire Porridge Radio catalog…
… and that’s when Roon started including Just Mustard into my mixes and there you go. I keep coming back to Heart Under because… to me at least… It still feels “fresh” every time I listen to it. There is enough texture and grit in there… with that haunting voice… You can change the order of the songs and get a different feeling from it.
Anywho… If you’re digging Just Mustard give a listen to Porridge Radio. Maybe it’s because I discovered them at the same time? But they end-up on my car radio a lot.
I assume you guys are attending Capitol Audio Show this week? Let me know if I should log in, otherwise I’ll have a lovely Sunday morning sleep in (before Church of course).
Speaking of new gear. I ordered these to passive biamp Genevieve’s Aurum Cantus Melody speakers. These will drive the ribbon tweeter and the existing Class D monoblocks will drive thwoofers. Crossover at 2200 kHz. Sub for <80Hz.

Let me know if you find cheaper 300B monoblocks at the show!
Edit: Seller had me cancel due to no stock. Redirected me to factory site which is cheaper stock and delivery. Interesting store generally:

Hi everyone, I’m at the show and not able to set things up so I’ll see you next week. I’ll load up some pics though.
And I’ll keep an eye out for mono blocks @andybob

Airy. 
That was the shell in the hallway to look at the internal structure. I think at one point the woofer was removed as well.
Apologize for missing Saturday I was out at a listening get-together. Got to hear some new gear including the PS Audio Aspen FR5 bookshelf looking things. I plan to be there this coming Saturday but things change quickly here.
Happy Thanksgiving friends!
(and for those not in the US, just get a turkey sandwich or something and play along. extra points if you put some cranberry sauce on it)
Bah Humbug!
