Love the LS50W. Bang for the buck. Hard to beat !

[Jazzfan_NJ (Listening to JAZZ since 1972!)]

So just how do the Star Wars tuning devices add to the sound? Hyperspeed transients? Light saber glow?

It’s simple, I’m just a big kid at 53!

Are there ifi Audio fans out there? I’m still happy with my setup

[danny (Danny Dulai)]

ooo, I like your stand… what is it?

[Rainero]

Thanks! It’s the iRack, also coming from ifi.

[Jason]

Great looking iFi stack! Can you list all the gear in that stack?

Thanks!

[Rainero]

Thanks Jason! Sure, It is a combination power improvement (igalvanic and iUSB 3.0) and audiophile transportation device (idac 2 and itube 2). I also use ifi’s cable setup. The whole system mostly follows ifi’s recommendations. I also use a ground wire (ifi‘s groundhog) to connect the iUSB with the main power source. The system runs rock solid without issues and really sounds nice!

I have an 8c setup and I use a Puritan power conditioner (PSM136). This provides the power and conditioning for my set up.
I use the 8c with an Aurilac Aries G1 with Roon running on a QNAP Nas device. That also holds my own music library. Tidal is my streaming source.

This is my modest Roon based audio set up.
Photo is self-explanatory.

[J.D]

Lovely! Great matching !

Absolutely beautiful rack, truly stunning. And not a turntable in sight. This man is committed to the streaming lifestyle. A Roon role model. My compliments.

[Nicolas_Will]

I’ve shown my setup before, but here is its current status:

I’ve also been involved in designing, integrating and installing a few Roon-based systems than I am now remotely maintaining.

In the Washington State mountains, a couple of hours of Seattle, USA:

In Dar Es-Salaam, Tanzania:
