Just something you probably already know, but don’t use Time Machine to back up your Roon library.
It probably won’t Restore correctly.

Thanks for the warning. But I showed only a part of my set up, the whole picture is this:


I have all my music on one NAS with a second NAS as backup.

Ah ah Quad 11s or 12.

Lovely speakers I had a pair as temps during house renovation when my kit got “archived” . They fished up as my 5.1 backs wth 21s as fronts

Always been a Quad fan, 33: 405 , ESL 63 etc . Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be :roll_eyes:

this is an SE, i have a classic knob transporter in the main system. they’re still available, used and new, at prices ~$400.

in the office system, I’m using it as a digital transport. downstairs, as a streaming dac (analog out). in either. in either mode, it sounds much better than similar products such as a BlueSound Node.

oh, right: you shipped to someone the cup :wink:

This is what we ended up with when I retired. Had the home office space converted to a bedroom suite for my aging mother and squeezed/downsized to mini desks into our bedroom. My space is on the right side. I’m deaf on the right so both speakers have to sit on the left between the desks. Both desktops are 10 years old with Windows 7. Time for new laptops.

The speakers on the window ledge are now gone.

Nope.

Nope.

Hint: size matters.


 new iPad? (that was, btw, my first guess)
doesn’t look that larger though :stuck_out_tongue:

Hehe
 From 11” to 12.9”.

Going iPad only. Wish me luck! :wink:

 without trackpad? :grimacing:

good luck indeed! :stuck_out_tongue:
Apple finally got it! bought iPad’s keyboard as soon as it came out but I find myself (almost) never using it as having to move hands away from it to tap the screen is quite unpractical :roll_eyes:

Nice set up! Cool seeing all these Maggies! I used to have the “Room Divider” Tympani 1-D Maggies
damn they did female vocals like no other speakers I have ever had
or at least my memory tells me that.

Yes! The Maggies are wonderful with female vocals and also with acoustic music in general.

Back in the seventies I always lusted after a pair of Maggies or a pair of decent electrostatics but couldn’t afford them or the hefty amplifier that would be needed to drive them. I finally achieved my goal in the early 2000s with a pair of 1.5s. My current 3.6Rs are my 3rd pair of Maggies.

I never got to hear the Tympanis - their sheer size would unfortunately have completely ruled them out for me. European houses and rooms aren’t as big as their American equivalents.

That grey slab in front of the iPad is a Magic Trackpad – that’ll tie me over nicely until the Magic Keyboard arrives.

Enough with the Apple talk. The home offices are a nice twist though – keep ‘m coming!
