So long and thanks for all the fish

It’s time for me to bid farewell to all things Roon my subs up and I won’t be renewing. I have asked for my account to be closed and removed so this is likely my last post on here. Not used Roon for most of this year as many already now. I can’t spend time on here if I don’t sub and tbh I don’t have time to spare across too many social media platforms. So it’s time to bid farewell.

Thanks to all that made it a fun ride and helped me
along the way. Made some good virtual friends some I have now met in person, all over the love of Music. Thanks to all your recommendations of new music which is what it’s all about for me. Found some great stuff I didn t now about and broadened my palette also hope I managed to spread some of my faves to others.

Shout outs to @Suedkiez , @enough @Michael_Harris, @RodS, @SukieInTheGraveyard , @AceRimmer @killdozer @Mr.Flibble, also @peter_richardson and @Greg_Wilding for RHEOS and Housecurve and all the others not mentioned.

Adios and farewell, I may be back one day I may be not. If you want to keep in touch you can ask @Michael_Harris or @Mr.Flibble to drop me a line.

All the best @anon77144803 I think we came here around the same time.

I’m starting to feel the same way, ARC has been making me want to scream over the last few weeks.

@anon77144803 All the best Simon. It’s been real! A phrase I used at the end of my work retirement speech, so seems appropriate.
Your interaction and contributions on here will be sorely missed, by me, and a whole lot of other members.
Hopefully we can physically catch up before the end of the year.
Cheers!

It’s a small Hifi world you never know. But would take a proverbial Rabbit and hat to bring me back to Roon currently. Maybe they will succeed in performing such magic. Look after yourself and take some more time away from support for your own sanity.

Well it’s been coming for some time, and probably better to leave with at least good memories. It’s great that LMS is working so well for you again for the last year and I appreciate all the help and good advice you have given to me and so many others on these forums.

I will see you on the other side with the other Misfits

I reinstalled ARC for my trip to Spain to try alongside Symfonium (my current Android only ARC replacement). Tried it a few times and already deleted again.

Sorry to see you go but not entirely surprised. Thank you for continuously raising the many longstanding and frustrating issues with Roon and the way it is run/supported. Banging your head against a wall does get tiring eventually so you have to stop at some point.

Thanks. Unfortunately that was part of my decision, but not all of it.

I’m sorry to see you go, Simon. You’ve been a tremendous asset here to me and to so many others.

I’ve seen your joy and positivity for Roon slowly erode over the last few years as quality issues impacted your experience and led you to look at alternatives. I’m sad to see you and other leave the product for these reasons - I hope somehow the trend reverses.

My best to you always and hope to keep seeing you around in other forums!

I’m thinking of starting a MRGA campaign.

MRGA = Make Roon Great Again

I’m selling hats and T-shirts, they may increase sound quality, YMMV
