It not so much high maintenance as it is involved setup. Unless you change cartridges or loosen the set screws there is little to do to the turntable beyond the initial setup. This is a table for people that appreciate the flexibility to setup the table perfectly for cartridge chosen. This...

Oh, I am sorry for coming on here and suggesting that Sol was not unreasonably priced.

I am sure there are thousands of ways to say what I said. Are some more "reasonable"? Probably. Why is that important here? I could respond to every post you have ever made with the "there are more reasonable ways to say it" comment. But what would that add to the conversation? A reasonable...

No. What constitutes a reasonable price is not dependent on the customer. A reasonable price for a product would be a fair price for what the product is, regardless of how much that price is. This applies to commodities and to retail goods. Just because someone can’t afford something does not...

Huh? Reasonably priced? You must mean "lower priced". Sol is a bargain at its price and is not at all expensive in the turntable world. Sol is not an "easy" way into vinyl and was never intended to be. It's not plug in an play but that is not the customer Schiit is after with Sol.

I think Schiit Audio are being brilliant by selling Sol and I am not even a vinyl guy.

Of course you are correct as I was in my post a few posts back. For @Ableza’s statement to be correct something other than USB would have to be using the USB cable. A good example would be how PS Audio uses HDMI cabling to move I2S from their SACD player to their DirectStream DAC. He is just...

Well, this is obviously inaccurate. Unison is USB. It has to be otherwise it would not work with USB Audio protocol. In other words, it uses the USB connector and the USB protocol. What Unison is is Schiit Audio’s proprietary implementation of USB. They chose to build their own instead of...

Wait, In Peru "You are" is "Tu es" and "I am" is "Yo soy". Are you saying it is not the same in Spain? Oops...That should be "Tu eres". Dummy me....

My goodness...just stop it already. You sounded like a whiny little whatever to start with and now you are just making it worse!

You guys really need to learn the origins of the "English" language. Its origin is Germanic (Frisian, specifically). So England hardly "owns" the language. There are more native "American" English speakers than there are "British" English speakers. "British" English is not somehow superior to...

Noticeably better? Yes! Considerably better? No. Essentially the same? No way. If you look at the measurements post on a site that cannot be named, you would see an explanation as to why. It's worth it to go balanced out if you can.

It’s “bass”....

So much better that I would do anything you can the balanced outputs. The SE outputs are the balanced outputs summed.

Obviously. But that is not where we were going with that whole concept.....

Since ketchup is mostly tomatoes, ketchup is a fruit.

No, with the sonicTransporter it is built for you and the case choices are made based on which version you get...not personal preference.

It's called sarcasm......you can argue that vinyl sounds better than CDs. But, there is no way CD transports sound better than ripped tracks...equal..yes.

I use a sonicTransporter i5 and an ultraRendu endpoint....both of which are Linux-based but I don't have to touch them. In fact, there is no way from me to get to the Linux. I get the advantages of the Linux OS without the downsides. I manage both devices via a web interface that lets me update...

No offense intended but I don't think you understand how simple Roon is to use once you have everything setup. CD transports and turntables?? Here, let me secretly laugh at all the work those they don't use ripped tracks have to go through to play music....

No, they don’t work the same. They do some of the same things but they are not close to being twins.

No, not twins.....

I knew before my trial subscription was up that I was going to buy the Roon lifetime license. I have it for almost 3 years and I am still very happy with it. I invested in a sonicTransporter i5 and HQPlayer Embedded to go along with an ultraRendu. The sound quality is fantastic and it is simple...

What adds value for you is probably different than what adds value for me or many other people. As popular as Roon is, you might want to consider that not everyone but you is stupid or likes to waste money. That is an arrogant position to take. I have 3 distinct listening locations, setup as...
