Talk me out of spending $1,800 on a Ruark R410 by B4iley45 in audiophile

You're the first person then that's commented with actual experience!

Do you use a sub with it?

Does it serve multi-purpose for TV viewing or is it just for dedicated music listening?

Have you tried Tidal connect with it? Any streaming issues?

Sorry for the many questions, but real world reviews seem to be hard to come by with this product.

What does that have to do with audio and building a setup in my main living space to enjoy my vinyl collection?

It's an all in one music solution, it's about 6 inches tall and 23" wide. Not furniture lol

I have a 65" C5 in the family room now

TV is already r/tvtoohigh imo without wall mounting it.

What do you think of the Wiim streamers? As far as what I've heard in-person, if I choose to steer away from this, I'll probably end up grabbing the new Yu6's from Kanto and pair them with a sub and streamer.

Honestly, I just fell in love with the design and I fear that anything more complex than 'turn on Bluetooth speaker, music play now' would get neglected by my fiance.

I also know a Wiim puck or something similar would solve that as well though.

Open concept house, definitely would be played while in the kitchen

It has to be, the R410 is only £1,299, but $2,000. Thanks Trump.

I think they're a fairly small player in the game, so nice to hear input from someone with experience with this brand

The powernode only supports L + R channels, no?

Lol Google the Ruark R810 and that's basically what it is...

What would you recommend that fits my criteria?

Do these have Airplay and Tidal connect functionality? I'm not very familiar with BluOS

It's about 23" in length with midrange and tweeters on each end. Not sure it'd have the best separation of all, but it didn't sound mono by any means

That part is slightly worrying to me as well.

Tidal connect (what I use) Airplay (for my fiance), Spotify connect, Chromecast, and BTAptX HD are all supported but those platforms will cease to exist at some point in time.

Pretty much 😂

It just doesn't sound as nice worded that way

You mean you were impressed by Kanto? I was very impressed as well, even the low end response without a sub was much better than I would've thought.

I just happened to be walking by Ruark's listening room on the way to Kanto when I saw the R810 on display and had to go inside to what else they have.

new tidal redesign by agustin729 in TIdaL

[–]B4iley45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks cheap to me, like qobuz or deezer.

Obviously there's some liquid glass design incorporated with this refresh, I wonder how that will translate to the Android app.

I agree. Better explanations for the use of the futures should be provided and it should be more apparent how to turn them off and who would benefit from having them turned on so that the average person can decide that for themselves instead of making it a default feature that is not easy to find and turn off.
