Wow, this forum forum really needs some moderation, there's hardly any new threads that does not get derailed by the rick/tn vs ranker conflict.
Just learn to ignore each other, this is just silly.
I think both setups are equal when it comes to the silence depertment, large-bore does not mean load fans/pumps. A 1/2"/7/16" system with a ddc-1 and undervolted fans should be as quiet as a system from ac.
I think the t-balancer has the same internet-functions as ac's software, I seem to recall that it is possible to control it through a network/internet(the t-balancer)
I think it's a bit funny that R1ckCa1ns post more or less is a checklist for the features included in the tbalancer
