| Low volume (loudness) listening 5/7/2026 Update: Using the Parametric EQ I am trying: @ 500Hz +4dB @ 3000Hz +3dB Sounds much better. Thanks again. | |
| Low volume (loudness) listening Thank you all. I think that I will start with an understanding of the Fletcher Munson Curve and then tackle the Roon equalizer. I will let you know how it works. PS. My wife never asked how much the speakers cost, so I tread lightly. | |
| New speakers or new car? I have a 13 year old BMW. Time for anew car. But I am retired and drive 300 miles a month, gym, market, doctors, visit friends. But speakers I listened to them every day. So I spent my down payment money on new speakers. The car will have to wait... | |
| What are My Options for Ripping My CD Collection ? I ripped 500 plus during covid. I bought a fast cd player for my macbook air. Cut ripping time by more than half over Apple’s basic unit. Well worth the money. | |

| I hope I made good choices with new gear. Comments? congrats on all your new toys. Enjoy! A few things I have learned: Live with what you have. Listen carefully. Make one change at a time and listen. That change might be a new piece of gear, a new rug, a new cable, or moving the speakers. ... | |
| Sudden Hearing Loss and Impact on Music Enjoyment Sorry to hear of your loss. I have tinnitus in my left ear. I recommend reading Of Sound Mind: How Our Brain Constructs a Meaningful Sonic World by Nina Kraus. She is a professor of neurobiology at Northwestern University. Good luck. | |
| Need Amp Advice from the Collective re: @signaforce, I have a pair of Magnapan 1.7i speakers powered by an old Moon 330A. Seems to be a good match. I added a pair of Rel T/7 subwoofers, which help with the bass. Try a used 330A, around $2500. | |
| Streaming Is To Audio What Red Plastic Cups Are To Wine My physical therapist says that I should get up and walk around every 20 to 30 minutes. Sitting for an hour or more is bad for my back. So, can I deduct the cost of my turntable and vinyl as a medical expense? | |
| The argument against upgrading Will the upgrade give you more enjoyment than using the money for something else such as a gift to your kids/grandchildren, a home improvement, a vacation or other need/want? Which would you value more? | |
| New Home Owner - looking for advice For what it's worth. We have a 90 year old house. So no prewiring. I use Roon with a MacBook Air as my core and with a hard drive containing about 1TB of ripped CDs. My main system uses a Moon 390 preamp/streamer/dac. My second system is no m... | |
| How to dispose of your system? I am a retired CFP, Certified Financial Planner. I worked in a trust and estate law office for 8 years. We told people that if they were going to leave gifts ($) when they died yet could afford to give those gifts at that time, do so. This allo... | |
| I lately wonder why I’m an Audiophile. I was a poor audiophile in my 20s and 30s. Pretty much coasted for 35 years and taken up the addiction for the last 5 years or so. The one constant is the music. And struggling with a buzzing cable in my home office. The music brings back fon... | |
| Why not more wireless connections? I have no technical knowledge on wireless versus wired, just my own user experience. My experience is that wireless can be much more convenient, when it is working. At the gym, no wires is a must. At home, a traditional CD player into a good DA... | |
| Moving Roon to new core Thanks. I did a forced back up and copied that to an external hard drive. Next, as I understand it would be to de-authorize the current core (macbook air), authorize the nucleus and copy the back up onto the nucleus (new core). Have I got it rig... |
