HiFi Kit Building- have you ever built any hifi gear?
Yes, I built a Hafler DH110 Preamp and a DH220 power amp in the 80s. They worked great. Had them till I bought some used Bryston amps around 2000.  
Roon changes the music
Roon has no effect on my music, other than making it easier to access. No effect on sound quality at all. I use a NUC13Pro as a ROCK and a cambridge streamer.  
Is anyone still using a CD Player
I use my Oppo dvd player...plays all kinds of CDs plus blu ray audio.

Amazon Selling Used CDs Advertised As New
I have been using Discogs for years for used CDs...  
Who is Roon?
Roon has been great for me...allows me to stream my music library or internet radio to multiple rooms...and gives you "liner notes' on everything. I have not yet played with the DSP functions...but that may be in the future.  
Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable?
only if you do not want to play records....  
Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why.
I ended up with my Magnepan LRS+ pointed straight ahead after trying many other positions..
