Do you adjust your subwoofer
I use an SVS 3000 Micro sub in my home theater system.  Using the SVS app, I have set up and saved two settings.  I use one setting for TV listening at low volume and another for listening to music and movies.The low system allows me to get good s... 
Rediscovery
All of my CD's are ripped and are on a network drive and backup locations.  I play the ripped CD's and stream music via Qobuz through Roon.  I listen to my music through Roon in multiple rooms so CD's don't make much sense for me anymore.  I don't... 
Streamer with variable digital output
Auralic makes the Aries G1 and G2 streamers that have digital outputs.  On those devices, you would need to control the volume using an app on an iPhone or iPad.  HIFI Rose makes the RS250 streamer, which has a digital output and a volume control ... 
Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile?
I have not posted my system in this forum because I think that it is nobody's business what kind of gear that I have. I don't make a lot of posts on this forum anyway.  Most posts that I have made are regarding gear that I have owned. For me, my ... 
Need advice on what to purchase to hold 1TB of music and connect to my new Innuos Pulsar.
Innous appears to have the ability to play files that are on a USB drive installed in a networked computer.  The trick is to get the music folder on the USB drive configured as a shared folder.  For me, it was easy to set that up on a MAC and a pa... 
When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi???
Mid-Fi is a term that is used by audio snobs.  
Roon….The Gordon Knot of concierge musical services?
I have been running Roon Core on a Windows 10 laptop for quite a while.  The laptop is used only for the Roon Core. I had connectivity issues similar to what you have described with Roon and my iPhone and iPad until I upgraded my WIFI network. Onc... 
Yamaha Amplifier Warranty Issues
The warranty on your Yamaha integrated amp is two years.  It is unrealistic to expect Yamaha or the dealer to replace your amp with a new model due to supply chain issues due to parts availability  A refurbished amp to replace yours is very reason... 
Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums
Fleetwood Mac’s Kiln House is a gem.  The guitar playing is fantastic throughout.  The song writing is very good and ranges from snarling, epic rock jams, slide guitar blues, to the lovely Like Crying.  The classic song ‘Oh Well” in on the album. ... 
MQA Declares Bankruptcy
My opinion is that MQA never really had a chance because it is a proprietary  technology.   MQA adds costs and complexity throughout the music/supply chain to play high resolution music when the competition is using a standardized format that is f... 
2023 AXPONA Show Report
I went to Axpona last year.  I won't go this year.  From my perspective, it was an exercise in excess.  Most vendors were displaying gear that was way past my budget. Plenty of vendors had setups that cost as much as an automobile and fill an enti... 
Ripping CD's to hard drive
I have ripped my CD's to AIFF files using iTunes on my iMac.  I have done that partly because I am lazy and partly because iTunes allows me to automatically have my ripped music collection automatically synched to my iPhone as lower resolution fil... 
Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older?
Most people that I know in my age group do not listen to new music at all.  That is not me. Streaming has enabled me me discover lots of music that is new to me.  That includes brand new releases, new artists, and older music that I have not list... 
I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's
I’m a Boomer and there is no way that I would consider any era of music to be better than another.  It is all in the brain of the listener. 95% of the Boomers that I know only listen to the same rock/pop/soul music that the listened to in high sch... 
David Crosby R.I.P.
Upon learning about David Crosby's death, I started listening to Crosby's 1971 record, "If I Could Only Remember My Name".  I owned an 8 Track tape of that and listened to it in my 1970 Mustang.  Once I got rid of that car, I had nothing to play 8...
