| Full circle and thinking about speakers My first thought while reading your post was how far your speakers are from the front wall; a small adjustment in distance can make a big difference in bass response - you've probably already done this but I thought I would mention it. You don't m... | |
| Question on Streamer/Dac and Roon That Mac Mini makes a nice Roon Core (Server and Streamer). Add an external hard drive to store your music files (if the size of your local library exceeds the size of the hard drive in the Mini). The noise mentioned about the Mini (as I hear it) ... | |
| Speakers behind wall of TVs?? What the ...? Vegas sportsbooks like at MGM Grand or Mandalay Bay or VenetianI love those spaces. Like mission control at NASA. I had my own little cubicle to work at, and privately calculate how much money I would lose wagering. But at least the drinks were fr... | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? Well played, @chandybe. At the very least, let us know what you decide to do.T. | |
| Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change? Really nice mancave and gear.If you're looking for better SQ at lower volumes, perhaps it is time to look at a headphone rig. At your budget you could find plenty that meets your needs.Or... ...a second set of speakers (active? powered?) placed in... | |
| BluOS/iTunes/iMac Glitch... I think the files were originally added to the iTunes library without being moved to the iTunes library. As I recall, this is an option when adding files to iTunes. If you can locate one of them (when playing it on the Mac) the rest are probably n... | |

If your friend has an Apple iPhone and decent WiFi, a pair of Apple HomePods configured to a stereo pair make an excellent desktop/bookshelf system that is indeed quite portable. HomePods are on Stereophile's Recommended component list. I love min... | |
| Wireless pickle What @erik_squires said.Or take the long way around: either around the back of the listening position or a wire route that exits the room next to the existing power outlets, around the back of the hearth and re-enters next to the other power outle... | |
| Setting up a Mac mini as a music server, and other digital music questions I think the Mac mini is an excellent choice as a music server at this point on your hi-fi journey. You already know how to run it. It runs headless and can be accessed easily from any other Mac on the same network. It can run other music streaming... | |
| Digital Library - or Not? Needed? Rip the CD's that aren't available to stream or the CD version that sounds better to you than the streamed version. I wish I had back all the time I spent ripping, tagging, and organizing my CD collection. I subscribed to Tidal a few months after ... | |
| Where do you buy your CDs these days? Amazon has been great for CD's. Though waiting several weeks for a title to come from the UK has taught me to be patient. +1 also for discogs where I've placed my first orders this past week.Registration, selection, invoicing, and payment on disco... | |

| iTunes Hello @jackiejr I still haven't upgraded to Catalina yet. However, I noticed the instructions on the Apple Support web link for Catalina Music app that I sent you back in April aren't any different than what I'm doing in iTunes in Mojave.I followe... | |
| Is Wife Acceptance Factor (WAF) sexist? When my significant other says a particular track has "good dynamic range," it kinda turns me on. I'm easy like that. And it's all the WAF I get. |
