| Separates vs Integrated Integrated amps have the advantage of being “integrated” by experts ( you would expect). Whereas you have to integrate separates. That provides flexibility but the flip side is there are more possible outcomes that are not all equal. I am not an ... | |
| Roon isn't stable and they edit their forum to hide it I run core on a minimal Windows host along with other things. Not optimal but works well enough on the cheap. CPU is definitely my bottleneck. Not so bad that I have been inclined to upgrade to a more powerful host quite yet but likely will at ... | |

| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma I am of the opinion that speaker efficiency need not matter as long as the amp is up to the task of driving the speakers to maximum performance. Granted that is an easier job for many amps with speakers that present an easy load to drive (Fritz sp... | |
| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma +1 @bruce19 Would love to see more standard filter settings like those to deal with loudness delivered with Roon. Anything to make the tremendous power of Roon DSP easier for the masses to apply properly. Also with Roon for lower volumes I f... | |
| Audio Fantasies My fantasy as a kid was to have a nice stereo. So in that sense I am living the fantasy. | |
| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma Why limit to either loud or low levels listening? DSP if digital or even simple analog eq otherwise solves the problem. You can have it all! Do one’s self a favor in 2024 and Don’t let yourself get boxed in by outdated audiophile concepts from 40 ... | |

| speakers that are a little laid back in the mids Ohm Walsh tend to be more laid back overall. Larger 5XXX models include 4 3-way adjustments including one for midrange/perspective. DSP or parametric EQ in general is a very effective way to fix the tonal balance as needed regardless of inhe... | |
| Oh my goodness! Guess how much Elon Musk’s top of the line Sonus Faber surround sound system costs? At least the speaker part. You came to the right place to find out. | |

| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma No doubt digital eq (dsp) provides ultimate flexibility. Traditional analog is limited. Understanding Fletcher Munson first is the key. Also room acoustics bass mode frequencies in particular. Use a sound meter app and white noise to detect those. | |
| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma Ironic that every system sounds different, even with “purists” | |
| The Low Volume Loudness Dilemma Compression and parametric eq/DSP is your friend. Forget about “purists”. Do whatever it takes to address whatever problem is at hand. That’s what technology is for. One must merely learn how to apply it properly case by case. | |
