| two channel speaker/equipment consultant @mikeyb9115 -- Since you describe yourself as a "novice"--i highly recommend you first read Jim Smith's book "Get Better Sound" -- it's an excellent book and simplifies many basic things audio (and does get into more complicated details later) but... | |
| Large speakers plus EQ, what have you done? @erik_squires "Horribly Bright" was certainly my experience when i adjusted to flat at the listening position--that plus lifeless bass. Curious why you're collecting other experiences? Just for fun or ? | |
| Large speakers plus EQ, what have you done? Back in the late 80's/early 90's i started learning the effect the room had on sound and, going to the library (how quaint?) did research on sound and room effects. What got me going on that track was an article in [i believe] Stereo Review in wh... | |
| Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say? This situation has happened to me twice and both times they wanted my opinion -- neither was awful but to improve would have required better speaker placement and room treatment, both of which were not acceptable to their wives--so all i said was ... | |

| Current quality of Rune @sls883 Ha--it's an ancient Germanic version of Roon. Notwithstanding phish's experience and the PITA that is Roon support i still highly recommend it--as long as you don't have a complicated file structure to your library--it's the best interfac... | |
| Current quality of Rune @phishhhhh4 Thanks--i've enjoyed as well and hopefully we've helped @sls883 understand that there can be issues with Roon and Roon support although that's probably true of any streaming interface. | |
| Current quality of Rune @phishhhhh4 That was supposed to say "last year" | |
| Current quality of Rune Oh and BTW i was trying to understand your moniker here on A'Gon but it all makes sense now 😀 | |
| Current quality of Rune @phishhhhh4 You need to meet a buddy of mine here in AZ--all he listens to is Dead and Phish. I"m a fan but not obsessed 😀 I think the reason Roon Support couldn't help you is that there's no good explanation for why Roon couldn't handle your fil... | |
| Current quality of Rune I mean most of my streaming is either albums not in my library or higher resolution versions of albums in my library that i find on Tidal so my library format really doesn't matter--but sounds like you're saying you downloaded (or wanted to downlo... | |
| Current quality of Rune thanks for responding--certainly sounds like you have a unique situation though but it has made me curious about the nature of your library that made it unusable by Roon? | |
| Current quality of Rune @phishhhhh4 How did Roon "screw you over " ? While their support model is a pain if you're looking for something instant, i've never seen them "screw over" anyone who asks them a question. They always respond and try to help and i've never seen... | |
