Can old equip work with today's technology


I am torn... I have a high-end system well over 10 yrs old with an incredible sound. The problem is that I have a limited collection of CDs, and I am not a fan of the tuner when I want to listen to music. Those who don't know any better suggest Pandora on my TV. REALLY? ugh In the past, I was able to connect a TV to my speakers, but the latest TVs aren't compatible... is there a way, or should I move on?

There are plenty of satellite radio stations to listen to. I listen to Sky FM which has a multitude of different music to try. I bought a cable that connects from the jack on my smart phone which connects to the AUX. on my preamp. Sky FM is free, but I pay $5 a month for the higher grade signal. I'm listening to a wide variety of music now, and it sounds excellent!
I am sure the music you would get from an "old fashion" source like a TV or a tuner would sound pretty good, isn't there some inexpensive computer you can find with internet connectivity. If not do what we always did find a tuner -which BTW are selling for close to nothing- and play a good station through your high end gear it will sound pretty good.
A little off the track of this thread. I was able to buy excellent digital Sansui Tuners for really next to nothing, models like the t-60. The more expensive ones were all analog but not tube like the TU-919, I own a TU 717 amongst others they sound great playing throughj modern gear.
On a newer TV that does not have any analog RCA outputs you need to get a Digital to Analog Converter box. Most TV's will output PCM through there digital output.
However some TV's only output Dolby Digital in which case the DAC needs to be able to decode dolby digital. Your TV's owners manual should tell you if it outputs PCM or Dolby digital.

If you search Digital to Analog Converters you will find plenty of choices.
Assuming you have cable or satellite, you should be able to get audio from the receiver to your stereo.
I do it - works great. My gear is probably older than yours. Most TV's have RCA audio outs. Just connect them to your pre ins. To do Pandora you need a SMART TV or a streaming device like a ROKU - and they too have audio outputs normally.
