| Whats on your turntable tonight? Nice Steve! I'd like to get the Amy Winehouse remixes and I like Fun Lovin' Criminals Scooby Snacks. Hopefully I can find those on Discogs, but if not, no big deal. | |
| AVR: Internal 2 CHANNEL AUDIO MODE. OR: HT BYPASS (external equipment for 2 CH Sources) this popped up on eBay, seems like a good deal to me, has HT BypassI have owned a couple of Peachtree integrateds, the Nova 300 and Grand Integrated X1. Both were quite a way up the food chain from the iNova, so I can't speak specifically to the ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Who is going to the local record store for RSD today? What are you after? I thought about going early to mine, but decided it's not worth the trouble. There aren't any "must have" titles for me this time and when they published the list of what... | |
| Tube Preamp - What to buy? A used modwright LS100 might be in your budget. Great preamp in that price range. Not too "tubey" sounding, but has the tube magic and responds well to tube rolling. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Rolling Stones - Their Satanic Majesties Request, Japanese blue vinyl pressing. | |
| What is the most important component to consider while building a new system? Whichever component(s) is holding your system back from being its best. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @grey9hound and @mammothguy54 I went looking for this after seeing Joel's post. If you go to the main release page on Discogs it shows versions listed by date. It looks like Joel is referring to the 2013 version. There is a new one for 2021, in... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Playing my other copy of Steely Dan / greatest hits. I think the other one will end up in the no longer needed bin... | |

| AVR: Internal 2 CHANNEL AUDIO MODE. OR: HT BYPASS (external equipment for 2 CH Sources) @elliottbnewcombjr Glad that helped. I don't want the home theater processor as part of my two channel system and prefer to use external amplification and a home theater processor vs. a receiver with built in amplification. HTBP is a simple solu... | |
| AVR: Internal 2 CHANNEL AUDIO MODE. OR: HT BYPASS (external equipment for 2 CH Sources) Why HT Bypass? Shortage of Inputs?Why? Because of space limitations I have a combined 2 channel / home theater system. I don't want to use the AV processor for two channel listening. When listening to 2 channel, it looks like this: Source --&g... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Attacca Quartet - Real Life, Qobuz Hi-Res. What do you get when you mix a classical string quartet with electronica? This. I like it. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Utopia - Adventures in Utopia | |
| Upgrade from Schiit Bifrost 2? @mattmiller I'm not "hating" on the Liberty, it just wasn't for me. It's very clinical and analytical, which some may like. It does details well. I prefer a more full bodied sound. | |
| Upgrade from Schiit Bifrost 2? With your budget I'd suggest the MHDT Labs Orchid or a similar r2r DAC. Much more analog sounding than the Schiit. If that's the kind of sound you're looking for. I like it a lot more than the Mytek Liberty which I found very "digital" sounding. I... |
