| Whats on your turntable tonight? Just having a little fun brother slaw. | |
| Visiting audio stores? @chrshanl37 I think I misinterpreted your remarks. I think we're on the same page. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Steely Dan "Everything Must Go" German Were they singing in German, or was it a German import? :) | |
| New setup I think any of those would be an improvement. Getting an integrated with HTBP for two channel listening will be a significant upgrade over using an AV receiver. I can’t speak to all of the units you mentioned, but our local music club meets at a l... | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? I meant to mention earlier that if you want to stream over wireless and are looking at a device that doesn't have wireless capability, it's really easy and inexpensive to set up a wireless access point. It's like a wireless receiver that you can ... | |
| Visiting audio stores? While travel bans may mitigate the situation temporarily they cannot stop the inevitable, their sole purpose is to improve the optics. I've been trying to avoid this thread and any others that deal with the outbreak, and will probably regret st... | |

| A secondary system to enjoy. I have 3 secondary systems, 4 if you count my Bluesound Pulse speakers. I have one in my home office, one in my computer room, and one in my bedroom. The Bluesound speakers are more of a portable self-contained system. | |
| Fairly new to streaming. Where to start? The TEAC NT-505 is both a streamer and DAC and was a noticeable improvement over my Bluesound Node 2. It also allows me to stream files from my network. I paid less than $2K. The Lumin D2 is the other one I'd look at around your budget. Retail... | |
| Looking for a hybrid integrated to do it all! Peachtree has always been on my radar but how do they typically sound?Peachtree uses Class D amplification, and has a pretty neutral sound signature. If there's any defining characteristic to it, it's just a little rolled off in the highs. There... |
