| Just looking to stream only I have a Linn Majik DS-I (an integrated amp with streaming vs streamer only) and also a Squeezebox Touch. The Linn sounds really good and has the advantage of Space optimization, which is Linn's room correction software. I think the control soft... | |
| AVR 300 Powers up, 8 seconds, powers off Look up Condor Audio (in Israel). He offers repair service on Arcam AVRs and his web site has a very good tutorial on his repair process. He will also sell you parts and provide instruction if you want to DIY. I repaired my AVR300 with his part... | |
| Going to rip 2000 cds. Which software? I recommend checking out computeraudiophile.com, a very useful site with great information. The site has a really good tutorial on ripping CDs and managing your library, well worth the time to read. The tutorial also describes how to set up and u... | |
| Swiss amps. Worth the price? I think the Swiss sound can be described as "neutral" | |

| Audioengine B1 Bluetooth - Really Surprised Begator,Thanks for remembering. I haven't changed much since then, I've kind of settled on it being a compromise of sound quality with fitting in the room. I keep thinking about a sub but haven't done anything about it.Someone in the family always... | |
| Audioengine B1 Bluetooth - Really Surprised A lot of people in this world would love to have a Prius but can't afford one. I drive an old Civic cause my kids all need new shoes.I don't have a Porsche twin turbo, but if I did I would keep it in the garage and drive it as often as possible. N... | |

Any recommendations for a switch that won't degrade SQ?I've heard the Bryston switches are good but they are a little price... | |
| Integrated amp recommendations with A/B speaker Thanks for all of the responses!pgawan2b: Thanks for the caution, I plan to only use one or the other set of speakers, but not both at the same time. I will have a look at the HK-990 and new Rotel. | |
| Integrated amp recommendations with A/B speaker Thank you for the ideas, I will have a look. I actually have a Marantz PL 6004 which is nice. The next model up in the Marantz line also has a/b outputs.After my original post I remembered that some Creeks have a/b outputs. Any other ideas? | |
| Speaker recommendations for large family room Thanks for the subwoofer recommendations, I will do a little research on them. Phasecorrect, your comments on the strengths of monitors being lost close to the wall got me thinking about playing around with placement. Maybe I could move the speake... | |
| Speaker recommendations for large family room I actually have a nice pair of floor standing speakers, Linn Ninkas. They definitely sound better in the room than the Katans. Even though I like their looks they just don't blend in well enough. With one on the hearth (elevated 11 inches) and one... | |
| DIY Outlet Box-Help with wire choices Slightly off topic, but can someone recommend a good source for the aluminum box to house the outlets? | |
| Computer for Squeesbox Touch BedelSounds like you plan will work fine if the netbook has wifi and you download squeezebox media server onto it. I think you can also attach a USB hard drive directly to the SBT to read files. The processing power of the SBT is limited so if you... | |
| Computer for Squeesbox Touch Bedel,You don't mention whether you already have a network in your home or not. If you do, you could use a network attached storage (NAS) device to store media. I have a ReadyNas DUO on my network which runs Logitech media server. The NAS is in my... |
