Bookshelf speakers- Buying a Bargain
Started with a kef q150. What a rabbit hole 🕳️ it has caused.   
How important is an LCD screen on your streamer?
Spent my whole life, listening to music on a record player, cassette player CD player. Without looking at a screen and now all of a sudden, we need one? What doesn’t make sense for me is why do you want to look at a little 3 inch screen across the... 
Can there be too much?
I know when I spoke to Bill at ADDpower and was considering which to get first a switch or a symphony. Obviously, he gave me a biased answer and said to get the symphony first. I can’t recall why he gave me a good explanation why. But I do feel I ... 
Love getting new equipment, hate the break-in
I always have a bad case of whataboutism when I upgrade. I just can’t convince myself that spending all this money will help the cause. Fortunately never have a bad experience after the plugin. Am jealous of people who have a separate room to do t...

I might have a talk with my local dealer about this  https://innuos.com/stream1/ before I pulled the trigger on the WIIM and accessories.

Suggested upgrade paths
Definitely a subwoofer/s would be in order.  https://rel.net/products/classic-98?variant=50204774039768 No mention of acoustic treatments. Definitely look into it. Remember having a similar experience with turning up the volume. After installing ... 
Why hasnt a turntable manufacturer produced a table with automatic tonearm return/shutoff?

notifications issues
