Network streamer that works with Android and Pandora
An update: I use Volumio on a Raspberrypi 4 and with Tidal Connect and Pandora I'm all set and loving it. I ditched Spotify. I feel less dirty.  
What do you have on order RIGHT NOW.
Pair of Ohm Walsh Tall 4000s ordered in December and arriving in "April." Apollon NCMP700 class D amp ordered in February and supposed to ship by the end of this week. And finally, a Pro-ject Perspex 6 SB with Sumiko Amethyst cartridge ordered abo... 
Are the new Ohm Walsh speakers Audiophile quality?
I have a larger main living area that opens to the kitchen and up to a catwalk above for the upper level. Evan said I need a 4000 for this space. I ordered them new without ever hearing them. Three month wait. Should be here in April. Who cares, i... 
Adcom 555se on a smart strip?
I like the Nord suggestion. I have not dived into class D amp research much, but given my small space and heat/ventilation concerns, maybe I should. Maybe a Nord NC500 with a kick ass pre. Oooo, now I can go pre shopping. I was liking the Parasoun... 
Adcom 555se on a smart strip?
I like the idea of just letting this amp in the basement idea go and putting it in the cabinet. The fireplace is gas and doesn't heat up anything really well being a vented box, so it's probably just fine.Another amp (integrated) that Ohm said to ... 
Adcom 555se on a smart strip?
Alright, sounds like the smart strip isn't a grand idea. I'm tempted to just stick the amp in the cabinet where it could be powered on and off manually. The cabinet isn't vented other than some grommets in the top at the back for wiring. Manual sa...

The topic is 12 volt triggers and power off sequences. Thanks. 
Adcom 555se on a smart strip?
I guess coming from the pro audio world and being a bit of a n00b with the hi-fi stuff, I'm confused as to how a 12v trigger powers off an amp appropriately. Maybe this doesn't matter as much in hi-fi. I always shut off amps first, then any other ... 
Late Night Jazz
How come I never read about audiogon folks listening to organ jazz? Nothing like an organ ballad at night. Dig through any organ album, they all have at least one ballad. But even the up stuff is good after dark. Brother Jack McDuff Don Patterson ... 
Ohm walsh or focal domes
Thanks. I know that ohm walsh 4000s are going to be the superior speaker but they’re large and the floor space on either side of the fireplace built-ins is controversial in this household. The compromise was to move the one that would be on the ri...

I had coffee this morning so that means I have new ideas. Perhaps my compromise is the Bluetooth. When I listen to Pandora I don't need top quality but it just can't sound like XM radio. I have no experience with aptX HD Bluetooth. I imagine it so...

All great suggestions. Thanks everyone. It's correct that sometimes you have to compromise. I'm wondering if my compromise should be no wireless speakers in the garage/dining room and just run wires to those places. Lord knows that wires always wo...

Thanks Melvinjames. The audiolab 6000n isn't something I've considered. Looks promising but those reviews for the Play-Fi app are not good. Anyone have first hand experience with Play-Fi in this capacity? I like the Roku idea if it means it opens ...

With a roku, wouldnt I need to have a screen in order to bring up pandora and stream it? The only screen I want involved would be our mobile devices. No TV planned.  
Network streamer that works with Android and Pandora
Basically the requirements are:1. Network steaming of Spotify, Tidal, HD files, and a non-Bluetooth Pandora option.2. Wireless speaker technology if possible 3. No amp - already have one - but if it did have an amp it needs to be large enough to p...
