Need a new FM Receiver that works very well
I just picke up a Yamaha tuner that was my sister that passed in December. Her significant other passed it along. Question at 91.1 WDDE I get a slight hiss at stereo mode no other stations would it be the station itself.

Any thoughts on the NAD C 427. Parasound is suggesting this unit. The Magnum Dynalab unit appears to be overkill.  Could someone weigh in on the NAD at about $500 not their higher end unit. 
Polk S-8 Speakers getting old
We listen to analog FM looking for a tuner too and music from rock to folk at medium volumes. I saw the Spendor A-2 speakers for about 3k any thoughts here.  We listened to klipsch years ago too tinny. do not want to go too high. Using a Parasound... 
Rotel RA-1592 MK II or something else to deliver around 200W to B&W towers around $3000?
I am not a fan of Rotel.  If they still use an internal fuse at the wrong electrical balance the fuse kept blowing. I tossed the unit.  The Parasound https://parasound.com/hint6.php HINT Halo 6 is pairing well with older Polks.  I would look at th... 
Old digital that still kicks butt
We have an old Sony ES CD player 35+ years that is still kicking.  A Rotel amp kept blowing fuses gone and one other CD player laser died.  The ES still sounds quite good and have it hooked to Nakamichi Receiver 2.  The Nakamichi is from my Dad wh... 
I have been on the hunt for the best turntable I can buy. Any suggestions?
I was looking at the web and the Regar is listed.  Vinyl NIrvana sells used high end and if you can find one an AR XA or XA 1. You might need it rebuilt about $300 but well worth it. Mine is from about 1970+. Bought from a neighbor for $50 and jus... 
DVD player playing CD's
We have a SONY DVD/CD unit.  The only complaint is it only takes one CD at a time but it truly sounds just fine.  Multi-unit CD players or juke boxes are more convenient.Good luck. Just use the best cables you can afford or if it has an optical ou... 
I Just Inherited 4,000 LPs
ElliotI am not a big jazz fan but if there are some you want to sell just let me know.  We just set up an AR-1 that we had restored these past few months.  If you have any folk that you want to sell email me ksosne@yahoo.com.  I can send you a che... 
Looking for a CD player
I know they were not expensive but the SONY ES models and Yamaha units have very good sound.  Using an optical cable is a must. 
Recommendations for a modestly priced analog system
We just purchased a Parasound Hilo Hint 6. It lists for about 3K but you might be able to get it for about $2500 or $2000. Has a built in pre-amp. Not too many bells and whistles. We do basic 2 channel analog.  My dealer who just closed sold it to... 
Recommendation for a replacement speaker cable
Try  KAB Electro AcousticsPreserving The Sounds Of A Lifetimewww.kabusa.comHe is not boutique but a true audio lovers fabricator and reseller.I purchased some of his interconnects and amazing. Ask for his suggestion on speaker wire.  
An audio rack that really does make a difference.
You might want to look at BDI out of Chantilly VA 
Any advice? Parasound A21, Ayre V5xe, Benchmark AHB2, or Bryston 4B3?
we just purchased a hilo by parasound and love the unit.  you should audition what you like at the $2500 to $3500 price point but would not go wrong with Parasound in my opinion. 
Opening Record Store
I would not do it. If he is taking his store on-line you do not get a customer base only a competitor.  Now if he was to sign a 5 year non-compete agreement the business could be valued at 1 to 2 times annual sales but talk to a business broker or...
