| Used 5.1 Reciever with Tidal accessories4less has great prices on new denon, yamaha and pioneer networking receivers (you can easily find something <$300) which have wifi for lossless streaming. | |
| Adding a third, center channel for dialogue to a 2 channel rig the center should match as closely as possible your fronts in terms of timber--ideally i'd use an ohm walsh as the center (or another ohm model that closely mirrors the frequency response, dispersion, etc. of your fronts) | |
| Have you heard the Sprout100? i heard the sprout 100 recently and i gotta say it's a very impressive piece of machinery for $599--even the bluetooth sounded good. did not seem underpowered at all--the all-in-one functionality, small form factor and clean design should satisfy ... | |
| Budget DAC/Preamp with Remote? just saw a peachtree novapre for $599 at upscale audio. | |
| Looking for suggestions (Martin Logan Source) it looks like amazon lists them singly, so you could buy another single speaker. alternatively you could use it as a center to match with a pair of other mls or try listing your single speaker on ebay and see if anyone else needs one. | |
| NAD Preamp i'd opt for a parasound 2100 or p5--nice gear which will match your amp | |
| So I'm looking to rebuild the home theater system curiousjim, a lot of the newer avrs have wifi and bluetooth built in--if it doesn't you can add a google chromecast audio ($25), which is extremely simple and works very well | |
| So I'm looking to rebuild the home theater system i don't doubt that arcam/anthem are much better for critical music listening, but if you're avr is just for movies the difference between the mass-market fare may not be cost-effective for you. personally, i'd go to accessories4less, which has gre... | |
| Best vintage amps (late 70s / early 80s) under $3k? personally, i wouldn't drop $3k on a vintage amp, which as you note will require refurbishment/repair and (arguably) can't compete with modern designs, but if i had to i would go along with roxy and get a macintosh, which has collector status and ... | |
| Vintage speakers or look a like ads 1290 or 810 | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! terry reid is best known for turning down the vocalist slot in both led zep and deep purple in order to pursue his solo dream. not a good career move, but "bang bang" and "terry reid" are great records if you can find them. | |
| OPPO or Something Else? personally, i was disappointed with the 103 as a CDP, though it's great for video and streaming. the 205 was much better, though per mahler123 instead of paying a premium for a used oppo i would look at something like the cambridge 840 or a univer... | |
| Add On For Streaming i'd go with the bluesound | |
| Using an LG V30 smartphone as a source component the v30 is an outstanding source, however you need to get it into external or high impedance mode for its virtues to shine--you can do this by first plugging it into a 3.5mm M to F plug or a 3.5mm impedance adapter plug (which costs around ten buc... | |
| Amplifier for home stereo dedicated to lossless quality music per kalali, i'd see if the internal dac in the yamaha is better than the one in your chromecast (you can get an optical to mini converter for around two bucks)--i'd suspect the yamaha's is better but am just speculating. |
