| Open Reel Curious Curious about where you live. I am from Detroit originally and live in Chicago. In Bucktown there was a shop that had a R2R prominently displayed about a year go. Ann Arbor had a very HE store that might be worth checking. At the moment I ca... | |
| Streamer Options Needed Cambridge Audio has a few different lines. I use the CXN 100. It can be controlled from the buttons on the front panel or from a remote, but I use the phone app. | |
| What is your vinyl commitment? Probably around $2K. I’m mainly a digital guy. My analog is actually kept in a second system because it is more commensurate with the gear in that system than the main rig, and it’s also the room where the LPs are stored | |

| Outer Vinyl Sleeves, is it a good idea? I had a house flood in 1985 (I posted on this elsewhere today) . I tried saving my LPs for a few years because I couldn’t afford to buy any kind of replacements until the ex demanded that they go. I had mold everywhere, on the album covers, inner... | |
| CD's or Vinyl? +1 @saugertiesbob I have always found the vinyl revival maddening, given the inconvenience and expense of vinyl. The album covers beat CDs and that’s it. Streaming is great. My LPs were destroyed in a house flood in 1985. I was frustrated ... | |

| TV Sound Compression Don’t know the answer but as I recently added a Sony now I will be checking the settings | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? I wouldn’t even let them in the garage. | |
| Validation The notion that I require validation from someone else is beyond the pail. My audiophile circle consists of one person, that being myself. Every one else that I know feels just fine with those buds that Apple use to give away with iPods. If m... | |
| Need to get off of bluetooth.... looking for a wifi streamer for my budget No one supports Apple Music. You can AirPlay it into a compatible device or you can use Apple Music from an android device and use Google Chromecast. AirPlay sounds better than Bluetooth and Chromecast is better yet. Another option with Appl... | |
| Bin dug noisy records. Does it diminish your enjoyment? I hate surface noise. Digital for me. I play LPs when I can’t get an acceptable digital version of the desired music | |
| Vietnam era stereo reference How did the guys with the massive stuff manage to ship it stateside? | |
| Denon HEOS LINK or Wiim Music Streamers? For $2K I would try the latest batch of Cambridge Audio streamers/DACs. | |
| Maximize Mini with Roon to match my system -- or new component? I agree with ditching the Mini, as the OP has also apparently decided to do. I have been very happy with Cambridge Audio Streamers. Excellent sound, very good app, and not needlessly expensive. Streamers are after all just networking computers ... |
