| BEST budget system. What is yours? My third system is vintage 80’s NAD 7020 receiver (recently refurbed) to Boston Acoustics A40 (I re-foamed these myself) with Google Chromecast as source. ~ $200 used if you can find it in similar good condition. Sounds really good! | |

| Whats playing on your system today? Myrrh by The Church | |
| What is the most important component in your system. If you want the most lifelike sound for reasonable cost get a pair of OHM Walsh speakers properly sized for your room and have at it from there to max them out. Cost will depend mainly on room size and bass levels desiredIf you seek the best sound... | |
| If cost was no factor, what system would you build as your main audio system? I'm good.Main system is Audio Research pre-amp, Bel Canto Class D amps, OHM Walsh speakers, and several very good quality analog and digital sources. | |
| BUYERS, What Issues have you had with Sellers and Listings that Prevent you from Buying? They should retain both views and not hinder their customers ability to sell by obscuring the thumbnail.

| What is the most important component in your system. I have a newer pair of large OHM Walsh speakers with 12" main driver I am digging as I type. They would be very hard to replace so those I guess. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Last Boezem by Kayak now Where the River Flows by Collective Soul.Started off with Bach Prelude and Fugue in A Minor played by Anthony Newman on a wonderful sounding VoxBox CD. | |
| OHM Acoustics ‘B2’ electrodynamic speaker That's one I was not aware of but it looks like a mini Ohm I, a model that I have never heard anything bad about and owners seem to covet. | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Why is everyone so bent out of shape about Wolf?He expresses his opinions on the topic, others express their opinions.It's all just opinions. No tolerance for naysayers just enforces the idea that this is mostly about selling product, not just co... | |
| A way to listen to a large collection In my main system I use Squeezebox Touch to external mhdt Constantine Dac or Squeezepad or Plex app on Ipad to Chord Mojo DAC. I my second smaller system I use Plex app on Amazon Fire TV box to Bel Canto c5i digital integrated amp. | |
| A way to listen to a large collection I rip all cds and convert my records to digital and stream tracks or whole releases randomly. I spend most of my listening time that way. It’s like having your own personally programmed radio station plus no commercials. | |
