Newbie question.
Thanks glennewdick and reubent. I will give that a try. I did not know you could route a digital signal into an analog system like that. Glad that it will work and hold me until I can research and get a DAC. For some reason I already have a set of... 
Blocking the propaganda
clearthink, I was giving you credit for being funny. I guess it was misplaced.onhwy61.....that was funny. Really funny.For clearthink's benefit, right out of the dictionary:fetishism: 1. belief in magical fetishes. 2. extravagant irrational devoti... 
Non-audiophile needs help with older system.
Thanks. That is my plan.  
Newbie question.
I'm using two preamps because I already have the Sony combo unit and don't want to buy a tuner or spend any more money. So it us basically just a tuner in that sense.High end stuff is a gift/loan. So, this is what I've got, just trying to work wit... 
Blocking the propaganda
clearthink, that is very funny. I did not take into consideration that everyone might not know the various meanings of 'fetishism'.But just so you know, even though you might not have intended to be judgmental, you probably offended the very very ... 
More Oldies but Goodies like Nina Simone?
I like Nina Simone's 'I Want a Little Sugar In My Bowl' 
Like female vocals - Check out Cold Specks
I love Neko Case's song Hold on,hold on but I just haven't been able to warm up to the rest of her stuff. I love the line in that song:"I left the party at three a.m. (alone thank god)...." 
Blocking the propaganda
Outsider looking in here. Sorry if it is not my place to comment on such weighty matters but this seems to be a topic that generates a lot of navel gazing among serious audiophiles. There always seems to be some level of fetishism that seems perfe...

How about Susan Tedeschi? New to me. Maybe well known to you guys. 
Another basic newbie question.
I'm not sure I have the ears for it. I like it. I appreciate it. I can hear differences in cheap vs better systems. But I'm not sure I'll ever get to the level of sensitivity _and_ recognition I hear described among audiophiles. Not sure I'll ever... 
So what’s the future look like
As a very new and almost accidental audiophile, I would think that one of the biggest issues with pretty much any young people these days is the cost of what is considered even decent hifi. For those really into the hobby and flush with cash, it i... 
the guess who vs the rock and roll hall of fame
I agree with those who don't care about the RRHOF. Nothing wrong with discussing who is the best and all that but the RRHOF seems like kind of a joke.....like many other halls-of-fame.I heard that Bob Seger got in years ago due to a concerted lobb... 
What is being said at the 1:59 mark of this song?
Is the nature of the artist such that it matters what he is saying?Not intending to be snarky but I can remember interviews with artists such as Michael Stipe, Robert Plant and Van Morrison when asked about certain lyrics, even ones that seemed to... 
Non-audiophile needs help with older system.
"You mentioned that you’re using balanced cables from the LS16 to your amp, so if you decide to get a subwoofer connect it with RCA cables from the RCA outputs labeled "Main 1"."That makes sense. Thank you."It appears, though, that your main issue... 
Non-audiophile needs help with older system.
Thank you. But remember I’m new to all this.The Proceed amp has posts for spade terminals, a + /-, on left and right.The subwoofer, I’m assuming, would have a single +/- input. So what you’re saying is that I’d run a speaker cable from the left or...
