| newbie seeks advice I can give limited advice but there may not be any benefit to it.I am a novice as well. I also inherited a system. And I like it.At its core is a Proceed HPA2 (Levinson) amp (250 wpc) which is basically like two monoblocks in one (100 pound) case ... | |
| Best solution to send digital files to my DAC I'm a novice when it comes to hi-fi but I am using my Mac as a music server connected to my DAC via USB.This is a very simple solution and since I use iTunes I can run it all from my chair with Apple Remote on my cell phone.There are certain thing... | |
| CD no more produced? @astewart8944 , my server is an old iMac. My DAC is a low end piece of Schiit (Modi 2 Uber).When I compare the iMac with an Arcam CD 92 as transport and both run through the same DAC I can hear little or no difference.But, when using the Arcam's D... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Tonight listening to The Best of INXS on CD. Man that band put out a bunch of hits and even though a couple of them are dated the rest have held up pretty well. This CD also sounds quite good.A true shame about Michael Hutchence. So many of these ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? I peruse this thread and the ’what are you streaming’ thread a lot and I’ve been turned onto some good music. As someone mentioned in another thread, we are in a golden age of music diversity and availability.The downside is that when I look up a ... | |

| So disappointed in today's Americana @audiojedi , listening to Hiss Golden Messenger right now, Lateness of Dancers. Getting a Dylan vibe from the first two songs. I like it.Just wondering where on earth the name comes from? | |
| Modestly priced bookshelf speakers for cabin. Well, I found a pair of Polk Audio Monitor 70 tower speakers on CL for cheap and I put in an offer for them. They are like new. I know they are low end but still likely to be much better than my Bose 2.2s.It will be interesting to see if my 25wpc ... | |
| Dumb lo-fi question. organicsound, you mention bi-wiring one set of speakers by using A+B.I just put in an offer on a set of low end Polk Audio towers with have double connectors on the back and claim to have a separate crossover for the two woofers (that they call su... | |
| CD no more produced? @lowrider57 , appreciate the reference to Discogs. For some reason I assumed they were vinyl only.Also, when I said Amazon (for used) that was a misprint and I corrected it to say eBay. Not every seller on eBay includes the various codes and numbe... | |

| CD no more produced? No. You can still get CDs on line at places like Amazon. Even brand new bands are releasing CDs.Used CDs are the best deals in music (that you own) and are available in vast selections on eBay etc. I’ve probably purchased 50 CDs in the last 6 mont... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? JD McPherson - Let the Good Times Roll. Trying to like this. He seems very 'authentic' from an Americana standpoint but maybe a little too rockabilly for me. | |
| Dumb lo-fi question. glupson, good catch. I never noticed that. My only real interest in this was possibly putting a couple of small towers in the middle of the room and my existing Bose 2.2s on the flanks. Totally unnecessary for a room that small but just a thought.... | |
| Dumb lo-fi question. I ran across a review of the old Toshiba (SA-2500) that I have. It is a contemporary review and says a lot of good things about this receiver. http://www.hifi-classic.net/review/toshiba-sa-2500-322.html |
