Hey dbphd,    Excellent! Just a few more questions if you don't mind:1. Do you plan on running the LS50s full-range, with the amp connected direct from the Oppo-205 front l+r mains outputs or are you going to run them only from 80 Hz on up, wit... 
Why No McIntosh Recommendations?
      McIntosh always reminds me of equipment owned by a middle aged guy who listens to Sinatra or Perry Como lps on still dressed in his work suit in the evening with a cocktail and maybe smoking a cigar or pipe.  He'd usually also have a new or ...

Perception
rvpiano:"I don’t think I’m a unique case. So much of what we perceive in audio is controlled by our psyches."Hello rvpiano,     I think this statement from your opening post on this thread is a very good summation and a fundamental truth that most... 
1 receiver for HT and 2 channel?
     I agree with soix but instead of an AVR substitute a top-line 4K Bluray player and a good multi-ch amp for the surround channels.  This will outperform virtually any AVR and you'll gain a very good video processor through this method.Tim 
Television technology - where are we?
Hello nonoise,          Yes, that Samsung Micro-LED technology does look very promising.  I think each pixel being emissive is a big deal that's really the core reason that OLED and plasma have such clearly superior picture quality along with the ...

Hello dbphd,     That's good news.      Yes, an HDMI cable will be connected from the HDMI main output on the Cox cable box to the HDMI input on the 205. Another HDMI cable is connected from the HDMI OUT (Main) on the 205 to the Main HDMI Input on... 
Perception
nonoise:"Think how bad it would be if I had 4 stomachs and a cud to chew."Hello nonoise,     Geoffkait's been telling everyone you have all those things, are a methane machine and you get milked once a day.  My sympathies, it must be udderly awful... 
1 receiver for HT and 2 channel?
     Another option is to use a high quality 4K Blu-ray player that has a good video processor, good quality 7.1 dacs with 7.1 channel analog outputs, the ability to play cds and has a very good audio section combined with separate amplification f...

nonoise:"Not that I needed a reason to eat cheese, now I have an excuse. Thanks for the link."Hello nonoise,     I don't mind you eating all that cheese, either.  It's all that cutting of it you're constantly doing that bothers me.Tim 
Grounding my Silvertone
Hello silvertonegirl,    I just wanted to apologize for my initial post.  It was a spur of the moment post and I now regret it because 1. It wasn't as funny as I first thought, and 2. You seem like a nice person that was just excited to rescue a s...

Hello dbphd,1."How can you connect two amps to one speaker?"       Your Ayre VX-5 amp has XLR and RCA inputs.  The Oppo205 has both outputs for the L+R stereo/ L+R front mains and your Ayre preamp has both outputs.  Both can be connected and, sinc... 
Grounding my Silvertone
silvertonegirl:"Any suggestions for how to make this record player safe?"Yes, turn it off immediately and deposit in the nearest dumpster.

Hello dbphd,     Oh, great!  You're soon to be another famous resident and you'll be known as 'The Green Amp Old Man of Montecito'.  I can't wait.     Okay, your post clears things up for me, thanks.     Now I'm thinking about how to best configur...
