| Anyone read this NYT story about analog audio bars? There is a great vinyl bar in Petoskey, Michigan called Malted Vinyl. All McIntosh electronics, Technics turntables and JBL L100 speakers. Patrons choose the records from the owner's private collection and the bartender puts the records on and pla... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw Supertramp "Brother Where You Bound" Steve, You know I love that album! Fantastic album and really good sound. Yep, would love to hear it given the full audiophile treatment... | |
| is there an (AV receiver) type device that doesn't have amplifier/preamplifiers? The WIIM streamers, or any other streamer, resides on your home network, either wireless/wifi or wired. You can control the streaming app from your phone or a computer. In the streaming app, such as Spotify, you select where the music is going to ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw - Steve, I have had pretty good luck until recently, and my standards were probably not as high as yours and some other folks. I could tolerate a bit of noise. But some of the one's I've gotten recently had obvious defects in the vinyl. I t... | |
| is there an (AV receiver) type device that doesn't have amplifier/preamplifiers? @mainlymusicman - Awesome! Glad it worked out and you have a simplified system. If you want to try another digital source, of course you can stream from your phone or computer via Bluetooth. However, Bluetooth is not a lossless format and you wil... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bslon - Hey Bill. I think the record was ordered through Amazon as it was on my wishlist there. Think I'll ask for an exchange. It's not a terrible defect, but a regular tick on each revolution, all the way through the first track on both sides. ... | |

| All-in-One units for retiring audiophile & music lovers in 2025, say what? If you are willing to forego physical media, there are many all in one units that can do a great job. The Yamaha mentioned is just one example. For less critical listeners on a budget, the Wiim Amp is a simple solution for only $300. Might not be ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? My current vinyl dilemma - What to do with new records I received as gifts that have have defects? Got a couple for Christmas that have SQ defects. Multiple trips through the Spin-Clean and US RCM and still ticks on each record rotation. Luckily, ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Ned's Atomic Dustbin - "Are You Normal" Music on Vinyl. Way better SQ than the original CD. | |
| is there an (AV receiver) type device that doesn't have amplifier/preamplifiers? Yes, from my experience, the HDMI and optical outputs should be active at the same time. Any DAC that has an optical input should work. Both of the ones you listed should be good. For less money, the Schiit Audio Modi is only $129 and is very goo... | |
| is there an (AV receiver) type device that doesn't have amplifier/preamplifiers? If you are only using your two front main speakers you don't need the AV receiver. An optical cable connected to a DAC, then to the Plinius will work just fine. I've done it many times over the years. You may need to go into the setup menu on your... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Hold Steady - "Boys and Girls in America" | |
| is there an (AV receiver) type device that doesn't have amplifier/preamplifiers? My current cable box, and every other cable box I've had in the past, had L&R analog audio outputs as well as some type of digital audio output (either coax or toslink optical digital). Your cable box likely has some type audio output that is ... |
