| What player to stream Amazon HD with? "I use my phone to send Amazon HD to Chromecast Audio via Wifi, then toslink cable from CCA to my DAC. I agree with other made points; the app is unrefined, but the ultra HD music is wonderful."Iluvsansui,Thanks for posting this. I truly wish and... | |
| Noob, need help please To answer your question from above, an integrated amp has no tuner for AM and FM but integrates a preamplifier and an amplifier into one unit. Somethng to seriously consider. So many people have gotten into and out of home theater that I think it ... | |
| Beware: New (at least to me) scam being run on Audiogon members My intent in the original post was to offer a warning about a scam that I felt was being run and not to lay out a case for prosecution. Nevertheless at this point I feel it warranted to provide further facts for the benefit of the skeptics.The ite... | |
| Beware: New (at least to me) scam being run on Audiogon members Nothing suspicious about someone reading a Wanted post on a forum and within hours of it’s posting reaches out to that poster on a totally different forum after registering for the first time offering that very item and after offering it at a too ... | |

| Beware: New (at least to me) scam being run on Audiogon members "@OP,How did you know that it was a scam?B"His response on Agon to my WANTED posting on the other forum was within hours of my post there which was immediately suspicious to me.

| Swapped long wall to short wall and now I am having some big issues Before you do a lot of radical stuff, try something simple. Here it is.

| Best budget preamp for my entry level system? For well under $300 you can get a B&K Reference 20 or even a Reference 30 preamp and, although not 2 channel, they perform exceptionally well in 2 channel. These originally sold for around $2500 and have a lot to offer. I own one of each along... |
