Perfect Path Solutions Total Contact Mega Review
You guys are making it hard to resist! 
Critique my (possible) new system. Suggestions welcome!
Ya I would nix the A/V receiver and run your video sources direct to the tv and their audio into the Lyngdorf. Keep it simple. Think about adding a second sub configured for stereo. The idea that deep bass is monaural is not true. Also introducing... 
Do you prefer tidy room to messy one with better sound?
There is one positive aspect to clutter in a listening room. It acts as diffusion and can actually make the room sound better. For non treated rooms of course. 
Perfect Path Solutions Total Contact Mega Review
One day I may just take you up on that. Boy that stuff costs almost as much as printer ink! It better be good for that price. How about those Omega E Mats or "The Gate"? I already have an AC re-generator that powers my whole system so won’t be get... 
Perfect Path Solutions Total Contact Mega Review
Thanks for the review Miller. I'm going do some more reading up on this. Now that I just did all my contacts with Silclear. HaHa! Now you want me to change it. This hobby is going to bankrupt me. 
DAC or pream
Hello. I would guess that the Emotiva PT-100 is your weak link. That's a lot of features to have in one box for only $329. Preamp, DAC, phono amp, tuner, headphone amp and even Bluetooth. I would bet the Parasound P6 would be a good step up. If yo... 
Love it when it snows
I may have to move further South. ;-) 
Digital coaxial advice needed
You should be able to use an hdmi cable that you may already have. Give it a try. 
Digital coaxial advice needed
That would be "i2s" using an HDMI type cable. That is generally the best connection if both devices use the same i2s protocol. The one PS Audio came up with uses the HDMI. There is no standard for i2s yet so compatability issues can come up. As I ... 
Qobuz users ... What the?
I just started listening to that play list this morning. Only made it part way through. Will check out the rest of it tomorrow. I don't have an MQA dac so can't report on that. There is some interesting stuff on there aside from the usual Diana Kr... 
Love it when it snows
Ya Miller its snowing up here in the islands as well. I'm hoping for more so I can stay home tomorrow and listen to some new CD's that just arrived. 
Why not put crossover networks in accessible compartments?
Because most designers don't want you messing with them. They work hard to dial them in just the way they want them. 
Before the music emerges from your speakers....
It's sad but true that us audiophiles are the smallest segment of the market so our wants and desires are not very high on the priority list for music producers. The music has to sound "ok" for people listening on $5.00 ear buds, bluetooth speaker... 
Upgrade turntable
Yes it is. Someone makes a kit. I looked around but can't find it yet, maybe someone else will chime in with an answer. You could do it yourself if you are handy with a soldering iron. Go to an electronics store and get some connectors and a mount...

Cool thanks Tomic601! I do enjoy it but right now the snow has just started. Huge flakes coming down! Burr! Good time to be inside enjoying some good music.
