Howdy, folks!
I am still new to the community and am full of under-informed questions :eek:. My research since my last post has led me to some obscure corners of the internet; namely

vintage...

I got my eye on it. The list should be getting shorter...this isn't getting any easier...but it shore eez fun

Could I use this to connect the computer to a vintage Yamaha CA-810 integrated amp?

I'd trade volume for clarity if its a choice. Would that hk sound far & away better than the denon 1912 in a 2ch setup with the same speakers? Price is the same once you throw in the dock (actually...

I need 2.0 speakers, something to push them and something to take my i-sources and make them the best they can be. I want to keep it around a grand. Seems like I can get better value in used pieces...

Any thoughts on how these would pair with the Adcom 5400 /Adcom 450 @SDA1C posted today?

I think I want to buy this. I'm close to going with a 2ch setup instead of the Denon 1912 & Monitor series 5.1 setup I posted about last week. I really don't need 5.1 (like, at all) but its a great...

Hi! I'm in Athens and just need a reason to take a scoot up the hills ;-)

what would you need for the set? any other spare components for sale? I'm building a system from scratch and am caught...

thirdsies?

@tim, @seren,

from page 1:

"a high percentage of what I'll be spinning is audience recordings of live performances. I want to recreate the sound field as accurately as possible so I can detect...

If I get just the towers and a 2.0 amp, is there an AirPlay supported device to receive the signal from iTunes? Coul this be as simple as an Airport Express on powered speakers? I thought AE was out...

So what's the deal with all the poppers people put in their cars? If its all 2ch what are all those speakers doing?

How much SQ does one lose when choosing 90w multi over, say, 150w 2.0?

I...

Thanks @seren. I'm leaning back towards my original proposal. I stand to get some killer deals on the pieces I linked at the top. I'm looking at paying roughly 40% of true market value or about...

I have very little 96/24 or high res discs to date, but it would be a bummer to have this all set up and be restricted to 2 channels in those rare instances. Internet radio doesn't interest me at...

My wife has only two reasonable requests with respect to my hobbies: no fantasy sports and no vinyl. Those are two deep ends that she just won't follow me into.
So no vinyl or tapes of any kind...

I understand the Denon having the added capability I don't plan to use, but can you explain what makes it inferior for music listening? If I end up going with the Denon will i still need another...

ooooooweeeeee that looks dope! would less expensive speakers to get me back >$1k be worth it? I mean, you get what you pay for either way, but you know.

ok, if i get the squeezbox, then what do i need to power the speakers?

thanks, @cnh. do i need a sub in this tiny room tho?

I'd also like to get some nice wireless speakers that I could carry from room to room and outside. I scratched that off the wishlist pretty early but it may be back on the table, if such a thing...

this will def be a music-only setup. should i slow down with hanging all the blankets? is there a comparable device with respect to wifi & iphone operation and wattage? would a well-placed pair be...

so 2ch is generally better for music? i didn't know that. i should just be looking at a pair of towers then? again, most of my music is not actually from cds but i do have a lot from them.

Wow, thanks for the quick posts! I didn't know CDs were only 2ch. Most. My stuff is flac->alac or (unfortunately) mp3. The other stuff you said is why over my head. n00b'd

Would a pair of well...

Howdy, folks,

I'm planning to build a dedicated listening room in my new house. I'll be building this system from the ground up with a modest budget. I started off aiming to keep it under a...
