T+A Elektroakoustik has several streamer-DAC-Preamp options in its lines, which could be paired with actives.
One box solution
Hello Everyone,
I finally hit a wall with my health, I am almost 72 and have to downsize and move to a facility. It’s a very nice place but a lot smaller and my current set up can’t go so it’s all going in to storage.
I am looking for a one box solution, the Naim Uniti Atom comes to mind but I am looking for better if that’s possible. My budget is 15k or less and has to have a remote, I don’t get around so good. Actually need bookshelf type speaker suggestions too…so 15k or less for speakers and 15k or less for a all in one intergrated…I will only stream so the box needs to have a Dac and everything built in, airplay,and Quboz…maybe the Uniti Atom is the best solution but was hoping for something better…thanks..
If where you are going is a nursing home, and not an assisted living facility, I would not sell your home to pay the $7,000 per month. Your home is not a countable asset to qualify for Medicaid. You would have to spend your other assets, but once your other assets are spent down , Medicaid will start paying the bills without the house being sold. You may want to speak to an Elder Law Attorney about that. If it is assisted living and not a nursing home then you can ignore my post. Wish you the best. |
@lonejoe I am going to assisted living, it’s a nice apartment with a separate bedroom and is designed for a wheelchair which is in my future. It will be nice not to worry about cooking, cleaning, shopping and laundry…I am not counting on Medicare and Medicaid, there will be cuts in both.I will be looking for a beautiful widow lol,to listen to music with me…. |
My mother made it to age 101, she lived in an excellent retirement setup; 1st 2 bedroom, then 1 bedroom, then assisted living, then nursing for the last few years, so I went thru all these stages with her, each move required different solutions. when young, chasing full range, bookshelf speakers need subs but when down the road, bookshelf speakers do not need subs, and they would be a problem in a facility with adjacent and nearby occupants, you might prefer your door open some times. even if you close your door, you don't want to have a problem every time your door is opened by visiting staff which progressively becomes beyond frequent. |
