| Streamer choices I have the Bluesound node 2. Right now I am using the optical digital output from the C48 Mac preamp. A buddy of mine said to try the coax digital output and see if I can hear any difference. Thankx . | |
| Streamer choices Just rechecked our family Spotify account. I do have the premium at 320kbps. So an upgrade should be ok. | |
| Streamer choices I understand the point now about the 320 kbps. I thought the next level upgrade would make a difference with my Mac equipment. Right now I am only streaming from Spotify. Maybe I should keep the status quo. Thankx | |
| Streamer choices I want to stay in the $2000 or so range. I know there is quite a few players just above this, but I prefer the balanced outputs. Those two have them, and I like the look of Mac. I stream Spotify so I need something that does a good with that. Than... | |
| McIntosh MB 50 Thank you,I do have 2 other paradigm play fi speakers. I have a McIntosh MC 352 amp and C48 preamp. Thinking the Mac MB 50 would be a nice match. I will look in to the Lumin. Arthur | |
| Please recommend a McIntosh preamp Thank you for all the responses. I presently have a pair of Genesis APM-1 speakers. Right now I am using an Anthem TLP -1 preamp. | |
| CD/DVD player advice Thank you for all the responses, please keep on shooting me your opinions. My equipment : Hafler 220 amp, Anthem TLP pre amp and Genesis APM -1 speakers. Old Sony DVD player for CDs and Bluesound Node 2. Thank you, Arthur | |
| CD/DVD player advice Thankx. Right now I am just playing my good old CD's I have for years. HA! | |
| Best player for Spotify Through speakers, a set of Genesis APM -1. I will read about the Ayre. Thank you. | |
| AVR vs. reasonable seperates Thank you so much. I will research what you have recommended. | |
| Wireless subwoofer I could be wrong, but doesn't JL audio make a wireless adapter for subwoofers? If so, that could be an option. | |
| Separate amp with an avr Thank you all. I will give everything a try. I think Mr. Reynolds has a good idea about biwiring. Also a friend has an Anthem amp. I can try it out. All this was a thought. All things to consider. | |
| Separate amp with an avr Since the Marantz is a decent avr, what dollar ballpark would fit the bill for an amp. Remember this 5.1 setup is in my bedroom. The sky is not the limit. I realize their are many possibilities but a $3000-4000 amp is not reasonable so dial it bac... | |
| Possible bookshelf upgrade Thank you. The Marantz AV receiver will stay in the bedroom. So good advice that perhaps not reaching for the stars in an expensive bookshelf is sound advice. That would then give me lots of choices instead of heading near the $2000 point. | |
| Possible bookshelf upgrade It is, but need to make sacrifices. Would need something to fit both bills. |
