| Advantages of owning equipment from major audio brands vs. boutique shops? I went through the same thing building my system. It's hard to choose components when there are so many choices and it's hard to hear everything. Reviews are all over the place and many times prefer boutique brands over major brands.

| Blown away with 2 speakers hifi sound! Upgrading equipment is always exciting. I recently upgraded my cartridge and it sounds like I bought a new system. Audio equipment is like a vehicle, a Ford and a Bentley are very different, but it's still fun to get out and drive. Enjoy the drive. | |
| A different method of streaming. I am far from an authority on these matters, I do realize all CD players have a DAC. I believe I can access it directly by plugging in a USB and connecting to my laptop to stream? If I'm wrong, correct me. I'm fairly new at this hobby. | |

| Bluetooth converter for headphones. Thanks, found it, I'll give this try. | |
| To Bi Wire or not to Bi Wire that is the question? Taking everything that was said into consideration, does it make a difference if you use your amps A speaker posts and double up, or run a set of wires to A and a set of wires to B and simply select both A & B speakers? Hope that makes sence. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Steely Dan Aja. My favorite Steely Dan album. | |
| Opinions on these budget integrateds? Quality is probably the least issue with the Yamaha. The headphone stage is excellent. It is a rock, but if there is an issue it would be power. It's 90 wpc @ 8ohm can make your speaker choice an issue. My current speakers are inadequate, and I'm ... | |
| Opinions on these budget integrateds? I have the Yamaha AS2100 if you can deal with all the rhetoric from people who have never heard it, but are stuck on the Brand, it is an excellent integrated amp. | |
| Bands with great second albums Boston, Don't Look Back | |
| Focal 936 or Yamaha NFS 901 I don't think my amp has enough power to drive the NS 5000s, although I'm sure they're very good. |
