    phono preamp or integrated amp?

    I'm hoping someone here can provide me some guidance.   I picked up a Music Hall mmf 5.1 turntable & Pro-Ject Phono Bix MM that's connected to my Denon AVR-X2100W reciever with a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 10.2 and Wharfedale subwoofer. I like the warm sound from this setup but it doesn't have...

    General consensus on AV receivers

    Bi-amping, not bi-wiring.

    General consensus on AV receivers

    That's funny you mentioned the Denon X2000. I just picked up the Denon AVR X 2100 this past weekend. I'm enjoying the convenience factor of just sitting on my couch and streaming tunes to the Denon instead of sitting @ my iMac. It sounds good enough and I probably going to look into bi-amping my...

    General consensus on AV receivers

    Hello everyone!   I was wondering what's the general consensus on AV receivers on this board? I see lots of insight & opinions on all kinds of equipment except for AV receivers. The specs on some of them are very interesting. I'm seeing some of them are able to stream FLAC 24 /192.   Thanks...

    opinions on using a Mac Mini as a media server or wait for a Olive One

    Hello,   I'm thinking of getting a new Mac Mini to act as a media server. I already have a Schiit Gungnir DAC (with USB), Rega Brio-R amp and a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 10.2 speakers.

    aftermarket replacement headbands ( for Shure SRH940 )

    Hello,   Does anyone here know of a vendor who sells aftermarket replacement headbands, preferably for the Shure SRH940? I love the the SRH940's but the headband sucks and they are starting to crack. These are my second pair, the first were replaced by Shure.

    Reluctant to buy a Rega DAC

    I ordered a Schiit Gungnir (non - USB) on clearance from Audio Advisor and a NuForce U192S (USB to SPDIF converter) yesterday. I've read nothing but good thing regarding the Gungnir and I got it significantly less than the Rega Dac. I like the Rega DAC and may pick one up if I find one used.

    Reluctant to buy a Rega DAC

    Hello,   I have a Rega DAC on loan to hear how it sounds with my Rega Brio R & Wharfedale Diamond 10.2 speakers. I liked it very much but feel very hesitant to pull the trigger. I don't know how old the Rega DAC is but I'm finding reviews going back to 2010 so it's been around awhile and...
