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...- CB3874

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...- CB3874

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.- CB3874

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...- CB3874
