This may prevent some of us who tend to go through lots of gear from receiving 1099-K forms next year because of casual sales over $600. The threshold used to be $20,000 but the Democrats changed it to $600 in 2021. Beginning in 2024, that basic reporting threshold will be increased from $600...

I recently had two 20 amp 12 awg lines run to the wall where my audio system is. My intent and understanding was that they would run continuous wires from the breaker box to the two outlets in the wall. Well, when I went up in the attic, I saw that they used some sort of junction boxes, one for...

As my current AVR's front left channel has cratered and it may not be worth it to repair it, I'm looking to get a new AVR. I currently run a 5.1 system. As posted in the title, my Krell power amp for the front main channels has input sensitivity of 2.71 Vrms and 26.4 dB of gain. I drive the...

And it's only $17,000! Includes Room Perfect room correction technology. Thoughts? https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2022/02/16/mcintosh-mx180-a-v-processor/

I run a basic 5.1 system, but I do want a powerful AVR because I want to use the internal amp for the center and surround channels(tower speakers). I don't do any gaming. My content is cable TV and Blu-ray movies from my Oppo 203 UHD player via HDMI. My TV is a Sony 75" 900E. I use a Krell...

Has anyone sold a set of two speakers on ebay? It appears that their shipping calculator will only calculate the shipping cost for one package. So, you cannot come up with a price for your listing that represents both speaker packages. It's a shame, because ebay does offer almost a 50%...

I love AH for sure, but I do visit other sites as well. Does anybody know what is going on over at Audio Science Review? The site has been down, for me at least, for the last two days. Has their URL changed, by chance? Thanks.

Hi all, I'm going to have an electrician run a dedicated 20 amp line for my audio system and I want to purchase and have him install an audio grade, or hospital grade outlet. I don't know much about such outlets, but I've heard of Hubbell and Oyaide outlets. I plan to run Romex 10/2 wire to...

Okay, I'd be interested in upgrading my AVR-X5200 if the newer decoders can offer a better experience in terms of sound quality and dialog intelligibility, spatial cues, etc. in Blu-Ray movies. The reason I put Dolby True HD in the title is that I run a 5.0 system, so Atmos is irrelevant at...

It seems like I read some time back that the absence of a center speaker will cause some sort of compression in multi-channel film tracks. I'm not sure if this was with DTS or Dolby, or both. Anyway, I was watching Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom recently, and it seemed like the T-rex roar was...

If you are considering a Yamaha RX-V1800, this is the one to get, as it may be the only complete package available on the internet at this time. The 130 watt per channel RX-V1800 was the next to the top of the line Yamaha AVR that year. The RX-V3800 offered 10 additional watts per channel and a...

So, I signed up for Amazon Music Unlimited on the $0.99/3 months deal today. I figured, for 99 cents, I couldn't go wrong trying it out. The highs actually sound pretty decent sitting here at my laptop PC, but highs are all there really are. Not much mids and certainly no bass. Hence my interest...

Trying to help my son, who is not picky and not at all an audiophile, find a receiver with Bluetooth and internal Wi-fi. He wants Bluetooth, but doesn't even want to pay for built-in Wi-fi, but he does listen to Pandora so I thought I might pitch in so he can get one with Wi-fi and Pandora...
