    Unexpected Synergy

    I have used my Sony CD changer for over ten years. I have also had my Sony subwoofer and Polk RTi4 speakers for about the same amount of time. What has changed over the years is the amplification. I have used various Sherwood, Insignia, and Pioneer receivers as well as some shelf stereos with...

    This hard to believe, but...

    It is indeed a Crown power amp. I bought it from Musician's Friend as the "Stupid Deal of the Day." I bought it to use in a PA system but never did because it is very heavy. Peace and goodwill.

    This hard to believe, but...

    This is hard to believe, but the amp in my SONY CMT-FX300i shelf stereo sounds better with my Boston Acoustics CS26 speakers that any other amp that has been in this system. The other amps include the following: Pioneer VSX-523-k (AVR) Sherwood RX-4503 (stereo receiver) Insignia NS-STR514...

    Are You An Audiophile?

    I am not sure, but I voted yes because it was closer to how I perceive myself. I am not currently trying to improve any of our six sound systems. I do have backups if any gear dies. I am considering buying a DAC around holiday time. None of our gear cost over $250 (new). I am enthusiastic...

    Has anyone had a positive experience with YPAO at all?

    About nine yeas ago, I bought the bottom of the line Yamaha AVR. My speakers are Boston Acoustics T1000 cabinets with eight inch full range drivers with whizzer cones and eight inch woofers in the back, used as subwoofers. Using the room correction on the Yamaha made the speakers sound amazing...

    How Do You Allocate Budget In Your System?

    I just bought gear as the urge hit me. I will most probably not have to buy any more in the future. In most of my systems the speakers were the most expensive thing. Peace and goodwill.

    soundbar vs stereo shelf/mini system

    It dawned on me after I posted the above that the connection issue could be solved with less than $25. Amazon has cheap DAC's that would take the audio output from your TV and convert it to RCA jacks. RCA to mini plug adaptors are easy to get. Actually, Walmart probably has all of that...

    soundbar vs stereo shelf/mini system

    I have a SONY MHC-EC55. It sounds pretty good if you use different speakers with it. The speakers that come with it do not sound very good. There is also the connection issue mentioned above. I use mine at one of our PC's, and I use it with Polk RTi4's as the speakers. It sounds pretty...

    Can You Get Audiophile 2CH Sound from a Home Theater?

    I do not care for any kind of surround sound. Now I am using two different AVR's in two different rooms, a Yamaha and a SONY. Both of them are in 2.1 mode, and both of them sound good to us. Peace and goodwill.

    What is the worst consumer electronics purchase you ever made?

    Back in the1990s, I bought a Kenwood cassette deck at Sam's Club. It was a piece of junk and only worked for about six months. The play, record, etc. controls were cheap beyond belief. The previous Kenwood cassette deck that I bought in the 1980s was a great machine. Peace and goodwill.

    What New Stuff Have You Bought? If You Care To Share Thead! :)

    I bought this to control the volume on a Crown X1000 power amp. It sounds great. Peace and goodwill. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/611zlswv5BL.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_FMwebp_.jpg

    I Switched to a Passive Preamp and a Crown Power Amp

    Well I used two RCA splitters to send one signal to the Crown X-1000 and the other to my SONY subwoofer. To me it now sounds amazing. Peace and goodwill.
