Hi,

My name is Chris. I am new to this forum.

I need some advice. I have a mixture of stereo components including:

Receiver Yamaha HTR5550

CD changer Onkyo Dx-V380

Speakers Bose 201 series IV

Sub JBL Sub135

I pieced these components together based on what was on sale, not because I thought that they were complimentary to each other. I used this system in my workshop and garage so the goal was to get some sound, save space, and save money.

We recently moved to a new house and the needs have changed.

can anybody tell me the prices on a new NAD c315bee,c320bee and c325bee? thanks. also, is there any store that sells them online, or are they only through dealers?

After years of wanting to be an audiophile I'm finally in a financial position to do it and have started to research equipment. One thing I've noticed is that there currently seems to be a huge focus on home theaters. Everything at the big box stores is HT and all of the higher end stores in my area seem to have "theater" in their name. Personally I don't have time to sit down and watch a 2 hr movie very often so 95% of the time I'm listening to music. I can't see paying for 4 or 5 extra channels and speakers that will rarely get used since I mostly listen to music.

I'm looking into ripping my cd collection to a hard drive source(as flac files). I've read reviews about sonos, olive opus, transporter etc. I've learned a lot about the different systems and how they work but there are a few basics I'd like some help with. The DAC, or audio card, are obviously very important on how the digital file sounds when played back, but how important is the optical device in saving the binary down to the hard drive.

I was wondering why more phono stages don't have at least a switchable subsonic filter? The vast majority of records seem to have at least some warp, which causes significant woofer movement and wasted power, at least on any speakers with true deep bass response. OK - I've heard that purists feel that it screws up the sound, but is this true? Maybe the manufacturers feel that the inclusion of such a filter will turn off the potential market for their product?
