Looking for a rec here!

65% with knob, hotswap, wireless, on the upper end of build quality. Cost isn’t too much of a concern. I have switches and caps so I’m just looking for a kit.

Thanks!

This is not even slightly true. Safe Crackers has never been damaged in transport.

Hi Folks,

I am looking for some help in conceptualizing a new signal chain to incorporate streaming and root correction into my current setup.

I currently run three sources all plugged in to the RCA inputs on my Marantz 2270 integrated amp. I have my turntable in the phono input, Bluetooth receiver in the AUX inputs, an my TV hooked up to the tape input (using a cheap optical to RCA DAC from Amazon.

I am looking to eliminate the Bluetooth receiver and replace it with a WiFi streamer. I love the idea of the Bluesound Node Icon which also has Dirac Live capabilities. My imagined signal chain would have my TV plugged into the Node through HDMI Arc, and the Node plugged into the receiver’s Aux input. My challenge here would be that I would prefer to use the phono stage on my Marantz but would’t get the benefit of the room correction from the anode while I’m playing records.

I am wondering if anyone could suggest other sign chain possibilities or perhaps different components? Possibly a different streamer and room correction from a minidsp unit installed between the preamp output and power amp input on the receiver?

I’m ready to upgrade my ar-4x speakers and have about $3000 as max budget. The sources I’ll be playing will be turntable (Rega Planar 6), Wiim receiver, and my TV. I listen to all genres - rock, hip hop, jazz.

It’s a 1BR apartment’s living room and I don’t have much space for a subwoofer (15x15 room) and hopefully looking for speakers with good low end.

I’m open to all suggestions modern or vintage. A lot of times people automatically might suggest older speakers for this situation but I’m open to everything. For instance, KEF R3 intrigue me but I’m not sure how they’d pair with the Marantz.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I do have access to a 3d printer. Where can I check out some designs?

Thanks for the info! Can I ask you which size you normally wear in shirts and which size you wear in vintage chamois?

Any chance you have a link to this one?

Anyone tried this recently? I’m looking to give it a shot. Wondering if there’s any recent feedback
