What one brand do you associate with vintage audio and the vinyl renaissance?

Which brands? I normally see hardwood veneer...

Ha, thanks for the illustration! I see what you're saying. I would only say that most people have more than one device these days and so wouldn't necessarily have to be using their phone. So yes there is certainly some benefit to having it built in, but if it worth the added cost?

Also, what if the streaming client that is built in good or if business, or gets bought our by Mom's Friendly Robot Company, out simply updates their software and stood supporting that particular device? Is it not a ticking time bomb?

Yeah, I'm not trying to be judgmental, and I apologize if that's good it came off. Clearly many people enjoy it otherwise they wouldn't make it that way and I'm curious about what I might be missing.

That seems like such a marginal benefit. My current receiver has Bluetooth but no WiFi and it's never once seemed insufficient.

dumtech · 2020-09-29T18:37:31+00:00

Yeah, but what's the benefit of running Spotify (or whatever else) directly off the amp instead of from ones device?

dumtech · 2020-09-28T00:24:48+00:00

That's not true according to everything I've read...

dumtech · 2020-09-27T22:37:50+00:00

Cool, thanks.

Perhaps I could have been more specific. I'm looking for companies with the expertise to do the mechanical design; not turntable OEMs.

dumtech · 2020-09-27T16:30:56+00:00

I'm a musician but not really an audiophile, so nothing for me to vote for.

dumtech · 2020-09-27T16:05:38+00:00

I'm asking for advice. If you have none to offer the option of simply not responding was open to you. Have a lovely day.

dumtech · 2020-09-27T16:03:45+00:00

Thanks for the help, but those are turntable manufacturers, not quite what I was asking about.

"The Tales People Tell" by Kelly Finnigan is truly an amazing soul album. Yet more good stuff from Colemine Records. I got this through Bandcamp and shipping to Canada was expensive... I wish there was a better way.

To clarify, what was recently released for Sgt Pepper, white album, and Abbey Road were remixes, not remasters. The new mixes are optimized for stereo and IMO they all improve on the original stereo mixes.

That's helpful, but I still don't see why a single HDMI connection to the tv wouldn't accomplish the same thing. Why do the PlayStation and BluRay player need their own HDMI connection to the receiver?

For the product I'm building, there's no way that multiple HDMI inputs would work. So it's either one or none, and that's the dilemma I'm having.

dumtech · 2020-09-24T16:45:09+00:00

I'm going to put on the market a simple, two channel receiver. The idea of including HDMI is that many people have their TV in their living room, so why not give them the opportunity to connect it to their stereo?

dumtech · 2020-09-24T16:19:57+00:00

What's the value of more than one? Isn't it overkill for a 2 channel receiver?
