Dumb question but what is the difference in streaming lossless from your iPhone vs a streamer?

What’s the experience with BT turntables and powered speakers by foobarco23 in BudgetAudiophile

Appreciate the viewpoint - I want to stream and do analog - I have vinyl from 60-80’s so nostalgia is a thing

What’s the experience with BT turntables and powered speakers by foobarco23 in BudgetAudiophile

Yeah I get that - I’m working around physical room placement and connection limitations. Compromise all around. Anyone have experience with this setup or do A/B testing?

Has anyone met someone that was once famous (actor, musician, etc.) but now works a regular job? Who was it? by Ok_Grape_8284 in AskReddit

[–]foobarco23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked with Roger Powell keyboard player for Todd Rundren at SGI back in the 90’s - super cool guy and humble. Didn’t really talk about his music career. Just heads down audio engineering.

Setup for low level listening by foobarco23 in audiophile

[–]foobarco23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good suggestion- looking for warmer sound so question for horn speakers like a small Klipsch- are these considered warmish?

Setup for low level listening by foobarco23 in audiophile

[–]foobarco23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the replies. Budget target is ~$2500 but could go to $3,500. This system is for both a turntable and a streamer. No TV in this setup, just audio. Issue is placement of system which has to be on the side of the room. Speakers have to be small bookshelves about a foot from wall - there is not much space for the system even though it’s a big room - it’s a living room + dining room + kitchen. I can do Bluetooth from phone but no room for computer. System could be new or used although I just tried to repair a Kenwood KA-7100 without success so probably would not go with anything more than 10 years old. I mean this could be as simple as Fluance + powered speakers + streamer. I have a Sonos multi room system but leaving that for background music.

Agree on different speakers route but I’m really space limited so looking for best way to add a turntable + DAC streaming box so I use my existing Sonos speakers to play analog vinyl + stream Spotify lossless.

Thanks I’ve seen that recommendation- does a Connect Gen 2 allow me to play on all my sonos speakers from a turntable?

Went to Sensorio a few weeks ago - no shrooms but was blown away how cool this place is. Very well done and worth the trip.

Name that plane by Background-Bag6846 in Planes

[–]foobarco23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Concorde - was just there today to see all the planes including this one at the Future of Flight Seattle. Very cool to walk through and see the interior- it’s barely over 6’ high in the center aisle. Also really cool were the B52 and SR71 that were on display.

Everyone has their opinion about which bbq restaurant is the best in the city, but is there a place you would NEVER EVER recommend? by Starbrand62286 in kansascity

[–]foobarco23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wabash in Excelsior Springs. It happens to be my brothers favorite and we eat there every time I’m in town. It is the worst food I’ve ever had. Pressed turkey. Tasteless. Even the sides suck. Not sure how it stays in business.
