    I've only taken advantage of a couple times when records are ruined anyway. It's offered great improvement both times.

    How to flatten album?

    I have a local record store that flattens them for me. Never hurts to ask. I offer money but he does it for free.

    Simple way to cast from Macbook to Chromecast Audio?

    I believe you have to click it again. Tripped me up too. On both of my browsers I hit the cast icon then the word CAST... shows up. When I click on the my devices show.

    Simple way to cast from Macbook to Chromecast Audio?

    There is a cast button in the Play Music web UI too, bottom right. I generally just plug the laptop into a DAC ifn' I want better quality. Only cast for background music so not too concerned about the quality. All that said I have a pixel so apps are easy. But I'm an old prepress guy so I have a...

    Simple way to cast from Macbook to Chromecast Audio?

    With either you have to basically define a folder on your computer. Once you do that with Google music the music will be available to you. I mostly use Plex at home.

    Simple way to cast from Macbook to Chromecast Audio?

    I don't think you need an app. Just the web UI. I'm not certain that I've done that now that I think of it. But I listen to all my music through the web UI at work these days. Plex works for certain. Not difficult to set up at all.

    Simple way to cast from Macbook to Chromecast Audio?

    Use Google Music to cast. Simply point Google Music to your iTunes music library or any other folder. Once it's all done reading the library you can play your music. There will be a casting option. Plex works to, but maybe not quite as simple.

    JVC does not get much respect

    I just found a JVC AX-R551 for $12 at a thrift. I cleaned it up and everything seems to be working.

    Yes, toslink to mini toslink. Connect to the optical in on your receiver and enjoy.

    Newbie Question - Warning: layman language!!!`

    The Chromecast only has optical out. Just use the 3.5 for now you may need a 3.5 to RCA adapter. The sound will still be better than BT.

    Newbie Question - Warning: layman language!!!`

    I cast to the Chromecast from my Android phone, my IOS phone, my iPad, my Chromebook via the web browser, and the app on my imac. So connectivity shouldn't be an issue assuming they are all on the same network. Using the supplied 3.5mm into the aux jack of my amp sounds fine, as the DAC on the...

    Newbie Question - Warning: layman language!!!`

    I forgot to ask the model of the receiver. Does it have wifi capabilities? If so that works better than BT and you may be good to go. My Pioneer, for example, has airplay and Chromecast built right in.

    Newbie Question - Warning: layman language!!!`

    Good evening, I use a Chromecast audio to play Spotify from tablet to my amp. Works great. My AV amp has bluetooth, but I never used it for the reasons you describe. The chromecast audio was $15 right before Christmas, not sure, but its still a good deal at $35 IMO.

    Your Latest Additions (LP)......

    It's a great record. I was at my local store last week and the guy had a whole box of used Prince records. Mostly for $10 US, which is about they would have sold for before. I was broke though.
