Really clean, this whole project has been so wonderful to follow along for. Thanks for taking us on the journey. Does this have hinges? If not, where do you store it while in use?

I’m sure it’s somewhere in the last 72 pages or in a more recent product release that I missed, but has anyone found a good solution for a local music server (ideally with iPhone control functionality and a decent user interface) paired with the WiiM?

I think a 5.1 will do the trick for him, will look up those Yamaha's. He seems to be more so looking for an experience rather than the experience, if that makes sense. Otherwise, I figured I'd just spend a week or two scouring craigslist (and the like) to see if anything pops up. Any brands I...

So my boss overheard me telling a coworker about some custom speakers my friend makes, turns out he wants a system for him and his girlfriend to watch movies with, so I figured I'd do him a solid. His budget is $500. Needs an A/V receiver + speakers. Candidly, I have very little background...

Great minds think alike. I’ll have more to share on this in a few weeks.

Aha. We have a winner - thanks bowtie. Now to find their mates. I think I’ll take the JELabs path and try for a 753 clone, anything bigger would be overkill in my living room.

Just came back from picking up what I believe to be a single 32C horn (plastic version, correct me if I'm off there) mated to an unmarked compression driver. There are a few stamps on the CD, pictures attached, but haven't been able to confirm. Maybe it's an 802 if it came from a Model 15? Any...

Paired my A25s with a 5000A, sounded fantastic. Just make sure it has the upgraded 6013 boards.

Anyone have any tips for stripping the finish on an SP10 mkii? I've heard some suggestions of using a paint stripper like Citrastrip, then using varying grits of scotchbrite pads to buff out the radio station wear and tear underneath.

Ah, I think I had my wires crossed. To your point, the current setup (iPhone > rca > amp) is basically giving a similar feed as a WiiM Pro > Amp, given that the iPhone and WiiM are both sourcing from Spotify directly to the amp. Versus, say, a Bluetooth adapter/receiver going into the amp.

Yeah, that’s ultimately what I’m trying to suss out. I know there’ll be an inherent loss in quality going from RCA to streaming, just trying to minimize it given the constraints of this system.

I've got an ACA Mini amp (5w of lovely class A sound that sounds far better than it should) that pairs nicely with a set of bookshelf Sonus Faber Minuetto's I recently acquired. They've found their way into the bedroom and we're trying to create a seamless Spotify streaming solution. I...

Just snagged a beautiful set of Sonus Faber Minuetto’s with the original stands. They’re not perfect, some scratches and a snag in one of the grilles, but they should make for a perfect office/bedroom set.

Appreciate it - tried some button pushing (only one round) and it worked for an hour or so last night before the channel cut out. I'll repeat and add a few reps later this morning to see if that works. I've got a little DIY amp, the ACA Mini, that I could use as the amplification source if...

I purchased an Eight Deluxe a few years back that had been fully restored in 2019 by QRX Restore. Earlier this week, it started intermittently dropping the right channel, which I initially suspected was the turntable or cartridge. I tested with FM and AUX, along with moving to a different...
