    Novice needing advice on setting up a new system with B&W 804s speakers (+center speaker)

    I'm not an audiophile like most of you, but I love music and have always wanted a great sound system for my home. I just retired, so now I'm doing it and I need advice. I'd rather not buy all new equipment if I can avoid it, but don't want to compromise on quality so I hope to find equipment...

    First system for living-room/kitchen for EUR1K-EUR1.5K

    Hi Everyone, I would like to ask your help in selecting the items for my first hifi system- unfortunately my budget is limited to 1-1.5KEUR. (I guess for guys in the US the suggested budget would be 1KUSD, cause as per what I see, here in Europe we have 1.5-2x in terms of prices vs the US). I...

The system will be primarily used for listening to vinyl records, though I’ll also look to tie into my TV and include a Bluetooth input for digital music.

    New system sounds a little muddy!

    Hey everyone, I just put together a new system without auditioning anything and it's sounding a bit muddy to me. Also, the s' on a lot of vocals are sounding a bit distorted, which I'm hyper sensitive to so it's driving me crazy. Here's what I got: Rega Planar 2 (NEW) Ortofon 2m Blue (NEW) Rega...

    Old but new to me system hook up

    I am asking for some help here. I have recently inherited my fathers audio equipment, and I need some help setting it back up in my house. Some of the components are missing, but I think I have a pretty good start. I understand audio pretty well, although I grew up with the audio of the late...

    First Try at This Game...

    So it all started one day after work when I bought my first set of real speakers. I picked up a pair of Technics SB-2560's for $30 and a 1996 Pioneer pro logic receiver to power them for $20. I consider that my first ever half decent sound system. Then I started looking around for a better...
