    System refresh - into a Brave New World!

    It started with my wife wanting to re-winterize the living room windows, so that meant moving the couch out. When you dog-sit other's small dogs, that is a time of discovery! But the dusty tangle of wires also revealed made me resolve to go through the system and tidy it up. When I got my...

    Help streaming audio to old Magnavox stereo cabinet

    Hi there. :) I recently purchased an old Magnavox stereo cabinet. Looking around, I think it's a 1ST621 but I'm not sure. Anyway, I'm trying to stream audio to it. I bought a WiiM Mini, but it seems like I might need a DAC or some other kind of adapter. I'm just starting to learn about this...

    New episode every week..

    I am getting tired of this. I like to binge series and hate it when the streaming services release their new series a week at a time. It is like watching network TV. I understand it is to try to get you to stick with their service, but it irritates me. Thoughts?

    DAC Preventing Streaming Radio?

    I've been a Radio Paradise fan for years. Previously, I streamed from my Windows 10 PC out through the headphone jack to my amplifier. Radio Paradise ran on either Chrome or Edge browsers. Recently I installed a Topping D10s DAC between my PC and my amplifier and have enjoyed improved audio...
