Streaming Players / Streaming Player for Adult Daughter Dipping Her Toe into Audio
« Last post by allenzachary on March 31, 2024, 07:09:11 PM »Today my daughter told me she wants a hifi. She's tired using a shitty Bluetooth speaker through her phone.
A quick search on FB Marketplace located a used pair of Snell E IVs and an Arcam A75 for $600 available locally. I think that is a wonderful starting (and potentially finishing) point for her. She has no music collection and will be exclusively streaming from one source or another. No need for a phono or CD player, unless she gets the collecting bug.
So...what streaming player should we try to find as a good match? Used is fine, even preferable. Let's hear what you guys think.

« Last post by Nick B on March 29, 2024, 03:50:48 PM »Well, my Rythmik L12 is off to Texas to be repaired. I did my best to disconnect that amp, but the clips are impossible to get off the sub and there’s hardly any room to maneuver in the cabinet. So the whole thing needs to go back.
Tweaking my back was a reminder why I don’t want to deal with difficult to lift/carry components. Brian at Rythmik has been on top of things and pleasant to deal with.
The sub was delivered by UPS this afternoon and everything looks to be in excellent condition. Communication with Brian at Rythmik was very good and the repair turnaround was very quick. There was an extra day delay with UPS and I was sent an email regarding that. I did ask Brian what the issue was and 2 electrolytic caps had gone bad and were replaced.
