What audio system do you have, or plan on getting?

[Harry]

I am considering to insert this device the Ansuz Acoustics PowerSwitch X-TC3, it cleans up the internet issues which results in cleaner sonics. Some very convincing reviews too.

[foxandpeng]

By the many reviews I read it is. I am still in the process of fine tuning my system. I am also wrestling with power cables by Asuz and Gigawatt, and a few other tweaks are on their way. I hope all is well with you, and the move to another home?

I bet it will sound amazing!

All good, my friend. Slow progress.

We have spent all day shuttling boxes of books and household items to a storage unit ahead of the impending move. Tired now. Waiting for a final date, which will probably be in a couple of weeks.

Hopefully, the end of Spring in Holland is filled with colour and sunshine!

Your welcome to listen yourself, when I completed my tweaking. This item was on my bucket list for quite a while.
It was the driest Spring ever in the Netherlands, it started raining a little bit now, and I am happy about it for I had to water my garden every day for almost 3 weeks, if I would not have done that the garden would have turned into a desert! Take care both of you!

Thank you 🥰

Your diligence will bear fruit, no doubt!

The drought in my area has certainly turned the other way.  If things travel like they have in the past, you might be in for a soaking.

I found a Yamaha CD-S1000, hooked it up and was happy until I tried playing a SACD on it. No dice, it would only play CD layers no matter what. Devastated seller of course, but we settled the matter like gentlemen and I'm helping him to get the player to the repairman. My search continues.

Augh!  So sorry to hear that.  Glad though that the interaction between you and the seller went well.

@Harry Any rain in the forecast for you?

Not much, but there is some rain, spread over a week, still the garden is very dry!

     The Oppo BDP 103 can be found for fairly cheap. It has stereo and multichannel analog plus HDMI.

    Money money money mahhneeee!!

I saw this snake oil vid a few years ago... my favorite is putting a watermelon on top of the speakers!!

     I put my birthday cards on my speakers to reduce analog jitter.

That does it! I'm buying a watermelon!

That's fine, but I want a 2 channel SACD/CD player. No big screen to look at in front here, just a vast farmscape and a big lake.

I'm envious of your view!  Do you ever go out on the lake (like boating/swimming/kayaking, etc.)?  And are you able to purchase any food from your local farmers?

     Use the remote to choose the audio. No screen is fine.

I had to pay $5 to have my Marantz 2 channel SACD player (SA8004) accepted by electronic recycling.

I don't know about availability where you live, but I believe that Denon, Marantz, and McIntosh still make SACD players.

Score! 5 years old, looks like new.

Yamaha CD-S2100.

Some times swimming, sometimes boating, and sometimes cycling along it, @Kalevala. Mjøsa is the largest lake in Norway, just a tad smaller than Lago di Garda in Italy.

Not even scuff marks! It might be good as new, maybe the person switched to streaming, and the player went mostly unused.
