I was happy with my setup for 5 years…

… and then a friend sold me a surround sound receiver for $10. Now I’m trying to buy a cheap set of set of speakers for that and also now looking at Legend series speakers for my stereo rig, as well as maybe a new amp and maybe CD player….
My current setup is an NAD 7600 powering some lsim705. I have an entry level NAD CD player that is probably the only thing I should replace l, if anything.
I knew I was going to backslide when I bought it. I fought off the urge to hook it up for 6 months…. 😬

You need to invest in a good streamer. CD's are obsolete like vinyl.
Oh and you MUST get a tube pre and monoblock amps...

A $10 component can cost thousands. I've heard of this. ;-)Expect that there will be bumps in the road. Choose to not let them rattle you.

Unfortunately, yes. I was actually buying a bike from her to give to my gf’s kid when I ended up buying it. She offered me a package deal on the two items when I went there to get the bike. I attempted to remove the receiver from the deal and she only knocked $10 off the price. I had to buy it.
