    Sony ES DA3300 & Pioneer SC-1522k Receivers

    Howdy, What do you all do with stuff like this? I have both of these receivers from old iterations of my home stereo/theater setup. Both are in excellent condition, have all their original stuff, remotes, manuals, boxes, etc. They're not really "destination" items, so selling them on eBay or...

    Older RME interfaces vs. newer MOTU, Focusrite, etc. vs. USB mixer?

    Howdy, I need to consolidate things on my desk and improve the UX of fiddling with all my random audio sources and sinks.

    Direct DAC to amp & input gain controls.

    I'm currently playing around with being entirely preamp-less by running a Topping DX3 Pro (v2) in "preamp" mode direct into my Yamaha MX-1 power amplifier. The input sensitivity of the MX-1 is 1.46V 20k Ohms. The DX3 Pro can easily drive the amp into clipping it seems like considering the 2V...

    WTB: Yamaha CX-1 or CX-1000

    Hi, I'm hoping someone here with a collection of older gear might have a Yamaha CX-1 or a CX-1000 in decent shape that they'd be willing to let go of. I am currently using a Yamaha MX-1 as my amplifier, and I want to pair it with a similar era Yamaha preamplifier. My preference would be a...
