Great deal and streamer. My Mini will never leave my house. Lighting DS is really well done, oh and the Mini sounds good too.

Tv is wall mounted but I am going to pull it off over the weekend, swap cable and not fish through the wall until I determine whether that’s the issue or not. Will check firmware.

Well the HDMI out light started blinking again. TV which is streamed the audio works fine through the HDMI arc. However I attempted to play a blue ray dvd this evening and audio works but no picture. Perhaps the cable but it’s odd I get audio and no picture. If the HDMI wasn’t ran through the wall it would be easier to…

I have the Parasound P5/A23 and I would think it sounds very much like the HINT6 which I have thoroughly enjoyed. The HINT6 obviously combines the 2 and offers a little more power, updated DAC and volume mechanism and digital display. I do like it a lot. Here’s on on Audiogon for $1800…

Not sure? I picked up at store in and out in 20 minutes.

Picked up Samsung 65 at Costco with tax and 5 year of warranty for $579. Very happy with it.

Mine only powers my center but processes everything and I have no desire to upgrade. Tragedy averted.

Took a little news break at lunch my rigs seem to be fine now. @msg you are cool in my book.

Appreciate all the suggestions. I pulled out the cabinet from the wall checked connections again, specifically the ARC TV to AVR. Pushed back against the wall and no blinking light? I am thinking maybe the HDMI cable was getting pushed or pulled to where it was impacting the connection in the port of the AVR? Funny though…

Scott, Short answer is no I haven’t tried a new cable, my existing is ran through the wall and the tv is mounted. I will try. What’s interesting is the TV was replaced a few weeks ago and everything was fine until about a week ago. Also I still get sound. What I don’t get is the Yamaha on screen menu hence I assume the…

You would remove your existing B&K and would connect the Music Hall to your Yamaha and the amp in the Music Hall would power your L and R speakers when the Music Hall is in HT Bypass mode. The Music Hall Integrated has a nice preamp section and you would connect your streamer to that.

It was a cumulative effect but I added the P5 first and don’t laugh used a chromecast dongle until I could get a dedicated streamer. I have to say for $35 it wasn’t bad.

My 2 cents.. I have the Yamaha 1060 and I got the Parasound P5 with HT bypass added a streamer and that was a game changer. I started with a Auralic Aries Mini and then moved that to another rig an added a CA 851N. Having the pre and streamer took my modest rig to another level. For $1000 bucks you could pick up a used P5…

Good point on the shipping. That’s a smoking deal on the Marantz. I found him a Yamaha Aventage RX-1040 for $350 locally. A little over his budget but a lot of AVR for pretty decent price.

Using the P5 and had the same volume pot issue some time ago. Parasound support was fantastic.

Welcome to CP we can help you spend your money. If your use case is 50/50 music/tv-movies I would consider an AVR upgrade and extend you budget a little so you won’t be compelled to upgrade for some time. Also get an AVR with preouts so you have option to add an external amp down the road should you get the bug. Marantz,…

I heard the Musical Fidelity M6 with the Lintons a few weeks ago and it was sublime. At 3k a little over your budget but maybe on the used market or get the M5 for 2k. https://www.musicalfidelity.com/products/m6series/m6si

Same guy messaged me about an A5

I have been happy with Douglas Connection speakers cables and ICs . You can custom order size and amp and speaker end connectors. https://douglasconnection.com/product/bravo-12awg-bi-amp-ofhc-speaker-cables/

Crazy times indeed. I already work from home but typically I am on the road seeing customers but not now.

Well better late than never. I surrendered the L200s early March after a solid 2 weeks with them, they were hard for me to let go. Others have already done really nice reviews that will be impossible to top. Associated gear was Parasound P5/A23 and Cambridge 851N Streamer, no Subwoofer. Primarily streaming Tidal for…

I messaged the I messaged the guy and asked about payment I assume he does PayPal but a little nervous site unseen I am going to see if I can talk to him

Thanks Tony. Looks good from the picture.

Thanks Tony. You have the link? I couldn’t find it on the Chicago CL

Your Yamaha 701 will easily drive the Signature 60s. I have ran my 60s with the 501 and it was a good match. I say get the 60s and don’t look back.

I’m good I am going to pick up the ZuAudios from @monepolk
