What's with the breaker bars?

 

[Vittra]

i need to fuck up some lug nuts

 

[dorian gray]

Hellz yeah

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Kenneth or whoever. I'm redoing my system for my computer.
I ordered a pair of Polk Monitor 30 speakers. I'm looking on ebay for a receiver. Not sure what to use.
And I'm going to get a Polk psw10 subwoofer.

Anyways. What should I use for a receiver.

 

[Krilons Resa]

a receiver? do you listen to a lot of radio?

how about an integrated amp? or are you talking surround sound?

purely receiver, great for $, try Outlaw RR2150. I used to own it.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Well I'm not sure what to use.
Something cheap enough.
$100 maybe.
and just my music on my computer.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Music on your computer? I don't understand what you are asking for then.

 

[dorian gray]

What the fuck is going on here frank

 

[Krilons Resa]

Are you wanting to hook your computer up to a receiver and play through your system?

You can use an HRT STreamer USB DAC for that but now we are getting into even more money.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Yes. That's where I listen to music. On my computer.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Also, for $100 I guess just get anything that has the capability of doing that and be done with it.

Peachtree Audio

Do it

Peachtree Audio

Do it

Yeah, but then you'd just utilize the iPod cradle. If listening to music on your computer, get a computer system.

Or the Sonos thing if you wanna go wireless.

My bro-in-law somehow plays his music from his main system wirelessly from his iPad as well but exactly sure how since I am not interested in it for myself.

Logitech Squeezebox used to be the easiest way to facilitate that. Nowadays there's about a million different ways to do it. A computer running a media server like MediaBrowser 3 passing audio to your stereo would mean all you need is the client application on an Apple, Android, Roku, or PC and give you direct access to whatever content (movies, music) you have shared.

Regarding what Krig wants to do - he wants a cheap speaker/receiver combo to connect to his PC as his sound instead of shelling out for shitty "computer" speakers. Lots of people doing that these days.

Don't fuck around with this - any receiver around $100 off craigslist will do, just make sure it accepts spdif (optical) or HDMI as an input to keep your life super simple.

Indeed.

LT Squeezebox was cool.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I'm also in the market for a sub. Thinking a REL...not sure which model yet.

 

[einride]

whatever happened to buying a long-ass rca cable and connecting it to your Stereo System

is that not hi-tech enough these days

That's what I meant by just grabbing anything you can find and just do it. I used to do that way back in the day.

 

[Vittra]

Not all motherboards these days have coaxial out connections, whereas virtually anything in recent memory that I can think of has SPDIF through toslink (optical).

Most recent ones also have HDMI. It's more about convenience and not what is "high-tech".
