Description

This is my humble attempt at creating a family friendly HT. The turntable is my source of choice given the time. The rest of the family likes the Fireball, really hard to beat the convience it offers. One day would like to add a stand alone DAC (any suggestions would be helpful). My kids also enjoy the Roku, me to actually. There have been several reciver upgrades, Denon 2805 to 3805 now the Pioneer. Several speaker upgrades, Klipsch Heresy to AV123 Rocket 750's to the Strata Mini's, plus to many upgrades before the Klipsches to count. Had a good buddy who benefitted from my upgrades, until his wife said no more. I'm sure there will be some more changes, as I have explained to my wife this is my hobby, and there will always be changes may not be bigger or better just different. Now the real question is wether she heard me or just pretended to.
