I was able to find an NAD c368 with a built-in bluesound node 2i module for $1399 CAD (about $1000 USD) saving about $650 CAD off retail. Double my budget but the wife gave me the ok and it sounds great so far. I was planning on getting the 316 or 328 plus a streamer anyway so it’s nice to have...

West coast (British Columbia). Any thoughts on the Cambridge AXA35 or Rotel A10?

Thanks for the suggestion - the c328 looks nice! I’m in Canada so I don’t know what shipping and duties would be for the open box. Up here there’s a difference of $300 CAD between the c316 and c328 brand new.

Under $500 with a bit of wiggle room and all in one would be preferred.

I’m looking to upgrade my vintage Sansui 661 receiver. I have a project debut iii table upgraded with an ortofon OM20 stylus, speedbox, acrylic platter, and clamp, and my speakers are Energy Connoisseur CF-50. I like the overall sound of my system, but the sansui has a consistent hum...

Similar to the Rank the Albums thread, but for a director's oevre, movies in a series or trilogy, etc. I'll start with one of my favourites, Wes Anderson: 1. Royal Tenenbaums 2. Rushmore 3. Grand Budapest Hotel 4. Moonrise Kingdom 5. Fantastic Mr. Fox 6. Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou 7...

Going through an emo-revival phase right now. Jeff Rosenstock: 1. Worry. 2. No Dream 3. Post- 4. We Cool? 5. Ska Dream Joyce Manor: 1. Never Hungover Again 2. Cody 3. Million Dollars to Kill Me 4. Joyce Manor 5. Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired

Swap Fear of Music and Remain in Light and then I agree!

I've been into Radiohead since 2000 (age 13). Have listened to their discography hundreds of times. I listened to their discography again over the last week or so. My ranking: 1. Kid A 2. OK Computer 3. In Rainbows 4. The Bends 5. A Moon Shaped Pool 6. Amnesiac 7. Hail to the Thief 8. King of...

Amazing. Love those Tarantino soundtracks. Which is your favourite soundtrack?

Shameless plug: A friend of mine from my hometown just dropped her new single today. Sort of a cross between Masseduction-era St. Vincent and newer Dua Lipa. I'm an indie rock guy myself but I dig it. Check it out! @iamroyalmusic

I should have mentioned White Reaper! I saw them open for Spoon in 2017 and have been hooked ever since. Not a huge fan of You Deserve Love but I love their first two records. World's Best American Band is the perfect mix between their earlier garage sound and their later pop sound.

Try these: Japandroids - Celebration Rock Cloud Nothings - Attack on Memory Sharon Van Etten - Remind Me Tomorrow Arctic Monkeys - AM Paramore - After Laughter Jeff Rosenstock - WORRY. St. Vincent - Strange Mercy The Dirty Nil - Master Volume Oso oso - Basking in the Glow Soccer Mommy - Color...

Nah. That would be Talking Heads, Velvet Underground, or REM. (Sorry to derail this thread!!)

Haha. I’d love to claim them as our own (I’m Canadian) but they made what I think is their greatest material (Basement Tapes, Music from Big Pink, Self Titled) in upstate New York. And I always associate them with Americana. I really hope this does not open up a can of worms and have a bunch of...
