JimmyBOD Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Here is my unit as of today. I will be purchasing another 4x4 as well as a 2x4 within the next month. I realize that my tt, receiver, speaker set up is completely wrong at the moment. I used to use a Crosley as my main tt, so these are a step up for sure. I'm using the Hitachi HT-40S TT and JVC RX-558V receiver currently until i get a preamp for my Marantz 6150 on the left speaker. I'll post an updated pic when I get the new units. Also, I need a large cd unit. Can someone suggest one that could hold up to 2000 easily? I haven't found anything that I like as of yet. Thanks. Forget the large cd unit, rip that shiz to FLAC (or some other lossless format) and put it all on a NAS. Then get a receiver with an Ethernet connection. You'll never have to touch a disc again. And you can access it all almost instantly. Then put all those CDs in the garage or attic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then put all those CDs in the garage or attic. i have most of it on my hard drive at the moment. i still like to collect cd's though. we dont have any legit record stores here so cd's are still easy to find and at decent prices. one day i might make the change, but i doubt it.

Can you explain this a little more? I have an external HD I ripped a bunch of CDs to (as .wav, not flac), is there a way to tie this into a NAS? I don't know shit about this, but putting CDs into storage sounds like a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAS is basically server storage. Set it up, it works off your wifi, access it from multiple computers, etc. Could even set up a cheapo dummy computer specifically for music alone.

xhotandfatx Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 That was the response I was looking for. It saddens me each and every day to see how irresponsible I've been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glass realms Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I just moved into a room in my buddy's house. I had to downsize the collection due to space issues. (I used to have three 2x4 expedits. And now the rest of my collection is in storage.) But here's the current setup. I also have a 2x2 Expedit in the closet. xhotandfatx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were around 30 bucks last time I was at Twist and Shout in Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
