Re: Returning to the Roots of Musical Enjoyment
I assume you meant that you will retire at the end of 2024. A move from Mobile, AL to Seattle, WA is quite the move. I hope it all works out for the best.

Re: Returning to the Roots of Musical Enjoyment
Now we have at least two people on AS that love the sound of 320 kbps. I'm glad that you are OK with downsizing your stereo system and you are happy with the outcome.

Re: I just received my new STRDH190 Sony stereo receiver!
Your new receiver puts out 90 watts per channel at 8 ohms. The minimum load for this receiver is 6 ohms which means it won't drive 4 ohm loads.
