Listening to music

[popeyespappy]

I am from the age of albums and must admit to missing that sound.

Last week's garage sale find. Near mint for $0.25.

I have a bigassed Kenwood amplifier that could arc weld a battleship

There's a 200 watt a channel KR-1050 listed on Reverb right now $3,800.

My sound starts from my computer sound card, either from my collection of lossless audio files or via Amazon Music Unlimited.  It goes through a Sony 7.2 channel A/V receiver, and out a pair of Pioneer tower speakers, a Klipsch 12" subwoofer, and for movies, an Energy (by Klipsch) CC-5 Center Channel Speaker.  Sometimes the music starts a little further upstream from an Echo Dot.  I was an audiophile when I was younger, but these days, it just has to be good enough.  And I've suffered some hearing loss in my left ear recently, so music is a lower priority these days.

The only problem is that I'm relocating my computer, so these days I sit off to the side of my speakers.  I intend to add a set of switchable, small studio monitors, but I don't have the money right now.

I'm building a new small PC around an EVGA NU audio card. Don't have it all together yet... My surround system is a STR DN1080 with decent speakers and front and rear subs. When I put the damn thing in direct (stereo) mode the damn subs shut off.
