Opinions re sound systems please (36)
serene56: So my Yamaha amp (stereo receiver) decided to lay down and die just recently It had been working quite nicely for the past several years with my six stacker Pioneer cd player and two huge matching speakers ...
So now Serene is tossing up whether to replace it with another amp that will also be compatible with her devices (lappy, tablet, mp3 player) or...
Skip all that, forget the cd player and speakers and go straight to a good quality sound bar.What do you think
the bose sytem are very good....exspencive.all in one....look it up.....So now Serene is tossing up whether to replace it with another amp that will also be compatible with her devices (lappy, tablet, mp3 player) or...

I have a nice but small collection of vinyl--Mother Maybelle Carter, Big Brother & The Holding Company, Gord's Gold, etc...what is the best record player available for a reasonable price? Do you know anything about the Crosley? I think they are back on the market. Thanksmost today's singers are doing vinyl, for a reason

I have a feeling, compared to what you already had Serene,
most sound bars will be a step down in sound quality.

Hiya Serene
Was the death of your receiver sudden? Perhaps it's only a fuse. 
I'm the type of person that will try to fix something rather than discard it if it's a simple enough fix and I'm having trouble parting ways with it. As far as what would be a good replacement, I can't help ya because I'm still using my old Sansui receiver from the late 70's 
They just don't make em like they used to anymore.

I suspect you could be right Ocee
I'll probably replace the amp, considering these days they have wireless connectivity with devices..
Was just keeping in mind that the cd player is of the same vintage as the old amp, but if I rip all my cds to my mp3, i'll not have wasted money when the player eventually snuffs it

Hey 2
Yeah I've already been down that road, it's not a fuse and the repair guy quoted $150 as an entry point guide which I'd rather put toward a new one.
It was given to me when the original Pioneer amp died and was already years old so it's done its job I think

Yeah, you're better off getting a new one when repair costs are high.

If your current, broken piece is older, of particular high quality, or your just sentimentally attached to it, it may be worth taking to a stereo/tv repair shop. May be an inexpensive fix. I chose that option, and I'm glad I did. Most electronics now, although trendy, are being built with cheaper, low quality components, and designed to be throwaways when they malfunction. I have an old Yamaha receiver that weighs about 50 pounds, and the older man who owns the repair shop says it will last longer than me, as it has quality components. It's failure was my fault, not the unit's. I've had it for at least 20 years.
