Interesting podcast , as an AV Forum member for many years luv the discussion. My latest music room two channel system is two Sonos Era 300s for streaming Dolby Atmos. These speakers have line in connections , left speaker is attached to a Sony CD player , right speaker to a project turntable . My beloved Akai 4000D Mk 2 is connected to the Era 300 speaker by the use of a low latency Bluetooth tx. My LG tv, which sits behind the speakers has airplay, which connects directly to the Era 300s, allowing me to watch music videos with no latency issues. The Sonos speakers recognise the analogue equipment as stereo and play it through both speakers. What a wonderful time to be able to pick and mix services and components.
Where on Earth did you guys, Ed Selley inparticular, get the impression that the "rules" of the £5000 thread were new components only? That was never mentioned in the opening post. And given the context of the thread that that thread was spun off from (one about cables), it was never the case. Or is there some unwritten rule that AVForums are for discussing new components only? Which would be an extreme ostrich approach, given the existence of ebay. £5000 is huge amount of money. It's more than I'd pay for a car! For that money, if you're looking at a digital only system you can put together something that will sound about as good as any system ever made. All you need to do is to: tear up the "new components (from a dealer) only" blinkered approach. Have some experience, leading to some understanding as to the principles behind what sounds World Class and what doesn't. Or to know and trust someone that does.

Used products are just silly.
@@Roof_Pizza Silly priced compared to brand new. Especially brand new bought from a dealer.
I like silly in this context.
