The Sony SSCS5 speakers scale well. If you use them with higher end gear, they sound surprisingly good. I have a some fairly high-end gear that I have collected over the years. Mostly Cary Audio, Conrad Johnson and Rogue. I bought the SSCS5 speakers to use in the bedroom paired with an old Creek integrated amp I had kicking around the garage and connected it to my Alexa. After running them for 40 or 40 hours they were pretty well broken in and sounded great for $110.00. I was curious how they would sound with my Cary Rocket 88R and Conrad Johnson Classic Preamplifier. Wow...is all I can say. Love the channel! Keep it up!

Excellent "cheap-seats" list. I bought the Sony STR-DH190 (during peak-COVID) as the nucleus of a second, smaller 'fi for my upstairs workspace/diabolical lair, and it's only grown on me the longer I've used it: seriously solid performance, ridiculously versatile and convenient (running vinyl, CD, tape, FM and streaming via phone and laptop), and comes with, IMO, one of the best-designed remotes I've seen in years. And, speaking of Sony, while it's beyond the stated budget of your list, I'd like to give an Honorable Mention to the SSCS5's floor-standing big sister, the SSCS3: these are good enough to hold court in my main system downstairs: also purchased at roughly the same time as the receiver, for the cool holiday sale price of $200 the *pair* . (They're about $300 now-still a silly-good deal.)

I got the Sony speakers and the Fosi amplifier. They sound great together on my desk. I discovered the acapella group Fairfield Four, with These Bones. The vocals sound fantastic on my setup. I also bought some Guns N Roses cd's. They still sounded very good. I do not feel to upgrade just yet. And I have just listened to 100.000euro speakers on a show.

Planning to complete my desktop audio setup (Arya Stealth + FiiO R7) with the RB42. I'm still a bit undecided on the amp since I'm planning to get Schiit Vali3 for my headphones to try how the tube sounds so I'd like to get the Schiit Rekkr next to it for the speakers but on the paper it's a bit underpowered for the RB42. But since it's a nearfield application, maybe it's ok? If not I'll go with something from Fosi maybe.

Hey thank you for the straight forwards thingy way of reviewing. On your advice. And I fell into your video. I wasn't looking for anything. But I bought 2 pair of Sony SS-CS5's. For in-between a new from scratch system. Their not lazy. One pair for rear ch of 5.1 theater. The other for stereo overall reference post mastering thru a believe it or not Pioneer VSX-520 I have to say. And I caught ur vid on crossover upgrade. My share worth noting. I have a very old pair in mint condition of aiwa sx-n3500/3550/510G 40w 6 ohm bookshelf cabinets that give more aliveness and depth. ha. I had a pair of speakers no one has spoken about. I've been looking for them and zero? Nothing. Stereo floor cabinets 1970-71 ( Infinity Positive One ) You haven't lived till you've heard them thru the classic JBL SA 660 solid state amp. with s basic old school Girard turntable. What ever record played. How ever mastered from Sinatra to David Bromberg , Weather Report, James Gang, War, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Dark side of the moon, Chicago. ha. you were blown out of your soul. No kidding. Ha. I haven't heard anything again like that special by accident combination I bought on a whim as a demonstrator amp. from a speciality hi fi house I wandered into on a rainy day in 1970 Yes all the old school stuff had the spot on hair raising bellows thingy going on. Now..? I still have my JBL amp. I keep it anti-static packed- looking for those re-creates of the Infinity Positive One's ... any knowledge? TY.

@9:59 SMSL Su-1 Returning the SMSL SU-1 here, it was bought from amazon from the same link. I wanted to upgrade from the PS100. Maybe its the one i got, the connectors are really loose in sense what you plug in simply falls out again. Optical in nearly not clicking in at all just brushing the cable unplugs it, RCA-connectors also really loose. Sound quality: Line-out is too "loud". Sound quality feels like downgrade, which can be result of the line-out sending too much power into the amp which the amp "does not like". Estatics: the indicator-LED is weirdly super bright which is irritating. Maybe i got a faulty one? For now i am back on the PS100 which has none of the above issue's in my case. And getting my 79 bucks back.

I have an ancient pair of Fisher ST-828s that I just can't let go of. I bought them in 1986 for $99 each, which at that time was nearly a full days pay. I know they are not well reviewed and they tend to be boomy (I cannot put them directly on the floor, having a basement), but there is something to be said for a 15" woofer that can rattle my neighbors windows. Until they die (I'm closing in on 60, so they may outlast me) I refuse to replace them.

I think there should be a special mention for the Swan Oasis 140. Its currently sold out unfortunately, but I got them for $140 and I definitely enjoy listening to them over the Sony SSCS5. The Swans have far smoother and less fatiguing highs and the bass is decent on a desktop (though a sub is still recommended). I can't listen to the Sonys near-field without some way of cutting their treble, either through tone controls or EQ.

Maybe there is a playlist that I haven't seen, where can we get builds at a certain price range, example, a set up for under $1,000, a setup for under $2,000, etc, with all the necessary cables and setup? If there isn't such a thing, it might be a cool idea. Streaming music from my phone over a couple JBL bluetooth speakers isn't cutting it.

It did bring some dull sounding cds to life; other cds seemed very close to the 20 yo denon hdcd player Burr brown dac. Only a marginal difference. I just question how long any of the cheap China crap will last in the long run. There is a thing called The Test of Time that nobody talks about. You might be better off buying products that stand the test of time like a 20 yo Denon or Yamaha everyday player that still plays like new.

Nice!!! I remember those days when I was only worth 8 figures. They bring those same cigars to me now. So much easier. Love Randy and still showing us the love for the low cost high value hifi.

@ oh if you Can’t make the trip - you don’t deserve the Cigars - Dominos Pizza will definitely deliver to Bill Gates house .. and he makes more than eight figures as well - but low rent in form is just as bad as low rent in action ., I’ll bring you back some proper cigars - Cheers.

Wow I know these are on sale but most of this gear is 2x the price in POUNDS (GBP which is $1.2). Gutted doesn't describe it... wanted to get setups for multiple rooms in our new house but looks like I'm going to be going without!

Loving that sweatshirt, can you post a link to buy? I did 20 on submarines & submarine support. My photo is me on the back of USS HELENA in 1998. I was the RC-Div chief. Thanks in advance, love your channel.

There use to be a, I assumed built in rating adjuster, which showed true reviews versus what Amazon posted. However it's disappeared? So, yeah buyer beware.

Careful using a DAC as a preamp unless it has an actual analog audio volume control. Digital volume controls are horrible! Think of how they work. A full volume signal would have all bits turned on from the most significant bit to the least. 8, 16, 24, 32 bits.... so let's say that at peak volume, all 16 bits are ones, you want it half the volume. A digital volume control has not choice but to stop using the most significant bit. IOW your 16 bit system become 8 bits. Using only the remaining half of the bits. If you want a quarter volume control level, you are using 4 bits. IOW if you have your volume control set around 9 oclock. Some of the better ones use VCA, voltage controlled amplifier. The gain of the output stage is controlled by changing the voltage range it operates in. Thus you still get all 16 bits of resolution but across a lower peak voltage range. Problem is changing the voltage of an amp circuit changes it's operational characteristics. IOW it will sound different at each different voltage. Your sound will change with volume. Simple passive analog potentiometers or variable attenuator bridges are far better.

Fosi Audio just released a killer new MC331 tube DAC/Amp/Headphone app at a ridiculous $109 after 20% off coupon. It's like the Aiyima T9 Pro (which I love) - but adds the missing headphone jack :-)
