Size is an issue, but without the 5 disc one can't continue the quest for the perfect shuffle. Yes, I love to listen to an album in it's entirety, but when you get that perfect blend of genres, styles, tempo, etc. It's like the mix tape handed down to you from God himself.

Fair warning: No Floyd in the shuffle. Too many cross-track tunes. It's quite jarring

Only a novice here, but I guess that would depend on your audio connection. What is the connection format?

Old school hardwire.

Gold plated RCA cables
12 ga OFC speaker wire

All components will, eventually, be housed in an oak rack. Speakers probably no more than 6’ from the rack.

Sounds like a sweet set-up, but definitely old school. The RCA cables will not give you the quality audio output that an optical cable or HDMI cable will provide, let alone the speaker wire. The short distance to the speakers will help. I'm guessing you probably already guessed this being the audiophile you are. I'm sure it will sound great though.

Yup.

Actually the CD changer has a digital out but since I never really liked using it, never bothered to upgrade the connection. Then again, I'm not sure if the receiver has a digital input port. One thing that will never change are the speakers. I bought them from the Stereo Warehouse in San Luis Obispo back in '75 along with a 80w Pioneer integrated amp for a little over $1022 shipped. The re-cone job cost me more than that! But, I love those speakers! I'mma rock 'n roll guy at heart so my JBLs are perfect for what I like to listen to. Fo' sure they'll never leave our house until I do.

Still trying to figure out what to do about a turntable but gonna delve into that once I get everything set up and figure out where I'm gonna put the records, if and when I get back into vinyl.

I hope you're talking about albums and not some 70's 80's clothing wear because I don't think you'll be able so slide into those outfits without some serious slathering of lubrication.

Just checking for clarification

Asking for Frank.. errr... a friend that will not be named on a public forum.

Palama, I would check the power supply in the receiver. Many of the old-school receivers had a small fuse.

This could probably be fixed without a huge expense.
