so... how do I go about it?

Hi

As I wanted to use my audio cassettes as well I was thinking of a Hi-Fi system (see my recent post in Introductions http://www.hifivision.com/introducti...verything.html)

And the replies have made me think differently.

Buying a DVD player is the first step, which I think is easy and almost done (replies on earlier thread).

We have a ubiquitous 2-in-one for the audio cassettes...and to be integrated into the AV system, I guess that has to be replaced with something better (!).

The AV receiver and speakers will come next/simultaneously.

All suggestions for the components, road-map to slowly building the system (esp how to integrate the audio cassettes) are welcome.

Thanks.

Do you mind ripping all cassettes to mp3 or flac? That would a very good future proof route for a converged digital system IMHO. These can be uploaded to powerpc based NAS systems that can serve as music server that streams music to different rooms / clients [Squeezebox / Pinnacle soundbridge etc].

future proof sounds the way to go... need more help on that.

thanks.
