A genlock? Are you doing what I think you're doing?
Got a Rotel RB-1050 power amp and a Traktor Kontrol S4 deck. Gadget Ease has stupid low prices. Like stupid low.
Would just using a Bluetooth 3.5mm or RCA receiver work for you?Been thinking for a few weeks that I might want to sell off my record collection and go digital. Then today decided that's stupid and I want to start upgrading my setup.
Not sure where to start though. Looking for suggestion on what would make the most sense to upgrade first, and some suggestions on what components would be a decent upgrade that's a good bang for the buck.
Here is my setup right now.
1. Marantz PM-5004 Integrated Amp. I assume this will be the last thing I have to upgrade, but I still want suggestions on entry level tube amps that may be better than this receiver.

2. UTurn Audio Turntable. It's upgraded with the Grado Black Cartridge, Acrylic Platter, and some other stuff.
3. Polk Audio TSx330t Cherry Speakers. I'm thinking this might be where I need to start.

Side Note: So one thing that has been bothering me, is that I would really like a solution to play high quality digital music through my home stereo. Such as something like Tidal. Right now I have to run a cable from my PC to my stereo, which sucks. Would any type of tablet, or old smart phone solution work well if I had a way to connect it to my amp? I have been using a Audioquest Dragonfly Red connected to my phone, with Tidal, and it works amazing. Sounds better than any portable player I ever used. I really need a modern solution for listening to stuff for when I'm lazy, or I don't own the record.
I was thinking something like a Kindle Fire (cause I own one), and somehow connect it to my stereo. Although I'm not sure the Fire can use USB Audio Player Pro like my phone.

Finally got a proper power conditioner. Can't believe it took so long.I've always had a decent power strip/surge protector but finally sprung for something worth plugging my stereo into without breaking the bank.
Got a Furman PST-8
So finally dove into the 4K shit. Got a LG OLED E8, been doin some netflix and amazon but I'm wondering if 4k BLU comes looks even better. So the question is: Do i get a player or a boneX - I have a PS4 (not even a PRO) but the pro don't play 4K BLU so what should I do?
Depends on the upscalers in the 4K. I'd agree with your mindset, so long as it's a 1080p bluray and not a 4K being scaled down to 1080p. If anything, there would probably be sync issuesGaiz,
Let's say there are two 55" TVs. One is 1080p and the other is 4K. If you hooked up a standard Blu-ray player to them and played a standard 1080p Blu-ray, the image would look better on the 1080p TV, right? (Because the 4K TV would be scaling up the video, whereas the 1080p TV is displaying the image in its native resolution.) Am I off?

The TCLs are pretty good bang for your buck 4K TVs and they slash the prices for last year models pretty deeply. Their game mode is top notch also, but the LG OLEDs are also really goodAwesome. Thanks. I'm just imagining my future setup and can't really find a reason to go 4K. BUT, no one is making high end 1080p TVs anymore. At least not ~50-55 inch ones. So I'll have to hunt down a used Sony or something.

Thinking of picking up this monitor. Sony BVM D20F1E.
Seller says he doesn't have a price in mind for it yet. How much do these usually go for?
I paid $300 for my BVM 20M2MDU from a friend. Id say over $350.00 is crazy if it's a 20 in like I suspect. But id try and score a deal under 300. That's merely going off what I paid and what I've heard other people paid. $300.00 seems to be about the sweet spot for a RGB monitor.
