System Goals/Comments: Looking for a good analog to digital converter, good music (SACD, Blu-ray audio, DVD audio, CD, and analog/vinyl) and video (4K, Blu ray, and DVD) storage software, hardware, and storage system.
System Strengths: Wonderful sound from Arcam FMJ AVR360 receiver. Relatively economical, (Klipsch speakers purchased at Goodwill), good sound and video.
System Weaknesses: No HDR (high dynamic range) on TV. Also, I have not been able to find a way of successfully routing DirecTV video and audio through Arcam FMJ AVR360 input to TV and speakers. Arcam FMJ AVR360 does not have phono input. No analog to digital converter, no music server.
Video/HT System: Integrated
TV/Projector: Vizio M80 4K 80 inch TV
Processor/Receiver/Amplifiers: Arcam FMJ AVR360
Speakers (Center, Surrounds, Sub): two Polk LSi9 front, one Kipsch KV2 center, one Velodyne Optimum 12BG sub, two Klipsch Synergy S1 Surround, two Klipsch KG 2.5V rear
Sources (DVD/VCR): Oppo UDP-203, DirecTV
Comments on HT System: I like the 80 inch Vizio M80, but wish that it had High Dynamic Range (HDR). 4K video is fantastic, and everything is better now that I have completed surround sound and active sub speaker installation. The AC Infinity AIRCOM T9, Quiet Cooling Fan System is critical for keeping the Arcam FMJ AVR 360 receiver/processors from over heating. I need to find a way of routing DirecTV 4K video and audio through Arcam FMJ AVR 360 receiver inputs to TV and speaker system.
Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: Sailing, classical music, jazz, classic rock, Skiing, hiking, travel, reading, artificial intelligence, computers, orchid growing, New England Patriots,
