I have a rebuilt Marantz 2230 receiver/amp with ADS speakers. For a long time I played CD’s however I only had about 60 CDs. With Pandora I have access to thousands of songs but until recently I couldn’t match them up. Then I bought a UDFINE audioLink.

This stereo/speaker combination produces a warm sound even though my room leans towards the hard side. Its not the most powerful yet it’s perfect for the room its in.

That device should sell very well. It makes good use of your equipment for sure.

Yes, it should.
Also..hang on to that old Marantz. It's a gem.

For $15 its saves a $1,000 system. I was suspecting it might trim some of the highs and lows but it doesn’t. I get the full spectrum and sounds better than MP3. Far better.

Glad to hear it sounds good too. I got rid of my stereo gear a few moves ago. It was not much above entry level, but it wasn't junk, just outdated.
I recently got a new tuner that pairs with Mary's old Bose speakers and does Karaoke for the grand daughter. Of course it has a remote control too.
A bargain at $15.oo.

Can't beat the warmth of the sound from an old Marantz 2200 series reciever. I have a 2215B that is paired up with Radio Shack speakers that are the size of 8-10 paperback books. Big sound from small speakers, made back when products were built to last.

I also have a 2215 with a Technics CD changer and Radioshack MC-1000 speakers.
