Denon DP-60L vs Technics 1200 MK III
If anyone is still subscribing to this thread, how would the DP-1200 or DP-1700 stack up to the other models mentioned here? I've been a belt user all my life and would like to try a fun DD as my second table. 
Rega arm vs Sumiko
Wait a minute @kiko65 , you never said Beltcher designed the Sota table. You said he designed the MDC 800. I believe he designed both but you guys are starting to confuse me. ;^)Any way, I have the MMT on an Oracle Alexandria III, which is a suspe... 
Herbie’s Super Black Hole CD Mat - Wow!
"  I have since found that the Walker Talisman demagnetizer to be a superior and elegant product to use on every disc, CD and LP, with obvious benefit to every CD I play. Sure, it over $200 for a pair of magnets but "$11 a pair https://smile.am... 
Need a SACD DVD player on a low budget.

Top vintage receivers vs. modern high-end equipment
Look into Nakamichi. I have a Receiver 2 which is amazing. The Receiver 1 at 80 watts would be even better. Both have great MM phono stages; but they are early '90s, not '80s.The TA series from the 1980s designed by Nelson Pass was legendaryhttp:/... 
Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...."
I have an EVS modified Oppo BDP-105D, an Ayre C5xe-MP and even an ancient Oppo DV-983H. I targeted and searched for all 3 of these models and had to wait quite a while until I found used ones on the market that weren't almost the same cost as new....

How many audiophiles do you need to change a lightbulb?
It actually only takes one knowledgeable audiophile with some experience and technical skills. It's not too difficult. But after the bulb is installed, burnt in, and calibrated you'll need at least two people to do room treatments and place infrar...
