Send in the Clowns
Ask yourself these two questions. Can I live with and be happy with my audio equipment if it measures really well but doesn’t sound great? Conversely, can I live with and be happy with my audio equipment if it sounds great but doesn’t measure well...

What are your top 3 favorite turntable companies (manufacturer) and why?
Gotta throw this in there. Is this the equivalent to Bose ..in the turntable market? Let’s not forget Slovenia. https://maglevaudio.com/?srsltid=AfmBOooC4G32QVWxf-hqYHs84VDqWs6eb2Q_-WmgqhXghzOicvDEaZug  
What are your top 3 favorite turntable companies (manufacturer) and why?
Here are my choices. Shindo Garrard- A tricked out Garrard 301 from Shindo VPI- Very good America made table, reliable and heavy. Palmer 2.5i - just a cool turntable.     
Score!!! Just Picked up a Pair of "THE best for Beatles" Speakers.
Great find and I salute you for bringing these speakers back from the trash heap. I am sure they are fun (especially with the Fab4). Enjoy!

Here is a customer service story from me about Upscale Audio. A true story. I recently bought a turntable from them. They had to order it from the company. I told them I had a used cartridge that I wanted to send to them as they offered free setup...

Sub repair or new sub?

Anyone have a Roon Nucleus One? Your experience positive or negative?
Update on older topic. I bought the Nucleus specifically to run a HiFi Rose RS 130 and it works flawlessly. I am disappointed in the UI on the Rose. The Roon application is far and away better and user friendly.  
Buying used audio equipment in peron in Canada
BTW I don’t think Denmark will EVER agree to allow Greenland to become part of the USA and also I don’t think Canada will EVER agreed to become a state in the USA. It’s absurd and offensive.  
Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album?
spenav- Yes I have seen that list and there are many of those kinds of lists on the internet. I have also used those recommendations as well to build a library of albums but I noticed those lists typically have the greats like Miles, Coltrane, Get... 
new Parasound A21+ vs my old Rotel RB-1080
Listening to Audio equipment is a funny thing. A person preference comes into play, correct system matching, your own ability to hear well, etc. I have noticed that many audiophiles who have bought and sold many pieces of gear have found good res...

newfzx7- Good points. I am one person living in the US and I apologize to ALL Canadians for the conduct of our government. That apology extends to the citizens of Greenland. To the OP, pay attention to the laws governing taking any item’s fixed or...
