Any experience with these turntables?
Again thanks guys. I look to the turntable experts here and have not been disappointed. Effischer, great hearing from you and I do trust your opinion. I might just try the Sansui and AR when my buddy gets around to working on them. I don’t think h...

MillercarbonGreat advice! I think my buddy would let me take them home and try them. Maybe I can borrow one of his cartridges that fits on all of them too. 
BEST SPEAKERS AT A REASONABLE PRICE
I agree with all who mentioned Vandersteen and Magnepan. I have MMGs in one system and 2CE Sig2s in another. Both are stellar at a lower price point. I would agree the Magnepans need quality power to sound thier best. I use a Parasound A21 amp. 
[help] I'm too Boomer to stream. :-(
Yeah contacting Customer Suppport is the way to go with Bluesound. I had a fair share of connect/disconnect problems with mine, and the IT guys were awesome, that notwithstanding it is a stellar piece of kit for what it is intended to do. IMO. 
How do you use Tidal with you local library?
I have a Bluesound Node 2 and I can choose between my ITunes library or Tidal to play music. I also have the Itunes music files on a Mycloud NAS. 
Streaming + DAC questions. Please help this noob!
The Bluesound Node 2 and Ayre should sound VERY SWEET. I have the Node 2 and a Benchmark DAC, but quite honestly the Node 2 playing MQA by itself can sound amazing. 
In search for speakers of "natural" sound
I like Vandersteen speakers. I will say though I have not heard as many speakers others here on AG have heard. But so far, these speakers sound the most organic and natural to me. It does take some effort to set them up correctly and they need spa... 
How many of you believe in MQA?
Big_Greg is correct. You don’t need the computer. That is why the Node2 was designed as a one-in-all player. The Bluesound is a DAC and streamer all in one. It can be linked to a NAS or your own library of music as well, but one does not have to d...

Audiophile: "One who cannot understand why they are fascinated by overpriced boxes of wires"(one should not confuse the term "Audiophile" with the term "Audiofool" or "Audionut".Audiofool: "One who cannot stop buying different boxes of wires with ... 
Vandersteen 1Ci, Tekton Lore Reference, or Fritzspeaks Grove for a small room
There are many choices of speakers to include all models and manufacturers...and that is a good thing, since all audiophiles having different considerations and taste/preferences in sound. I say get what you fancy and be happy. Whatever you think ... 
Brands that have the least depreciation
As it has been said, McIntosh, Thorens, Marantz, ARC and others. I think particular models of brands are even more indicative of this. Some JBL speaker models, maybe the Garrard 301, some Marantz, Sansui, Pioneer receivers of the USA glory days of... 
My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon
Nonoise- Another interesting tidbit on a particular manufacturer and his forum on Audiocircle. I had a very bad experience with him and his equipment and from time to time shared those truthful comments with objectivity and honesty with other AC m... 
My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon
Nonoise,Yes audiocircle does have manufacturer forums, but mostly they are for true fans of the products THAT manufacturer makes. If one posts any negative experiences they can/are banned from the forum by the moderator who is the rep or owner of ... 
My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon
It is not difficult to spot dealers who are arrogant, condescending and want to push their products. They state their wisdom? and experience as so much more valuable than whatever information anyone else is adding to a thread. The funny thing for ...
