| I’m looking for an sleek integrated amp under $15k Thanks everyone ! There’s a lot to digest here. I really want the video monitor so leaning towards those models. The unit will be driving a whole home audio system so there isn’t a real need for audio quality. Although I may connect my high end tu... | |

| What can beat Wilson XVX for less money? If you’re obsessed with Wilson and need it in the name then go with Wilson Benesch. I listened to the XVX at a treated showroom in Manhattan, and then the Benesch and preferred the WB so much so that I bought it. | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? I’ve tried a number of carts and so far my Soundsmith Hyperion II sounds the best. | |
| Joni Mitchell remasters on the way The original analog recordings of those albums, at least on vinyl, including 1971’s Blue, sound their very best over all the remasters. I have all of her albums ever produced and nothing approaches her original releases. Now you may have to buy a ... | |

| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? Are there integrated amps with a separate power supply? | |
| Is a separate phono pre really necessary? @smanuel Np. And in terms of customer service, the founder /owner Logan Sutherland (former co-founder of Martin Logan) is always only a cell phone call away which is a nice thing. | |

| Audiophiles on Audiogon. This guy reminds me of the Howard Stern haters who continued to listen to him every day in the 1990’s. #1 reason why: “I want to hear what he’s going to say next”! | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? Isn’t that basically a receiver without the am/fm tuner? | |
| I want to move from Rega Planar 6 help me to pick a new turntable I assume your Rega is on a wall shelf? I had a P8 and P10 on a stand and if I coughed hard enough the record would skip. | |
| Montreal Audio Show - anyone hear the FR30’s? @twoleftears lol. I immediately thought of that when I first saw them. It’s undeniable in white. |
