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?

Power Cable Break In - Such a Change!
Whether break-in is real or in the brain, it’s crazy to buy high end power cords new at retail or even 20 percent off (and have them sound bad for 150 hours) when they go for 50-60 percent off used and nicely broken in. I bought the AQ Hurricane f... 
GIK alternatives

Your single most significant purchase mistake?
