| VINYL SUCKS! Best quote - “The inconvenience forces you to listen”. Nailed it. | |
| Looking for my Final Pair!! Harbeth 40.3. It’s the flavor of the month but has stood the test of time (lightly updated) so it’s flavor comes around every few years when many of the others mentioned have come and gone. | |
| Who's using Harbeth with tubes, what speaker model and how many watts per channel? I own the 40.2 Annie’s and I just upgraded my Berning LTA amp to the Berning Quadrature z which is 220 wpc.

| What frustrates you the most about seller’s for sale ads? Im sure most of us are guilty of many of these practices. Marketing and salesmanship are just that whether at the retail level or secondary market. | |
| Which to upgrade first: Turntable or Phono Preamp The Lamm 2.1 deluxe phnostage is considered by many to be the very very best so start there (used) and then get your turntable. | |
| What frustrates you the most about seller’s for sale ads? @jaytor I think they do that cause the final sales price is usually not asking price so it covers them and takes that expense completely out of the equation. | |
| What frustrates you the most about seller’s for sale ads? Dealer ads have taken over Audiogon. Most ordinary citizens sell on US Audiomart. | |
| The Lifespan of an LP? I just purchased an LP from 1959 Porgy and Bess ( Lena Horne and Harry Belafonte) as it was recommended to me by my good friend Steve Guttenberg and it’s phenomenal. 62 year old used vinyl in stereophonic sound and it sounds like these two two bri... |
