“MQA is a philosophy”..John Stuart
In the end, we will be led to where ever the music is, because we love our music. :) 
“MQA is a philosophy”..John Stuart
I still purchase vinyl, CDs and HiRez downloads for portability purposes. I am trying to grasp how this "portability" will work with MQA. I love listening to my AK240 with a 100 albums on it, (especially when I am stuck in hospital). Unless I can ...

Suggestions for a cartridge/head for a JVC QL-Y5F
@roberjerman Thanks for your post. It is a good player and i am reluctant to replace it. I'll visit my usual HiFi shop and see if they can get one in (if recommended). They will recommend something in their shop.cheers, Adrian 
Copper vs Optical Fibre
@erik_squires I am not in the market for a set of digital powered speakers at this time. I put out the question because I didn't understand the "inner machinations of HiFi" such as jitter and so on. Slowly, as I read these posts, I am learning. It...
