Roger Miller anyone?
I liked it as a kid. Pretty catchy tunes.  
Do you trust your system?
@dain  I luckily found a set of equipment and a room setup that if a song is off, it’s likely recorded that way. I trust my system to do a decent job.  I wonder do others get to a point where they are more critical of mastering techniques than s... 
6H30 replacement
I am far from a tube expert. But I have a CJ preamp which uses the 6H30P. I have been told that there are no replacements for that tube. So, indeed, if one is available, I'd love to know about it. I've also read that the DR's offer a subtle change... 
Would you pay more than 25% of MSRP for a used cartridge?
+1 @jjss49  Though I am thankful for those who won't buy used cartridges or tubes, etc. BTW isn't a demo also used?  
Bought powerful/expensive Amp+Speakers but plan to use an old preamp , am I crazy?
GTG =. Got to go It may be alright for the time.    
Your single most significant purchase mistake?
Mid to late 80’ s, my Harmon Kardon 730 blew a channel. It was 10 years old, so I bought a Luxman R115 receiver. Specs were great. I even heard it in the store. However,when I got it home a set it up, my first listen was a giant letdown. The bass ... 
Chinese Cables that sound good
@surfmuz    I have never heard of any tyrant who has been educated away from his tyrannical ways. Have you?. Likewise I have never heard of an population who have complied their way out of tyranny. I agree that the problem is a big one. But the... 
Chinese Cables that sound good
@surfmuz  You seem to be stuck on the past  and trying to justify or build upon the wrongs committed rather than the right. This country also fought a civil war to end the practice of slavery. Hundreds of thousands of people died. But instead of ... 
Chinese Cables that sound good
@nyc_ben  Amazon is one of them, yikes.  Yes, I know. Walmart too. Both have run mom & pop business out. Both are very convenient to me. But I have decided to buy at other stores when possible @surfmuz  Lots of nautical channels all ove... 
Chinese Cables that sound good
Okay, so you don’t mind copyright infringement or theft of technology, so how do you feel about slavery? Like most, I have bought Chinese products and will probably buy more, since it is nearly impossible to buy products that aren’t made in China.... 
Valhalla2 vs Freya+ as a preamp
@bivhopkins  That really the final test. Let us know how it turns out.  
Valhalla2 vs Freya+ as a preamp
@   Ahhhh My apologies. But I wasn’t all the rough on you was i? But I am kinda straight shooter which throws some. Anyway, your system looks like you have a good start. However it threw me that you had a very inexpensive preamp in with equipme... 
Adding a third REL subwoofer
My system is in the LR so I have to find a "proper WAF" place to setup the 3rd. Those with the swarm setup are sold on it . I'll figure it out sometime soon. Right nowe got my hands full with streaming issues. Ugh  
Revel F228be- will my amp be enough?
100 wpc amp should adequately drive all but the most  any speaker on the market.  
Valhalla2 vs Freya+ as a preamp
@bivhopkins  OK so you don't believe that the price of an object is an indicator of its sound? I see  a lot of  people who expect a $300 piece to sound as good as a $3000. in a world where few stereo shops exist most have to put a system together...
