Thanks for all the help. I guess this is what you get for free. I suspect $100 yr will get you more.  
Why Does My Attempts To Answer a Post Not Alert The Recipient?

Technics moving all turntable production to Malaysia
@lewm I was born in '51. The "made in Japan" joke stayed around to the early 70's when Toyota & Honda started being imported, IME. Then too, much of Europe  was destroyed and of course 2, big cities in Japan also. Plus their economies were rui... 
The Lifespan of an LP?

CD or Streaming... am I missing out?
Well, I'm glad I haven't ordered my coax cable yet. I'm awaiting delivery of Teac 505 streamer  this afternoon. I was going to hook up my Theta Miles to the new Dac in the Teac to see if it sounded better. Probably not. I bought the Teac for conve... 
The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound
@frogman  Please read my very first comment here. If that kind, or any other kind of sound rocks your, or anyone else’s boat that is fine with me. I find my approach far more satisfying and a much better way to reach an audio system’s true potent...
