MoFi controversy
This makes me glad I have only ordered hybrid SACDs from Mobile Fidelity. I just got back into vinyl within the las year though. Acoustic Sounds has good vinyl. The only thing that bothers me is the lie by omission. I prefer forthright behavior.  
Rogue RP-1 or Schiit Freya
I own a Schiit Freya plus. I do not understand those who say it is not good quality. I’m currently using 2 Sylvania 7n7’s with adaptors for the input stage, and Tung-Sol 6sn7’s for output. The sound is good. I have had no issues with this preamp. ...

Maggie LRS amping question
