Tidal class-action
@tomcy6 why does playing your records not do justice or do it for you? Curious.....because if you have the proper analog set up, there is nothing that can compare. Also, i do stream, just not hi res....as I mentioned in my reply. I stream when I'm... 
Sold a component and bought it back, am I nuts?
@fbgbill you are correct, serious problems! Lol

@tomcy6 that's why I have my Grace Digital Link, a $179 streamer. Also have a topping bc3 Bluetooth receiver. I have zero interest in hi-res streaming. That is what I use my physical media for, serious listening is done with physical media. It's m...

I have well over 3,000 lps, a ton of cd's, ton of pre-recorded cassettes, about 50 mini discs, plus a Grace Digital Link for streaming both Amazon and pandora.  I think I'm all set!...plus my Marantz sacd player does DSD via USB, so if I ever want...

I'll stick to my free pandora...never understood why anyone would pay to stream, when you can just own a physical copy. You own nothing when you pay a subscription. They own it

@limomangus I don't know. It's a pretty successfull business, I'd rather not disclose. I think I got the deal because I just spent over 6 grand for the Accuphase. So he felt he should take care of me. A very friendly guy.

@lanx0003 new it is $1999. I received $1750 for it in trade. I bought it back for $999. I also bought back from same seller, my 4 meter pair of NaC A5 terminated (bananas) speaker cables for $299....they are $500 new! So total was $1298 for both t... 
Cartridge Advice Please
I’ve got a poor man’s denon dl 103 (not my sole cartridge) and I just love it. I've read Fremer's review of the LVB 2m black. I think I'll be grabbing one soon, at least the stylus thereof, as I can swap out the ortofon Bronze.

@liamowen we all make mistakes, or have a lapse in judgement. The "genius" thing you are hung up on was tongue in cheek...jeesh...I am far from being a true genius, that I'll tell ya...  
Old days & steamers vs newer stuff?
Maybe I'm deaf, but pandora sounds just fine to me...

@asctim Thanks for confirming I’m not nuts, bananas yes! Hahaha...yea, I could not pass buying it back once I saw it listed as used (but not really used). I think the 5si may go well with my JBL 4309’s, whenever I get around to setting them up. I ...

@grislybutter i was charged the nominal price for the item that i got in trade.  
Sold a component and bought it back, am I nuts?
@elliottbnewcombjr I did not do anything with it, as I did not receive any money. I am recieving my amp back that was traded in a month ago. However, should I decide to sell it on my own, then yes, I'll see $$$$ I'd say it was a great move, a $19...

The first-best-last analog item you ever bought
The Aiwa AD f770 3 head cassette deck, bought back in 1983. Still have it today! The thorens TD 1500 is my latest acquisition analog wise. It is truly a great turntable.  The best, even though the two above are fantastic, has been my recent acqu...
