Rogue Monoblocks
I have M-180s. Great amps, very clean and plenty of power. Tight bass, nothing "rolled off" about the treble. There are a number of reviews on them. One compares them to another amp (forget which one) saying the M-180 sounds more "solid state" tha... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Thanks Steve, that's what I was hoping to hear! 
Home Theater Bypass , why am I hearing this now.
Stating an opinion often and emphatically doesn't magically transform it into a fact, other than perhaps to the person stating it.  Many of today's movies are made to be both a visual and sonic experience and a nice home theater system will allow ... 
Do you care about car audio?
I had a really nice well tuned system in my car about 20 or so years ago and it was a lot of fun and I enjoyed it a lot.  It's a different experience, much as listening with headphones can be a lot of fun, but not the same as a nice two channel sy...

How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to?
I have 1,654 catalogued in Discogs. I’ve been working on a project to get them all entered into Discogs and to cull out doubles and those that I don’t listen to. I think maybe 75% are already catalogued. So I listen to 1 or 2 of the ones that aren...

Steve, I bought the VTPH-2A. I'm strongly considering (which means it's only a matter of time) getting the VTSP-360 also.  
What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile?
The word is in the dictionary and I fit the definition.  
Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse?
Depends on your level of income and intelligence.

@slaw I don't know what his policy is regarding auditions. I like my Herron amps and phono stage enough that I'm willing to go all in on the preamp. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@slaw The Herron is fantastic.  More detail, a quieter background, more holographic.  I like that I can have both a MM and MC connected to it and switch from one to the other with the flick of a switch.  It's an upgrade from my Manley Chinook and ... 
Home Theater Bypass , why am I hearing this now.
A preamp or integrated with HTBP will allow you to get the most from your music listening (assuming a quality preamp or integrated) than you'll get from a home theater receiver or processor.  When listening in two channel, the home theater process...
