| Whats on your turntable tonight? Well, my power went out part way through Communique and after it was restored one of my power conditioners goes into fault mode. Argh.I love putting on Frampton Comes Alive from time to time. I think there are better live albums for sure and I g... | |
| Mid Range Streamer DAC recommendation help requested! I don't think you'd go wrong with any of the devices you've listed. I've heard the Bryston and Lumin and they both sounded fantastic. I owned a Mytek Liberty DAC and for me it was too analytical. The Bryston and Lumin both have a fuller sound t... | |

| Buying a new TT today Thanks for posting that article. | |
| Tidal/OPPO streaming issue The Lumin app kind of sucks. If you want to play an album, long press on the title, than a sub menu will pop up giving you the option to play all (an arrow with lines below it).I've been using BubbleUpNP. I think it's about 5 bucks for the versi... | |
| Buying a new TT today I don't have any knowledge of whether KI was involved with the Marantz TT-15S1, but would be surprised if he did. Maybe the design of the plinth? By all accounts, it's a rebadged Clearaudio Emotion. I owned the Emotion and it's a very nice tabl... | |

| Reviews on SVS SB/PB 3000, Paradigm's seismic 110 subwoofer I don't have experience with either of those subs, but in general, you're going to get more bang for the buck buying internet direct (although SVS does sell through retail also). You're paying a lot for distribution and dealer markup on the Parad... | |
| What to do with pre-owned vinyl? @chakster I don't know about every record store, but the ones I've seen typically pay around a dollar per album, more if it's a more valuable record. It's just like anything else, they have to buy for much lower than their sale price to cover th... | |
| Suggestion for phono preamp in sub 2k price to complement Rega Planar 8 with Apheta 3 MC The Chinook is an excellent unit. Very full bodied and has lots of loading options. The only thing I don't like about it is having to remove the cover to change gain settings. If you stick with one cart (or type of cart), this isn't a big deal. | |
