| Looking for a pre amp It has XLR but is not fully balanced, if that matters. | |
| Cartridge for Technics SL-1200/1210GR The Hana SL sounds really good on my SL-1200 MK2. Better than my much more expensive Van Den Hul MC Two Special. | |
| What's the best non-DAC streamer? If you are considering dropping $2K on a Lumin Mini most reviewers think that the money is better spent on the Innous Zen.Let me get this straight. First you weren’t aware of the Lumin Mini (or at least that it is streamer only). Then you make a s... | |
| Looking for a pre amp Modwright LS100 is in your price range and has HTBP. I use it in my mixed 2 channel / HT setup. I've heard the Anthem integrated a few times and really liked it. I don't think you'd regret buying the Anthem. Either will be an improvement over the ... | |
| Best used integrated under $5k I have an ARC Vsi55 and it's a wonderful piece. Haven't heard the 75, but would expect it to be better. I recently replaced my Vincent SV-237, which is a bit of a giant killer, with a Simaudio 600i and am very happy with that. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? @16f4 Tidal and Spotify both do a nice job of putting playlists together based on my listening habits. Tidal's tend to be more mainstream while Spotify brings up more deep cuts and artists that are forgotten or new to me. Sometimes it's nice to le... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? One of the "My Mixes" on Tidal - The Cars, Police, Talking Heads, Cheap Trick, good stuff! | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? All good brother slaw, there's nothing wrong with being passionate! I just didn't want you to think that I was questioning your judgment or your impressions. I appreciate your sharing them. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw I have multiple copies of all three of those albums. I'm not sure if any were first pressings. I have not taken the time to listen to them back-to-back compared to the mfsl versions. Those are three of my favorite records, so I may not hav... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Basement Tapes, MFSL | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw Interesting comments about the cars mfsl recordings. I have the debut, Candy-O, and Heartbeat City on mfsl and think they all sound great. I just ordered Shake it Up today. If it’s better than the others that will be awesome. | |
| Your vote for greatest (covers) album Not sure it's the "greatest", but one of my favorites is Rickie Lee Jones - It's Like This. Check out Tom Jones - Reload also. | |
| What to do with pre-owned vinyl? Many record stores (the ones that sell used records) will buy collections. If money isn't a concern, then that might be the "easy button". | |
| Peachtree Grand X1 question I used to own the Grand X1 integrated, but don't remember if the tube was on in standby mode. I always left it off, I couldn't tell much difference with it on.Drop Peachtree a note and ask them. |
