| Looking for an integrated amp around 4000 to 5000. I didn't read the entire thread, perhaps someone else has suggested this. Consider replacing your source instead of the Rogue. I have owned a number of DACs and the W4S DAC 2 ranks last out of them all. | |

| Phono pre amp You can get a brand new Chinook within your budget. Keep an eye on Echo Hi-Fi. They seem to get used ones in on a fairly regular basis. | |
| Does anyone have experience with seller Kron on cartridges? You could offer to pay some or all of the Paypal fees if you'd prefer to pay that way. You can't have your cake and eat it too. The guy has a 100% rating and over 1,500 sales. | |
| Does anyone have experience with seller Kron on cartridges? I bought a kiseki blue NS cartridge from him. It was a smooth transaction and I paid by PayPal. Maybe he has changed his payment policies. | |
| Headphone Amp for Focal Utopias? Please share your impressions of the new headphones when you get them. Headphones are great, it's like having a bunch of different speakers to choose from. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Basement Tapes - MFSL | |
| Headphone Amp for Focal Utopias? I was curious about that also yyz. I have the Focal Elex from Massdrop and they seem to be very well made. I would expect the Utopia to be better. I have a lot of headphones, so the Elex haven't been used on a regular enough basis for me to say... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? The Rolling Stones - Honk, Qobuz had the nerve to call this "hi-res". Definitely audiophool quality! But hey, I love the Stones. | |
| How many people here generally buy used? I did buy my Harbeth Super HL5 Plus new, but I got a nice trade in (more than I paid for them) for my old speakers. I have a couple of things I've bought refurbished, or open box. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? The "other" Canadian power trio. Things in the late 70s / early 80's are a little hazy but if I recall correctly I saw them at a "rising star" show for about 2 bucks when they were just catching on in the U.S. | |
| How many people here generally buy used? I rarely buy anything new. Phono cartridges. Can’t think of much else. Oh, no used fuses. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Knife - Shaken-Up Versions | |
| Waht is the best streamer for the money under $2500 (no DAC or storage required). I considered getting a streamer only and was leaning towards the Lumin U1 Mini. The DAC in the TEAC is really good, and it's another option (which he asked for) that's in his price range. | |
| Most valuable LP I think it's my original pressing of G'N'R Appetite for Destruction with the original banned cover art. |
