| Whats on your turntable tonight? You have great taste (IMHO only of course) Reuben! I love ELO and Little Feat! | |
| Tube and Hybrid options I recently purchased a used Vincent SV 237 integrated. The amp section is 150 W / 250 W for 4/8 ohms, with the first 10 watts in Class A and the preamp section is tubed. I bought it to replace an Audio Research VSi55 tubed integrated, which I lo... | |

| What are you streaming tonight? Radio Paradise is great. Your post reminded me to make a donation. I appreciate what they do. | |
| MOBILE FIDELITY ONE STEP VINYL Speaking of mistakes, I inadvertently order two copies of the Yes Fragile one-step release. I received the shipping notification for both at about the same time. They seem to do nothing but go up in price, so I don't mind. | |

| What are you streaming tonight? I was listening to some of the "Hi-Fi Audio Partners" playlists on Qobuz last night. Some cool stuff there. I'm listening to the "Official NAD Demo Playlist" now. | |

| What are you streaming tonight? Gary Moore - Live From London, Qobuz Hi-Res | |
| What are you streaming tonight? The Very Best of John Coltrane, Qobuz | |
