| Cool running amplifier You should be able to find a used Wyred 4 Sound amp in your price range. They run cool and you can leave it on all the time. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? J. Geils Band - Freeze Frame. Just as the record finishes, the power goes out, but only for a few seconds, just long enough to shut down my entire system. | |

| Yet another turntable recommendation question If you can find a decent Technics SL-1200 that hasn't been beat up by a DJ, it's a surprisingly good table. I think I paid about $600 for mine. I've upgraded the feet ($100) and added the KAB fluid damper ($149), both of which seemed to help. M... | |
| Any success with an indoor FM antenna? I've tried a few different antennas and the one that seems to work best is the Magnum Dynalab - SR100. Second best is the cheapo dipole antenna that comes with most tuners. If your tuner has two antenna connections (I have a couple that do), you... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? 11 Guys Quartet - Small Blues and Grooves, Qobuz Hi-Res. Some nice instrumental blues. | |
| Suggestions for a top flight streamer/Dac around the $2000 mark? uber, I'm kind of going through this same exercise, looking for something better than my Bluesound Node 2.

| MOFI Yes "Fragile" UD1S (One-Step, Supervinyl) I was told by the store I purchased it from that it will be released on January 24. | |
| Which Preamp Would You Choose? I'm not familiar with the Sonic Frontiers, but had a Jolida Fusion for a while. It was kind of noisy and made some loud noises (can't remember if it was at turn on, or switching inputs, or what). One of the balanced connections came loose and th... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Some new stuff from Qobuz...Hawktail - Formations, some really nice bluegrassTony Irving - Vitriol and the Third Oraculum, some "free jazz" | |
| Looking for recommendations for a 'warm' sounding DAC I love my MHDT Labs Orchid. I wouldn't call it exactly "warm", but revealing while being very neutral with no digital edge and easy to listen to. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Cars S/T, MFSL | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Thank you :) |
