| Value of mint condition first pressing of Sgt. Pepper? @gpgr4blu If you search for the album title from the Discogs main page, the first result that will come up is "all versions". Click on that and the next page will show the track list of the album and below that, a list of all releases of the albu... | |
| "a stylish and affordable launch into the world of high-performance audio" @toddnkaya The system I heard them in didn't have a sub, but I have subs in all my audio systems and am sure those speakers would benefit from a sub (or two or three or four!). | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @simao Thanks for mentioning Antiphon. I just finished streaming it on Qobuz, great stuff! | |
| 6SN7 variants circa 2019 - tone, longevity, reliability, value I tried the Black Treasures and the Sophia Electrics in my Modwright LS100 and had issues with both going microphonic in a relatively short time. I contacted Brent Jessee and he recommended Sylvania 6SN7GTA Chrome Domes. I've been using those ... | |
| New to audio. Is there a good DAC that can produce layers of sound? I love my MHDT Orchid DAC, but more for it's natural presentation of music than soundstaging. I have it set up in a small room with the speakers nearfield, so I'm not getting the best soundstage I could. If you don't like bright speakers, switch... | |

The system we listened to was a Yamaha receiver with a pair of "Andrew Jones designed" Pioneer SP-FS52 speakers. They weren't pretty, and they didn't come clo... | |
| Value of mint condition first pressing of Sgt. Pepper? Look up the information in the matrix/runout area on Discogs to see what version you have, using the "find your version" tool. Once you've done that, search the marketplace to see what other people think they are worth. | |
| The Who (Deluxe) I have listened to the new record a few times and really like it. They're both in their mid 70's. I'm glad I'm not the same guy I was in my 20's and I'm OK with them maturing and not sticking to some formula to prove they're still "The Who". | |
| What are you streaming tonight? I've been listening to the Miles Davis Quintet - The Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions on Qobuz the last couple of mornings. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @vair68robert It took me three tries to get a decent pressing of the Analogue Productions vinyl. The first two had some horrible surface noise, which apparently others have experienced also. This one sounded great and is definitely reference mat... | |

| Upgrading my beginner setup and not sure how to allocate funds. New cart, table or amp? I haven't heard your integrated or speakers, but unless they are horrible, I would upgrade your turntable. Most turntables come with a decent cartridge, so you can kill two birds with one stone. Right at your price point, I'd take a hard look at... | |
