| New to audio. Is there a good DAC that can produce layers of sound? If you've decided to go for an integrated, consider the Peachtree Nova 300. You can get a new one for $2k or a used one for under your budget. The DAC is quite good. I have one in my office system and am very happy with it. It will sing with t... | |

| Any suggestions on inexpensive headphones for a Nakamichi SoundSpace 5? My favorite headphones for bedtime listening are my Massdrop Sennheiser HD6XX. $200. Super comfortable, great sound. | |
| Value of mint condition first pressing of Sgt. Pepper? @woofman74 Goldmine or Google "discogs grading" | |

| "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!). | |

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... | |

| "a stylish and affordable launch into the world of high-performance audio" Not too long ago we had our music club meetup at one of our member's daughter's house. 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. |
