Streamer for oppo 205
When I bought my OPPO 203 I bought a Roku for streaming Netflix and other video and a Bluesound Node 2 for streaming music - Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify, etc. as well as all the digital music on my network. I only use the Oppo for watching movies on dis...

What dealer/distributor has influenced you most?
Kurt Doslu at Echo Audio. He has talked me out of a purchase more than once and whenever I have questions he's always been generous with his time and shared his knowledge with me. If I had to describe him with one word it would be integrity.

Another Cart opinion thread....
Not really out of the box, just trying to help save someone from wasting a bunch of money based on my own experience.  You can usually pick up used Music Hall 5.X and 7.X for around $400-$600 for the 5.x and $700-$900 for the 7.X and probably find...

I have to admit it confused me too.  When I saw the "spinning" topic I immediately thought of vinyl, and "don't we already have a thread for that?".  "Streaming" seems like a better descriptor. 
Shelter 501 mkii then what now
I've had retips done by both Andy Kim and Soundsmith.  I was happy with both, but liked using Andy a little better because he was local (at the time) and got the job done pretty quickly.  Perhaps if I had a new copy of the same cartridge with the ... 
Please find the excuses for me not to buy Stax 009S headphone
I've bought most of my headphones "pre-owned" so most were already burned in.  Of the new ones I've bought, my Massdrop Fostex T-XO didn't sound very good at first.  I didn't keep track of the time, but after maybe 30-40 hours, they sounded much b...

Yes.  I used the Tape Out on my Modwright LS-100 and Record Out on my AR LS-26.
