| Whats on your turntable tonight? Todd Rundgren - RuntIt's a pressing from the Netherlands. I picked up a couple of other records that came from the Netherlands at my local record store recently. Whoever had them took really good care of them and they sound great. | |
| Has there been any inexpensive item that enhanced your system's sound? Hockey pucks. OK, I don't know that they actually have any impact on sound quality, but due to space limitations, I have to stack some components in my bedroom and it helps give some breathing room between them, hopefully it will help prevent an ... | |
| peachtree amp vs. traditional amp I own a Peachtree Nova 300 and it sounds great. I think it’s a much nicer looking piece than the typical "black box" gear. In addition to being very musical, it has a great DAC and headphone amp and the fact that it takes up less space was one of ... | |

| The Music Room I've never bought from them, but have seen plenty of their ads. From this thread, they seem to be trustworthy, but they currently have an ad for a B&O 8002 turntable with a clearly damaged dustcover hinge and no mention of it in the descript... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Malibu Ken - S/T | |
| Catastrophic Accident! What To Do!? Thanks for sharing the happy ending to the story, that's great news! | |
| What are you streaming tonight? I haven't heard the EL8. I have LCD-2 and LCD-XC. The LCD-4 are the best headphones I've heard. My girlfriend is listening to the remaster of the white album with them right now. Thank goodness she's supportive of my hobby! | |

| Tube pre for class d recommendations I just ordered a used ARC LS26 from an Audiogon dealer to mate up with my Wyred 4 Sound ST-1000 MKII. I should be able to share some impressions next week. |
