| Mcintosh pre amp pricing @speedthrills The flip side of that coin is a buyer who expects a 50% discount for an item that is 1 year old. What is something worth? Exactly what someone else is willing to pay and not a penny more. Sometimes there's a meeting of the minds... | |
| Cream — Stormy Monday Cream live at Royal Albert is a wonderful package. Audio disc + dvd of the shows. Classic. | |
| New TT : Balanced vs. Unbalanced Connection? @veerossi Interesting video. Thanks. | |
| Speaker Cables : Moderate priced Are you suggesting one cable will be much longer than the other? I built my own, with cable bought from VH Audio. I've not owned a better sounding cable. Fits your budget and I think you will be surprised at how good they sound. https://www.vh... | |
| New TT : Balanced vs. Unbalanced Connection? @gemoody For what it's worth, my Rega P8 only comes with RCA connectors from the TT. Rega knows a thing or two about TTs but they obviously don't think balanced connectors from the TT to the phono preamp are important? I do use all balanced cab... | |
| Does a turntable mat make any difference? @jjbeason14 Music is a personal choice and we should all listen to what moves us. To my ears, Getty Lee sounds like nails on a blackboard. And while Neil Peart may have been a good drummer, I've always found his lyrics to be sophomoric. Again... | |

| Thinking of changing amplifier to @curiousjim Going from the 250 WPC with the H390 to the BHK @ 300 WPC will give you nothing in noticeable power increase, IMHO. Not sure that I would see the point? The H390 is a wonderful amp. Again, IMHO. In my own experience, If you're not ... | |
| Site problems and questions. @lowrider57 That's strange. When I click on your name, I get details including the PM option. Not so when I click on czarivey. I have told my story and will say no more. 🤣 | |
| Site problems and questions. @czarivey I can't PM you but I can PM lowrider57. When you look at your profile, did you fill in an email address? That may be the key? | |
| Site problems and questions. I believe each member has the option of including contact info in their user profile? Appears many have elected to omit. | |

| CD shelving unit from Modern Shelving 😭 My IKEA Gnedby units have followed me through several house moves. Still have about 1500 CD's sitting in them today. My advice would be to make this a DIY project. A custom CD storage unit would be very easy to build and need only be 6" deep. ... | |
