| Bully pulpits Unfortunately, this occurs in other hobby forums too. Someone always manages to interject their political views which ticks off several people---and there it goes! It usually gets really nasty before the posts are removed. Go to the political foru... | |
| Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment Added a REL T7x to my system---much more depth and punch. Highly recommended. | |
| What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please. I have a Marantz ND8006 CDP/streamer---very happy with it and easy to operate. | |
| Recommend an Entry Level Turntable (And maybe an integrated Amp) Check out some of the Yamaha integrated amps---they have several that can fit most budgets and a decent phono amps built in so you may not need to purchase a separate phono amp. I have a Denon PMA 757 from 1985 and only use it for streaming from m... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Depeche Mode - Violator | |
| Zu vs. Tekton? -- your comparisons on price, build, sound I have a pair of Tekton Lore References connected to my second system that has a vintage Denon PMA757 (80 wpc) with a Zen DAC V2---they sound amazing.

| New Order fans? I can remember clubbing in the '80s and when Bizarre Love Triangle started playing, the dance floor would get packed. A timeless classic. One of the first NO songs I ever heard was Confusion. | |
| Days of Our Lives The Cure - Friday I'm in love | |
| New Order fans? NO just played the O2 arena in London last week---it should still be available for streaming I believe. Would have loved to have seen that show!! | |
| New Order fans? @dabel Yes! Substance is a great album---Perfect Kiss! | |
| New Order fans? @daledeee1 Great album! I bought the 12" of Blue Monday after I heard it one night. The vinyl looks like a giant 12" floppy disc--I think its still the best selling 12" of all time. Technique is my fav--Vanishing Point is an awesome song. | |
| Tube integrated amp recommendations Thanks @soix @gareents -- My musical tastes are all over the board--from classic alternative, synth, classic rock, country, house, classical. The sound characteristics I prefer are on the warmer side of neutral. Several others have also mentio... | |
| Tube integrated amp recommendations Thanks everyone---I've got my homework cut out for me. I was hoping to get more brand recommendations. Customer service is important to me and Raven definitely has that going for them. | |
| Tube integrated amp recommendations Thanks MC---I may just have to give Dave a call. A friend of mine mentioned tonight about looking at the McIntosh MA252 but that's a hybrid amp. Not sure I want to go that route. | |
| Tube integrated amp recommendations Thanks MC---I've seen the 'rave' reviews about the Blackhawk and their customer service. I'm a novice when it comes to tubes---would you recommend their NOS tubes as starters or upgrade the tubes? |
