3 great tube preamps. Which would you purchase?
Hi Jay---we have similar systems. I've been updating mine over the past 6 months after many years of having the same audio equipment. I have a Marantz ND8006 integrated amp (using as a preamp for a Bel Canto REF500S amp---which sounds really good.... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Don't judge---the new Madonna song. Didn't like it on first listen---by the 5th time, it's really good.  
Some Thoughts on Axpona 2019--from an Axpona Newbie
Sounds like fun---I hope to go for the first time next year. Did anyone meet Kevin Deal from Upscale Audio? 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Jeff Lynne's ELO----incredible! They're touring again this summer. Catch them if you can. 
Audio racks
Thanks for the recommendations---I've seen many good reviews regarding Timber Nation. They can custom make what you need as well. Mapleshade looks nice too--thanks!!  
Does your mood reflect your media choice?
Mood definitely affects my music selection. But after a long day, streaming is easier. Any other time, CDs or vinyl. Occasionally, I'll play an old mix tape on my 1991 Denon cassette deck---that's a lot of fun too.

I hope to go next year. I'm going to the Washington DC show in November---my first! Can't wait to go. Have fun everybody! 
Disco...yep, I'm going there
The death of disco was still going strong in 1979 when they had a Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park in Chicago. I don't think any other type of music has been through anything like that. But disco morphed itself into Hi-NRG dance music throu... 
Disco...yep, I'm going there
I love disco and classic dance/club music. I was too young to go to 'discos' in the late 70s but started going out to the new wave clubs in the early 80s. My vinyl consists of albums, 45s, EPs and 12" singles. I think part of disco's demise was se... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
The Smiths 'Louder than bombs' on 180g vinyl, double album.  
Basic cable question
Thanks so much! Al, I love your response---I had to read it twice but it makes perfect sense. I guess the loom theory is alive and well---I'm a little embarrassed that I fell for it. It seems like there are as many cables as there are cereal. But ... 
Basic cable question
Thanks guys! Thanks for the info!! I thought it was kind of sales-pitchy as well. Like gdnrbob, I've been out of the audio world for a while and trying to catch up. But here's my current system:VPI Cliffwood TTMarantz PM 8006 integrated ampMarantz...
