HELP!!! I need a “GOOD-CHEAP” preamp solution???
Schiit Saga - $350. The end. 
Who are some of elite sub woofers?

Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
@bondmanp  that Sugarcube looks very nice, however, at 3k it's too rich for my blood! I'll probably look for an ADC in the 200-500 dollar range and just make sure to clean my records real good in a Record doctor V. The Record Doctor is simply am...

Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby?
I could imagine a neural shunt similar to what Neo uses in the Matrix to learn Kung Fu, but instead, you can use it to hear the music as if you were there live. Or at the very least use it to virtually transport yourself to Michael Fremer's house ...

Yes, love TB II, but after Amarok (and I love Amarok the most by a wide margin) Five Miles out is in my Mike Oldfield #2 spot. Most people say Ommadawn is theIr favorite, but I've only heard about 25% of it so far... need to keep listening. Mike's...
