When CDs first came onto the market in 1982 .......
I remember fighting it.  I remember seeing the CD's n the window of my LP store and convinced myself that was software, not music, and belonged in a computer shop - not a music store.  I went years ignoring the CD until a girlfriend bought me a Ya... 
Sad to hear the good people at Timbernation had a fire (and no insurance).
You guys are really pathetic. I posted this hoping you guys would reach out and donate.  I'm in the insurance industry for 40 years and no one understands this better than me.  This was a recent new purchase and in the transfer, the insurance stay...

Thanks, guys. I kind of knew but feel better having reached out to everyone.    
Best Phono Stage
I went with the Allnic H-3000.  I upgraded from the Rhea.  The Rhea is a bit noisy (tube rush) compared to the Allnic.  The Allnic is dead silent - never heard tubes be so quiet.    
Glare on Choral recordings, classical vocals
Paul, I couldn't help noticing those speakers are on tile floors.  I had an issue on orchestral music which just didn't sound right.  Turned out, I added symposium svelt shelves under my speakers but I didn't take the feet of the speakers off, so ...
