| A CD PLAYER whose sound quality NOT AFFECTED by the DAC? Sony XA7ES, twenty five year old CD players still in use today! Former Stereophile A player that sold for $3k is still going strong with the greatest sound. And no flimsy Phillips based drive system, but Sony’s proprietary drawer featuring the bes... | |
| Upgrade path question with $2k to spend I’d not spend $2k for a phono stage. Heck you can find the PS Audio phono stage used for less than $500, which provides excellent results. i’d upgrade the Turntable. $2k goes along way on the used market. I just bought a new MMF9.3 for $1800. ... | |

| Installing dedicated 10 gauge lines In an empty house we were moving to I had two outlets, of 4 plugs each, installed of 20 amp wire. The room had a common wall with the garage, and the wire went to a breaker box in the garage far wall. So the wire only ran to the ceiling and down a... | |
| Every day I see another turntable recommendation... Hey, I’m happy to have a MMF-9.3. But I admire those who can afford more expensive turntables. Good luck with your search! Oh, btw I purchased my 9.3 without a cartridge from Hi Fi Heaven, brand new in the box just 4 months back for $1799 deli... | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? Yes, went integrated years ago. I’ve never looked back. Integrated tube amps now rule my world. I’m very happy! | |

| Fedex and Ups Damage thread I’ve never had a damaged item with FedEx or Ups. And check this out. I’ve shipped some 95 different delicate Jazz archtop’s. Before that I bought and resold high in audio gear of all types. I’ve 450 feedback from just the items I’ve sold here. ... | |
| Toilet Paper to Vacuum Tubes I’m not hoarding anything. But be my guest, it’s a free country, hoard away. Why be so self centered. Why not send money to Ukraine instead? Go ahead, it’ll make you feel better. And then your mind is free from your hoarding madness. | |
| Buying used vs new speakers from a technology perspective I bought used Martin Logan’s. The speakers are like new. I saved $7k. And that’s all you need to know about new vs used. | |
| Russian tube supply issues Chicken little the sky is falling noise over tubes. Babies are dying and your worried about tubes? How freaking selfish can you be! | |
| Madman! Digital vs Vinyl Digital is pure convenience. Vinyl is pure bliss. | |
| Class A or Class D solid-state amplifiers (modern designs) This is a troll question and insult to any audiophile. How can you be an audiophile and not already know which design is superior? Everyone knows Class A is pure euphoria. Stop this noise about Class D. But in the end you make a choice and pay you... | |
| No more "High End" for me...Back to Reality Audio Good 4 you. It’s a waste of money. Keep everything under a strict budget and ignore the latest and greatest. | |
| Tube Integrated vs Tube Seperates I was once a separates only guy. For the past 10 years I’ve only listened to integrated’s. They’re very good and very affordable. That PL will be good enough. Don’t buy into the noise others here are selling. |
