| Do you have ways to ease use of vinyl? Only 66 and you’re physically challenged? 66 isn’t old, that’s my age. I’ve some health issues but I’m as flexible as ever. Guess I should count my blessings. | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? I hate this term “for convenience “. When I hear that all I hear is, you were too LAZY to clean and play a record.

| Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ? Hmm, I don’t get it. When I owned a Plinius SA100 mkiii amp the difference from class A listening to A/B was like night and day. The amp of course does both Class A and Class A/B. It’s as if the lights were turned on. I’ve owned lots of Class A fr... | |
| Are "vintage" DAC's worthwhile, or is this a tech that does not age well Not a dac, but my former Sony XA7ES CD player built in 1998 stood proud against any currently built CD player. I’m wondering how much of digital is about smoke and mirrors? I regret selling that player which had a proprietary disc drawer which was... | |
