Last time I had a nice audio system in my car, some SOB broke into that car and stole it.  After that, Quoth The Raven, Never More!   JD  
CD transport vs.streaming
Lol,  I just bought an Audiolab 600cdt and I’m pleasantly surprised on how good it sounds. I have been toying with the idea of getting a Node N130 and a Tidal or Amazon subscription. JD

Your method for discovering great music.

Your method for discovering great music.
In addition to trying what others have suggested and what the reviewers mention,  a few years ago I stopped at a garage sale. Ended up buying about 1100 CD’s for $100. They kept me busy for months!  I actually kept about 350 disks and gave the res...

GO CHIEFS !!
Lol, When the Rams came to Saint Louis, you couldn’t hear yourself think for most of the game.  By the third year, you could. And by the fifth year, you could hear a pin drop because there was little to cheer for. So now the Rams have rebuilt ag...

Buyer Dispute
@kirbymydog, File with PayPal and make sure Agon knows what’s going on as well.  You have been way to patient in my opinion! The seller isn’t going to own up to anything or buy you a set of tweeters either. So sorry you have to go through all th... 
Oh Ye of Little Format
I’ve done the same test and we were all over the place with our answers. So many albums are poorly recorded, so it doesn’t matter what the format. “you can t make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.” All the best. JD

I have the Hegel H390 powering KEF Reference 5’s and get more than enough slam on most tunes and for those that I more, I have a subwoofer. But honestly, I rarely use it.   All the best.

your first system-
My first system was two mismatched Sherwood tube amps ( kits, one 15 watts the other 25 watts) a Garrard TT and a pair of speakers with 8” drivers, I built into some bookshelves in my bedroom. All the best. JD  
Fascinated By GR Research Channel
I agree he doesn’t seem to push his products hard at all. It also would appear that if you are the first to send him a particular brand and model to play with, he will do the upgrades for free. This helps everyone in the long run. All the best Da... 
Marantz HD CD-1 Good News Bad News
@tweak1 ,  I guess the thing that has been keeping me from from trying one out is the slot drive. While it’s been a while, I did have issues with both a home and auto CD player doing bad things to my disks. JD
