I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why.
Hey mrd, I have an SP9-MK2. It hasn’t any tone controls and for the most part I don’t miss them. A little tube rolling (very little cause it only has 2 tubes) and 3 different cables rolls and I’m pretty happy.Happy Listening JD 
Stereophile Magazine question.

Thinking about a new, lower end CD Player
Look at a used Oppo BDP 93. Great unit for a great price.JD 
When you audition equipment, what albums do you bring?
n80,Two Against Nature is a wonderful album.I have two Knopfler albums, but I don’t have Tracker.  Is it newer?  Rag Pickers was the last one I bought.JD

jafant,My favorite Prince song isn’t on that album, The Undertaker is probably my favorite Price song.  There are several versions out there. Some are good and some aren’t.  From the album it’s Probably Controversy. It’s a tune to play loud unlike... 
How can anyone want more......Just a very happy listener.
Happy listening!JD 
speakers with active bass
janewyman,I’m interested in the getting the T1 speakers.  What setup are you using to drive them?thanksJD 
best preamps
While I’m an ARC fanboy,  I  know that preamps are only one piece of the puzzle. Speakers, amps, wires, spinners, tubes, ears, etc all make a difference.JD 
BE VERY CAREFUL OF YOUR DEALINGS ON AUDIO-ASYLUM

Little-known Gems
jafreeman,In Saint Louis there is a Classic Rock station, KSHE 95, that has a Sunday morning show from 8-12am that plays really classic rock. They play a couple, three Butts Band tunes. Baja Bus and Be With Me are two I remember.Great tunes.JD

The 70’s are back
So I looked up inflation from 1973-2018 and the $600 I paid then is now $33xx.With manufacturing costs coming down on most (not all) things, I wonder if JBL is looking for me to fondly remember yesterday and want to relive those days.JD

When I bought mine in ‘73-74, I paid $625 including speaker wire. Everyone thought I was nuts to pay so much! JD
