| Record Clamp for Rega P5? I've built mine. Have at least several cut from PVC material on the lathe. It's not required to tie this one up and they're sufficiently heavy. All you have to do is drop it over the spindle hole of any size and it'll do the rest of job. | |
| Did you notice.... I don't consider neither Tidal or Benchmark as a cheap streamers at all, but if I have to spend a lot more to outperform CD, then it's extremely safe to assume that CD does sound better and in many cases a lot better. | |

| Did you notice.... I have vintage Carver Tl3300 CD-player with 1-bit DAC (got one from estate sales), I don't think that this CD-player is of any value, but it brings great sound and music. I have Tidal streamer and tidal service, but quickly realized that I'm not ... | |

All of it was given to me at the elementary school level. Today those ... | |
| Great classical pianists Martha Argerich is undisputed Queen of Piano of ALL times. Personally involved in devotion to Valentina Lisitsa which is Piano Princess after Martha. She resides at Raleigh NC and I saw her live there. I bought $200 flower bouquet for her that day. | |

| May The Gas Be With You @kijanki You've probably never come across the numb-nuts that would buy hi-end 60s-70s guitars and have absolutely no idea what to do with those. I'm happy with my Ibanez nylon strings acoustic-electric which I use in most cases. It does everyt... | |
| Midfi Integrated amp w/ phone stage recommendation Restored vintage Sansui AU7000 Has ALL functions including ALL functions. The best Mid-Fi indeed. | |
