Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings?
IMO it's to avoid the buyer that wants something for next to nothing. Not all sellers are destitute, maybe they don't want the audio room or storage area looking like a cluttered repair shop. I have several boxed items to sell but don't want any d...

AM GOLD-1966(CD) Something easy on the ear/mind before vinyl night.  
Talking Book
Great album. Is it better than "Innervisions" or "Songs in the Key of Life"? Doesn’t matter all 3 recordings are in my Top 75 Pop/Rock recordings of the 1970’s. Surprised how few Audiophiles post/listen to great R&B music.  
First phono stage upgrade
@lohanimal    Yes, it is a bold statement. You can't hear everything! I have not heard a Whest product in over 10 years. I plan on attending the 2023 Florida Audio Expo and will be on the lookout for Whest. There could be some unknown very small c... 
To pricey
Audia Flight could be an interesting match with the current B&W 800 series?  
To pricey
NO! The build/design and parts quality are superior to many British made hi-end speakers. Since B&W is such an aspirational brand they are often driven by subpar electronics with mediocre results.

@bslon  Thx.  As an Audiophile not a record collector, I felt if someone kept 50+ year old records in pristine condition they deserved a new home not the trash.

Five for Fighting-Two Lights(CD) Friday night vinyl kicks off with a very solid singer/songwriter recording.  
First phono stage upgrade
Not sure what your budget is but when you make small incremental steps you lose money and time. Since you own a Rega P8 consider a Rega Aura which might be the best all round phono stage under $10k. If you ever upgrade to a P10 or your turntable o...

@big_greg   Thx for the update. Another vinyl LP now wanted for my collection. On the positive side $25 should get a M- copy. "Century's End" is another great Donald Fagen song from the soundtrack of "Bright Lights, Big City".

@big_greg    +1  Especially for "True Companion". Is the SQ of the entire album above average for a rock recording?  
Primaluna or not Primaluna
No! On Prima Luna! Yes the Audio media does push them for other reasons not related to sound/build quality. Consider looking into Mastersound, Unison Research or Pathos Italian made integrated amps.  
Considering Towers in the $3000 range
@moonwatcher    Be careful regarding any online reviewer as the voice of truth. You need to do whatever it takes to research/listen and inspect any audio component you intend to purchase.
