Marantz SC-7S2 solid state preamp- how good is it?
I realize the last post was almost 3 years ago, but i'm considering purchasing one. My concern is with the XLR inputs/outputs. Are they reversed? Designed to work optimally with other Marantz gear? My source is a North Star Sapphire which performs...

Rega P10 v Complete rebuild Garrard 401!
Go with the P10. I own a P9 and its a vast improvement over a P3. What you get with a P10 is a near reference quality tonearm that offers many cartridge upgrades giving you a long term investment. As you might know Rega tables are known for PRAT w... 
Radio Days..............and you?
Wow KAAY Little Rock? As a kid I was a proud radio nerd. WLS, WABC and WLAC were all able to be picked up(at night) in the Detroit area, KAAY was hit or miss. We were spoiled to have CKLW across the river. Now listen to WRCJ 90.9 on a Tivoli Model...

Take your pick! Abracadabra-Swingtown and The Joker. All recorded by The Steve Miller Band.

Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
IMO never liked any entry level VPI deck. They appear to be made well but Rega tables always seem to be more musical despite the "sub par" build quality. No one can deny Rega has great value in tonearms. I own a Rega P9/RB 1000 with an AT-OC9 mk 2... 
The best books on music
High Times Hard Times-Anita O'Day 
Worst Rock Band Ever !!!!
To qualify IMO the band has to have some mainstream success. The Steve Miller Band.has very little to offer😭 
What is meant when someone says a component is lacking soul
I equate "soul" being the human element of sound reproduction almost exclusively regarding vocal reproduction.  
Great music few are aware of. Any genre.

Looking for an used, inexpensive pre amp
$200 will not buy much unless you find a desperate  or ignorant seller. An Amber FF-17 is a decent vintage preamp (owned one in the mid 80's) that might go for $200? A Yamaha CX-1 , Sony E80/90ES or Proceed PRE are very nice newer preamps that cou...
