I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's
This reminds me of some of the discussions I have had recently with my 12 yr old son about music. He wonders why I don't care for his music and I have been honest in telling him that it is normal for older generations to not like the music of newe... 
Class D Integrated Amplifier Recommendations.
I have an LSA Voyager GAN amp.  I have been very happy with it so far.  Clean and clear sounding without issues at this point.   
Monstrous power cables
I just purchased a couple of the Waudio cables from Amazon that mceljo recommend earlier in this thread. I installed the on my dac/preamp and amplifier yesterday. I had paused the song from MacBook, installed the new cables, and then pressed play ... 
Turntable noobie...what advice do you have?
Alright, the RPM 3 Carbon was delivered as well as the Mobile Fidelity StudioPhono.  I set the turntable up and the the stylus pressure using the little balancing stylus pressure gauge that came with it.  I have a digital scale but I wanted to use... 
Turntable noobie...what advice do you have?
As I have read the debates about cleaning methods and static reduction, I started to think about the power and the grounding. So I looked at my AMP and my DAC/Preamp and there is no ground screw like I have seen on receivers I’ve owned. I double c... 
Turntable noobie...what advice do you have?
You all are awesome.  This thread has continued to be some fantastic advice.  I did scan the last few months of threads and didn’t see anything like this.  I am happy to have asked for advice and I hope some others receive the same benefit from re... 
Turntable noobie...what advice do you have?
Thank you everyone for the fantastic advice.  It has been very positive and I really appreciate it.   As a nerd, I tend to research things before I pull the trigger.  The RPM-3 with the Amethyst seemed to be decently reviewed yet not break the ba... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
I just received my Voyager yesterday.  So far it sounds better than my Emotiva BasX but you would expect so since they are very different price points.  I have not used the Peachtree so unfortunately I cannot give you a comparison.    
LSA 20 Statements review
@grislybutter  I did not except for the ML's I have in my home theater.  I believe the cost per pair is similar.  They are a very nice speaker as well but I have not compared them apples to apples. They are run off of my Anthem Receiver and have a... 
Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k)
Thank you to everyone who has replied.  There has been lots of fantastic information here.  I'm around Portland, OR and there are only a couple of higher end shops around that I know of.  I honestly have no clue about a club or anything.   So tak... 
Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k)
Thanks for the responses thus far.   In no way do I have my mind made up.  In fact that is my issue...there are too many very fine speakers and I have no clue what is what since I haven't heard most of them.  To respond to some others, the room ... 
Need new headphone setup.
I would just go over to Drop (that's what I did).  There you can pick up a decent DAC, headphone amp, and a set a cans for under $1k. You can of course spend more too but you don't need to for some decent stuff.   
What do audiophiles do in their cars?
2018 Tundra Crewmax...Alpine head, Morel Ultra speakers (component in the front and coax in the rear), 2 AD 10" short throw subs in a custom box behind rear seats, Morel 4 channel amp for the speakers and mono amp for the subs. And then lots and l... 
I’m new and slightly confused!
Now I want to know what you are getting rid of lol
