| MOBILE FIDELITY ONE STEP VINYL I have been really happy with my system for the past couple years and have invested a lot more into my collection. Lately this has included 3 of the UD1S records, Mingus Ah Um, Texas Flood and Monk's Dream. I did not own any copies of these so t... | |
| New Dire Straits 45RPM reissues from Mobile Fidelity I already boxed it up and am awaiting the return label, but I believe it was around 5000. I don't think that is a concern as here are my other numbers and BIA is just as impressive as the others at its high pressing number. Communique - 6143Brot... | |

I am blown away!My copy of Love Over Gold had 2 flaws and I would love to know your thoughts1) Track 1 has the first 32 seconds with a loud ... | |
| Dire Straits : what is your favorite pressing? I cannot comment on any pressings other than original US vs the MoFi Gain 2 45s. I had really nice copies of all the original pressings so resisted getting Brothers in Arms for a few years. When they recently released the 5 albums on Gain 2 45rp... | |

| Phono Stage Opinions This is both self-serving and sincere. I began my vinyl era about 10 years ago with the NAD PP2. I had nothing to compare and was happy for years. I upgraded about 1.5 years ago to the Project Tube Box DS and loved the improvement. I have been... | |
| Review: Bose 201 Series V I believe you have to assess each BOSE product individually and not make a blanket statement for their product line. I have owned their Roommate II powered speakers for over 20 years. These speakers have been played most days in my home at high vo... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? I have not auditioned any tube preamps, but purchased a pair of ARC Classic 120s from here last year. Prior to that I had a single Parasound HCA 2200ii and then a 2nd running them in mono. This took me to 750wpc SS with a very well respected pai... | |
| How will I know when a Krell KSA-80b needs to be recapped? I don't know from personal experience, but I visited a quite reputable hi-fi repair shop in Nashville, TN and they said don't ever recap until they are physically leaking. | |
| Best small used monitors under $1000 Platinum Audio SoloA pair comes up on here from time to time under $1000 with stands(which are critical). They are a beautiful speaker that sounds amazing. I have the Quattro tower and absolutely love them. |
