| Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums Mott the Hoople has a number of them. Right now I’m thinking of "Drivin’ Sister." Has almost every clique guitar riff in it and it is fun. | |

| Suggestions for Phono Preamp Decision made. It was between a used Don Sachs Phono Stage, Hagerman Bugle MC, and a PS Audio Stellar Phono Preamp. I chose the latter. The Hagerman and the PS Audio were new and the Sachs was used. They were all about the same price. Reviews o... | |
| The Best Audio Dealer Just want to say I am really glad there are still stores around and good people. My city really doesn't have anything other than the box stores. We used to have some boutique stores which were great. Additionally, I got started in this whole thing... | |
| Songs with excellent advice? @cd318 Stop Your Sobbing is by the Kinks and covered by the Pretenders. But speaking of the Kinks, they have a few songs with good advice: Have A Cuppa Tea Skin and Bones Come Dancing Better Things Jukebox Music Animal Farm Alcohol Are th... | |
| Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums Want to just add one more group of classics (beyond the Kinks) and that is Pink Floyd. 2 albums that aren't really known that well (at least in my opinion) are Relics (which has early Syd stuff and showcases members such as Rick Wright) and The Va... | |
| Bang for the buck I agree with @jlr261 about the ranges of responses. Additionally, loads of suggestions that blow past your budget of <$2,000. As to getting a good bang for your buck, a lot of that is going to be luck. I don't know anything about Salk speakers... | |
| Suggestions for Phono Preamp @grislybutter Believe me, I’ve looked at both (Hegel and Parasound) but they have downsides too like most everything. The biggest thing is that I obsess about this and spend as much time as I can looking at reviews and forums so it will be worth p... | |
| Suggestions for Phono Preamp @grislybutter Yes, it is a conundrum but I'm also trying to head off upgrade-itis by getting a decent phono preamp. I've had cheap ones, Schiit Mani and the Vista Audio Phono 2. Now I am using a pretty durn good one built into my LTA Z40+ with a S... | |
| Suggestions for Phono Preamp The more research I do on this, the more I'm confused because everyone has a different idea of what sounds best. It is also a little annoying that you have to buy a preamp for your TT that may be more expensive than your TT and cartridge combined ... | |
| Suggestions for Phono Preamp @quiddy No apologies necessary. In fact, I may blow up my own parameters on something else but of the ones discussed, the Hagerman seems to fit the bill. I'm now checking out the Goldnote which seems interesting as well. | |
| Suggestions for Phono Preamp @quiddy I know about Nakamichis. I have a Nakamichi TA-4A amp. I've moved to tube amps and my issue are as follows: I bought a used LTA Z40+ integrated with the phono stage and the SUT which I believed was going to be my endgame amp. However, my s... | |
| Thinking about another amplifier (Galion) @veerossi great news. When you get it, I'd love to hear what you think about it. The thing that bothers me a bit about the amp is how much warm up time is needed for it to sound the best and if you change a setting it is start over from the beginn... | |
| Suggestions for Phono Preamp The Hagerman is one I've thought about. Thanks for the suggestions. I'm taking a close look at each one. | |
| Spatial Audio Labs @jpm It seems to me that most amps sound good with the Xs because they are so easy to drive so you can do SS or tube and SETs and easily drive them with low wattage. My experience has pretty much been, whenever I find the new best thing, it make... |
