Why the cost increase?
I love how Miller Carbon claims 5 out of 4 patience in ICU were fully vaccinated. Idiot.  
Turntable isolation platform Recommendations?
I have the HRS M3X2-1719 isolation base under my Rega P6. Yes, the base cost more than the table but I plan to upgrade TT moving forward. My TT is mounted on a foundation wall but one of my subwoofers is very close to the TT. I have been really pl... 
Manufacturers past their heyday
Acoustic Research - made great speakers back in the day and turntables too. Now they make outdoor speakers last I looked.  
What are the current useless terms in this "audio world"
@nonoise  - sorry - realized that just as I hit post. I’m slow but I get there.  
What are the current useless terms in this "audio world"
@nonoise - Your take on YMMV is very different from mine. I always saw it as a polite way of acknowledging others will have their own opinions/experiences  and may not agree with mine.  
Great Recordings, Sonically Speaking - and Why.
Jason Isbell does a great job with all of his recordings - it’s clear he cares about the sound. I’ve especially been listening to his 2 most recent releases with the 400 Unit - Reunions, and The Nashville Sound and am always blown away by how good... 
DeoxIT on cables/Jacks?
@frogman - +1Thank you very much for the tutorial. That’s pretty close to how I have been using deoxIT so confirmation is good. Detailed instruction like that is very helpful. Matt 
The Luxman L-595A SE integrated is coming.
Based on what I see, it seems Luxman is holding out for their 100th anniversary ;-). 
Favorite Cowboy Junkies?
They are my all time favorite band. My wife and I’s 1st dance at our wedding was If I was the Woman and You Were the Man (and that was before it happened in the movie Natural Born Killers so my take is they were copying us). I caught them 2 nights... 
mystery muffled mids
Hey OP - can you clarify is it just LZ or pretty much all classic rock. MC’s theory might be right if it’s just LZ but if it’s all/most/ a significant portion of classic rock then his theory doesn’t work. I know MC has a strong bias against stream... 
Worst Concerts You Have Attended ??
@tony1954 - Let me guess - when you saw Zevon everyone was sitting in there seat passively watching?  I saw him many many times - he got into it like crazy when folks were up on their feet dancing and just jamming out (later in his career he only ... 
BS Node 2i: WiFi or Ethernet..?
@cakyol - the OP had asked if hardwiring from a wireless access point would be better than just using WiFi straight to the Node 2i. My point was that in both of these set-ups the signal travelled through WiFi so expecting one to be better than the... 
My ears are ready to retire!
@russ69  - OP said, “I am now looking for a simple, enjoyable, good sounding and maybe all in one system to play mostly digital music. Any recommendations will be very much appreciated” and you tell him, “downsizing is a mistake”.How in any manner... 
My ears are ready to retire!
Astonishing the disrespect some posters show on this forum. The OP specifically asks about a simpler system for listening to digital. Two of the first three responders have the gall to tell him what an idiot he is for making his decision. @russ69 ... 
BS Node 2i: WiFi or Ethernet..?
Honestly not sure whether or not Ethernet beats WiFi. I have a node 2 I only use for radio stations now and it’s hard wired. However, I don’t think there’s any way using a wireless access point could possibly be better than just using the wireless...
