Wanted: Recommendations for an integrated amp for Celestion SL-600 speakers!
Emotive maybe a good spot to look you should be able to get the power level you need for those speakers there for your price range. also don't rule out class D amps they will give you the power you need for those speakers at reasonable prices. Fro... 
Need help with MM cartridge choice
Don't rule out the entry level Soundmith moving iron carts I've had good results with the ottelo on a second table. compliance check to be sure first. I believe you'll get better sound with a fix cantilever than a replaceable one.  When you can ge... 
Help wanted spending money and improving my system.
Look to your room and add room treatment to dial in your sound. Your room is what you hear most and effects the sound the most. I'd buy a good quality (not stupid money) USB calibrated Microphone and REW software and look at your room acoustics. T...

Newbie setup
I use an Apple 4k tv box for most of my steaming (video and audio), even Tidal (only cd quality) isn't bad at all. I use the USB connection on the apple 4k tv box to an outboard DAC. that into the preamp line inputs. Alternatively i suppose you co... 
AppleTV Atmos levels seem off
did you try other movies first, could be just the levels in that movie were not correctly edited. I've seen big differences in volume levels of different programs on my Apple 4k tv, mind you I do not use a surround processor.  I go USB to a DAC fo... 
Is great sound possible through an on-board, MM phono stage?
why do you need a SUT for a MM-MI cart?  
Another must have for all you McIntosh Fanboys!
$1800.00   talk about a cash grab seriously. only the rich need apply I suppose.

Speaker magnets
From what i understand the size is not necessarily the thing that make it better. For example High Q driver used in Open baffle designs can have small magnets but smaller gaps in the voice coil (closer tolerances from what i understand are part of...
