Uneven sound comiing from my B&W DM630s
"When I turn the nob to the balance on the left speaker" if you switch cables to the speakers, does it switch the speaker's behaviour too? If so, your amp has a bad circuit, transistor, etc. the amp clearly is the issue   Also, 80s and Denon ar... 
What is the best way to clean Vinyl?
I have about 200 records and 500 CDs (and I don't like half of them that much) and 6-8 hours a week to listen - I think I am good.  
Speaker of My House…!
just curious, you said "try" and then "used", you plan to sell them if they don't work out?  
Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig?
vinyl sound quality may have issues, may not compare to digital favorably, and yet, it will have a soul, deeper than digital ever will. Maybe it’s just in my head.  
Looking for suggestions
I had a bad experience with Qobuz. Bad customer service, bad UI I am not in love with your speaker choices. Did you find these used? I like Monitor Audio but the bookshelves mostly.  I had the b&w 686s and they were pretty amazing, a little... 
Musical Surroundings Phonomena II+ -OR- Moon 110lp v2 -OR- Parasound ZPhono XRM Phono
@audphile1 the MkII is already a bit over my budget. I am not sure this where I need to push my limit, I need a better amp, and a sub, all that would improve the sound of my speakers. I would benefit the most from cleaning my LPs  
Great Small Room Speakers for $3-5k
@nonoise cool! They look awesome. Did they come with the stand?  
What CDs to buy
are you looking for new recommendations, music you don’t know? My greatest discoveries in the last decade were M. Ward, The Be Good Tanyas, Shovel and Rope, Nataniel Rateliff, Paulo Nutini, and a few others, mostly mainstream (Wilco, BNL, and th... 
For the first time...
@mijostyn I am sure you are close enough :)  
Small form factor, SS phono preamp recommendation.
I tried the phono stage in my MF A3.2 and now a Musical Surroundings phonomena ii+. I need a little more details a clarity and sweetness if that's possible

I have been baking since I the age of 6. Twice a week at least. Lots of Central European recipes. My grandmother ran a company that invented baking for the masses - before them it was mostly an upper class event - the maid baked for riches.

thanks @oranfoster  For a Rega P3, is it better than the Rega phono stage? PS I am addicted to pastry and bake all the time   
For the first time...
@mijostyn  No serious analog lover has less than a few 100 thousand records. Get real.

@oranfoster  I know you asked questions, but I see on your (amazing, fun) photos: Rega Fono MM and Cambridge Audio Alva Duo. Do you have any advice, which one is better?    
New Spatial Audio M4 Ultra
so I had similar experience with an amp from a boutique shop. I think there is a lesson here: don't expect Crutchfield speed and treatment from a "2 brothers to design and build and a grandma for the invoicing" company. It's just not realistic. Do...
