cool idea  
MoFi controversy
I am still stuck at people spending a $100+ for a record? It's what a person spends on food in Eastern Europe in 2 to 3 weeks.  I feel bad when I pay more than $10 for a used record.  This wealth and spending is beyond my imagination.    From...

@wideload that's not cool, you should have received good support from such a big brand!  
Speaker comparison
@ghdprentice  "Buy the ones costing more" yes, but. isn't it fun when cheaper ones outperform the pricey pair?  
how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable?
@audphile1 thank you! Yes, I think the upgrades as well as the synergy (first time I using the word!) will afford me a lot of not so subtle improvements!  
how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable?
So I had to compare it, I am an audiophile on some level (nowhere near the level of the folks here) after all. It’s not a fair comparison, I got a a Rega P3. Three times (3X) the price. I can say I grew very comfortable and happy with the Fluanc... 
Sonus Faber speakers - what's your experience?
they are super expensive, you can get way more for less money.  But $$$ is all relative

A rookie with 10K, seeking advise
@holmz  I loved the looks (from the pictures) and it seemed like a good combination for my needs. I was warned by the dealer that they are not audiophile speakers. But I didn't listen. I was a rookie. Still am. But It was better than some, like ... 
A rookie with 10K, seeking advise
I wouldn’t go crazy about the research. It’s supposed to be fun, enjoy it more than dwelling on it. The Lintons are not good speakers. I had them for a month. I had not one good thing to say about them. The Rega 3 is great. I would buy 4K speake... 
What the ship just happened?
I always double-box. No packaging is safe without it. costs $8 more, and I sleep better, and the buyer is happy. Learned it the hard way when shipped a lot of pottery.   
Suggest your most desired MSRP $1,500-$3,000 Stand Mount for a Shootout.

Thoughts on my speaker selection?
I had the same budget, and none of these were on my list. I did like the Revel though.  
How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music?
@mikelavigne I sometimes think like that, but still. There were a lot of good bands DURING the 80s just not necessarily famous or peaking in the 80s. I personally think Nirvana is as overrated as today’s cloned rock stars (I have no idea who, B... 
How did 70s rock music transition into 80s music?
I always hated the 80s - or so I thought. I was a teenager in the 80s and I listened to the 60s and I was convinced the 80s was worthless. But hey, a decade when so many great bands overlapped like The Queen and U2? Cannot be that terrible....
