What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs?
@hifiman5 I’m intrigued by the fact that you are seeking some of the source material.  I part because I’ve been contemplating selling much of my cd collection because so much of it is accessible via streaming services. Even hiRes services (I use Q...

Upscale Audio and Primaluna
I have the PrimaLuna EVO 400 and have never been happier.  I talked over several months with one of their sales reps and never felt pressured not did I find him overly critical of my current gear.  He even looked up the specs on on of my pieces an... 
Clear difference between Harbeth 30.2 & Super HL5 Plus?
Firstly thanks for the offer.  I may still take you up on the offer to hear the Luxman. You are absolutely right and it took a failure of my LM amp for me to be pushed to do something different.  I now have a PrimaLuna EVO 400 and it is night and ... 
Clear difference between Harbeth 30.2 & Super HL5 Plus?
Okay another question for this group.  I’m really struggling to get my Harbeth SHL5 plus to wow me.  I’ve had them for about 3 years and have them plugged into a Line Magnetic 501ia tube amplifier (100 w).  It just feel like I’m being pushed into ... 
Best 80s New Wave
@maxnewid  Big Catherine Wheel fan.   Saw a Fontana triple billing at First Ave in Minneapolis with Ocean Color Scene, Catherine Wheel and House of Love.  HoL one of my favorites as well.  What I’m finding, sadly, with the Catherine Wheel is they ... 
Best 80s New Wave
@maxnewid just reading through this thread again as it seems to have regained some life. If you like Chameleons, its probable you’ve also heard Abecedarians.  However, in the event you haven’t heard them I wanted to bring them to your attention.  ... 
Rega P10 v Complete rebuild Garrard 401!
@noromance yea, that may well be what chris suggested but can’t say for certain.  What I can say is that a) sounds familiar and b) that was about the price point.  Just read reviews on it and nothing but superlatives.  Have one?  More superlatives? 
Rega P10 v Complete rebuild Garrard 401!
Still here and following the thread.  Fairly sure I will do the 301 but will likely pair my Harbeths with a pair of REL S812s first.  Likely starting a new job in the new year. Once over that hurdle I will reach out to Chris at Woodsong and have h... 
Rega P10 v Complete rebuild Garrard 401!
Thanks scar972.  Think we are all on lock-down right now.  Plus I’m pretty sure I’m going to go with the 401 and work with Chris.  I looked at your pictures...wow what a system.  Looks like you have everything set up in your media room.  I’ve been... 
Different Tubes and general purpose?
Wsrrsw I’ve perhaps underestimated my hours, but not by much.  On average i may get 6-8 hours a month, but with the current quarantine its maybe 4-5 hours a week.  Room is large with 14ft ceiling.  Speakers are Harbeth HL5 plus.  Power seems fine ... 
Different Tubes and general purpose?
Thanks plga. I will take your advice.  Much appreciated.  Also thanks imhififan.  Is there a decoder ring for rectifier?   I think i get the others, but still not sure what role each plays in sound production.   
Different Tubes and general purpose?
Thanks Dekay for the follow up.  That has yet to be answered and i honestly tries to research this, but struggled to find anything authoritative.  It would be helpful to know.  
Different Tubes and general purpose?
Facten thanks for the constructive help.  I have had a nice power conditioner for a few years now and have noticed a small improvement...really just eliminating any very faint background noise that might otherwise degrade or mute certain frequenci... 
Different Tubes and general purpose?
Thanks all for the practical advice.   I’ve had my amp for 2 years now and it probably has 50-60 hours of use, so I would have thought it is been broken in.  I will call my distributor and ask what he thinks in terms of where to start on rolling a...
