Whats on your turntable tonight?
I am on a PABLO CRUISE kick right now. They recorded some stellar albums with great Producers such as Bill Schnee and Val Garay. How do you post a pic here?  
Truly Stunning Vinyl Album
Dave Grusin - Discovered Again  Sheffield Lab Direct to Disk Recording  This album is stellar audiophile.   
Electrostatics and tubes
I ran MartinLogan THEOS and my current Magnepan 1.7i's with my Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated amp with absolutely no issues. Both sets of speakers sounded stellar.   
Maggies and subwoofer integration
Magnepan 1.7i's with two subs!! The only way to live!!!  
Do You Buy Speakers Without Hearing Them?
I replaced Vandersteen 3A Signatures (never auditioned before) with Magnepan 1.7i's (never auditioned before). Extremely pleased with both purchases. Especially the 1.7i's. Dana   
Why do people like reel to reel players?
Reel to Reel Rules if you have a quality deck and the funds for killer tapes. How the hell do you post pics on here?!  
Wayne's Audio Turntable Periphery Stabilizing Outer Ring
I own and use a Wayne's Audio periphery ring and love it. It is the one for a Technics SL-1210GAE. I have been using it 3-4 years now with no regrets or accidents. You get quite used to setting it properly on the LP and centering by eye. Highly re... 
Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One
Anything scored by Ennio Morricone. Once Upon a Time in the West is a classic. One of my most 'favorite' soundtracks is Electra Glide in Blue from James William Guercio. Gatefold will cool posters and a booklet. Skins  
Manley Massive Passive
I believe when the EQ is Bypassed it is still in Passive Mode and utilizing all of the tubes - Correct?  Gives it that tubular love and warmth. I am considering the Massive Passive or the Tegeler EQP-1. These units are designed on the tradition of... 
This is good Schiit...
I did the same thing and am diggin' it!  Picked up a Freya + and some sweet NOS tubes from Kevin Deal at Upscale, and also bought two TYR Monoblocks. Bought very affordable balanced cables from one of the two companies that Schiit recommends on th... 
Buyer Dispute
Dude, that Seller is full of sh$t!! Those tweeters were toast when he packed them up. He did you wrong on purpose, no forgiveness when it comes to that kind of money. Open a dispute NOW with PayPal or it will haunt you forever. Good luck! Dana  
Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs?
Magnepan 1.7i's and two powerful subs. My system has never sounded better to my ears.  
High Fidelity Cables, why most threads about them got deleted
I have been using their RCA Magnetic Adapters in my turntable chain for several years now. I really like them and hear a difference for the better. I use two pairs. One pair coming directly off of my Technics SL-1210GAE RCA Outputs and the other o... 
My New Magnepan 1.7i's sound dull and lifeless on the top end...why?
Sounds strange. I bought my pair of 1.7i's about 2 years ago with never have seen or listened to a Magnepan in my life. I figured for that low dough it was worth taking a chance. Hooked them up to my Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated amp wi... 
Tubes for Magnepan’s.
Look for a used Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated amp. I run that with my Magnepan 1.7i's and it is truly amazing with KT-150's. Dana
