| GREAT MUSIC - SO POORLY RECORDED... 10,000 Maniacs In My Tribe, Derrick and the Dominos Layla, both great and both dreadful sounding. the Simon and Garfunkel from the 60's engineered by Roy Halle still sound superb. | |
| Best speakers for max. $3000? Rega, Green Mountain Audio | |
| Imported audio are you getting the same level of performance vs domestic priced equip? Rega's new little Brio sounds better than my 30 year U.S. amp which was like 5k. | |
| Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection? sold everything except for a couple of albums, Joni Mitchell "Court and Spark' Nautilus, and "Sgt. Pepper" MoFi pressings. everything on HD and backed up. DAC's after 2013 are finally very good with top end electronics. | |

Terry Bateman who designed the Brio showed a prototype to John Gandy and J... | |
| Can one ever be "done" in this hobby? i am done. stopped reading the magazine and now just enjoy the music. | |
| Reasonable but not outragious interconnects try Rega RCA interconnects. 1m for $100. Rega is known for it’s performance/value ratio | |
| Bookshelf Recommendations Rega RS1's. do not get the newer RX1's. disappointing. | |
| Preamps Ayre or Rega, or Audible Illusions pre. | |
