Rega NAIA phonopreamp
I've never heard the Little Loco but having heard other Sutherland phonos, I'm sure it's very good. But if I owned the Naia/Aphelion 2, I'd stop at the Rega Aura. I own the P10/Aphelion 2. I tried the Rega Aria, then a Zesto Andros II, and finall... 
Mofi Sourcepoint 888?
Thanks for sharing that video @deep_333.  I'm really curious about these speakers. The above comments about judging a speaker by what was heard at a trade show or via a YouTube video with headphones just baffles me. Making an objective statement... 
The Music Room
They are usually very nice people to deal with but you will get a very low offer if you sell direct to them. As you state, they need to make a profit. Sure, it reduces the hassle of selling, saves you the stress of your tax concerns, and they han... 
Raven Osprey 3.1 vs Leben cs600
Same! Owned a Blackhawk latest version with the best possible tubes Raven had in stock. I would choose Leben or Line Magnetic to pair with DeVore's over any Raven. Not dissing Raven, they make a very solid product. I owned the Raven Blackhawk. O... 
Devore 093 and what subwoofers?
When I owned the O/93 I tried a few higher end REL subs. Ultimately I settled on no sub. Even though I was missing maybe the lowest of frequencies, the sound without the sub was just right.  
Integrated for Devore O/93
Check into Line Magnetic, 805ia, 845ia, or 845 premium. I had the O/93 with the 845ia and I really enjoyed that experience. I also tried a higher powered Audio Hungary Class A tube and solid state Aavik integrated and the Line Magnetic just had b... 
Recommendations for a shipper
Seconding the use of Craters and Freighters. I have used them twice for east to west coast, heavy/bulky/expensive speakers. They pick up, pack and crate like champs, and provide updates along the way.  
Shout out to Revival Audio Atalante 3 speakers
@sunshdw I've got the 5's in an 18' x 18' room per my post above. I would agree with goldprint you might get them to work with the plugs but I feel like my room is just large enough and in fact, Revival's guidelines for the 5's put my room size at... 
Prospectives on Chi-Fi
Lord Melton should be honored, respected, and acknowledged for bravely, boldly, and fearlessly expressing a political viewpoint with I am sure full advance knowledge that he would be insulted, ridiculed, and marginalized. Many are too weak, ignor...

Your Experience Selling on Discogs
I agree with the others on cataloging my collection. It was so easy and used the mobile app as I combed through and documented my collection. It's nice to be able to sort by various filters and easily share your collection with others as needed. ... 
New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
Not in this special case with the SourcePoints. The linked ad clearly states MD covers both shipping to the customer AND the return shipping, no exceptions.   Music Direct covers the return shipping IF the return is due to damaged / deflective ...

Hey @nonoise  At first, I didn't hear much of a difference with grills on or off. But the more I've done some critical listening I prefer grills off for sure. Not huge, but noticeable. I am the same as far as toe-in. I started with aimed at ears...

@nonoise thought I'd share some photos of my 5's in my system... Also... Room size: 18' x 18' (Speakers are 8' apart / 5' from side wall / 42" from front wall / 10' from seat) I played with positioning for days and this setup snapped e...
