The problem with streaming
@big_greg I agree Vinyl and CD are my first choice and as I listen streaming Myslivecek Violin Concerto in C. I smile thinking my streamer and DAC are wonderful too. Cheers. I have a pretty nice vinyl setup and a lot of times it’s magic but the...

Point is you have to have the skills to appreciate the tools you are using.   Damned young whippersnappers on new Ducati's! In my day you earned to right to buy a nice new bike. Your statements betray the precise attitude I was referencing.     
Law of Accelerated Returns
Thank you @steveashe this thread reminds me of the posers at the racetrack with their new Ducati’s and zero skills at dragging a knee and I stuff them on a 20 year old VFR400 or Hawk GT. Question is do these posers know how to listen? Music firs...

Reference my trappings cost $45k. Once again this goes over ones head and between their knees. Thinking OCD Mikey is right....  
The problem with streaming
MQA is crap. Hi Res and dsd for me. Bottom line is enjoy the music who cares if you stream or listen to an old AM radio. My Dad is tougher than your Dad, oh wait my Dad.......  
Best budget turntable?
@knotscott I would agree and I have the MP500 on one of my tables and the MP200 on the other. The MP200 would be a massive upgrade over the Grado. Nagaoka MP500 is a wonderful cartridge as is the MP200 and I think would be better suited with his ...

It's all subjective. Enjoy what you have and envy is not worn well. One mans garbage is another mans gold. If I die tomorrow I will die a happy content man. Remember it is about the music not the trappings, at least in my world.

McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
@stereo5 And you should, that is why you bought it. It is an Iconic Brand and like Mr Jay says if it weren't for McIntosh most of these other brands would never exist. People just love to hate like Laoman.

McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
Here is a good retort to this OCD Guy. My take is that Mike cannot buy McIntosh and he is out smearing them. He also had his AGD deal yanked also. It is all conjecture at this point....    
Feel free to talk me off the ledge
Heck with all the great reviews for the GoldenEar BRX speakers (other than the guys at Audio Science Review I may get a set of these to try. What the heck $1600.00 and if you do not like them return the. Will the smoke my QLN's? I doubt it but ... 
McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
@laoman So you are that guy that keeps sending his banking information to that Nigerian Prince. All this guy is, is hot air. I have no horse in the race either and I do not hate American companies like you though. IF I were in the US I would buy... 
Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it?
Better question is why would you do this? Get a good fire extinguisher a fiberglass rod and thick rubber gloves. Like the tech that works on my Tesla.  
The problem with streaming
I know I have a a decent stream set up in my Bel Canto DAV 2,7 and BC e Stream as well as Simaudio and DCS gear in my house but I prefer vinyl for serious meditative listening. Just my preference and It sounds way better through my system as do C...
