Songs of debauchery and excess
Half or more of George Thorogood’s songs.    
Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital?
Asctim-very interesting points you make! I looked at this subject that way! Similar things could be said about digital vs film photography.  Thanks for the enlightenment.  
Reliable Mid-Priced 7.2 Channel Receiver
I would suggest Anthem but may be a bit above your price range. Maybe a used one or one on sale ? I think the build & sound quality is the next level from most of what has been mentioned & it has an excellent , proprietary sound correction... 
Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll
I own & really enjoy the best/ worst of both worlds. Full class A, 100 watts / side tube integrated amp. Rogers High Fidelity EFH 200 Mark II. Sounds great; very powerful, dynamic, detailed w/ full frequency extensions but as airy, beautifully... 
RIP Christine McVie
Very sad to hear! She was by far my favorite FM member, supremely talented & a class act all the way. She will be missed. RIP    
Amp pairing with Tannoy Turnberry?
mmcgil: You can call Roger Gibonni & speak w/ him directly about a trial. I think he may agreeable to that. I couldn't put the Prima Luna back in it's box & return it to a friend fast enough when I put the Rogers in my system. They're not ... 
Amp pairing with Tannoy Turnberry?
I don’t know your speakers but another thought might be a Rogers High Fidelity EHF 200 Mark II integrated amp. Rogers is selling directly a used one w/ their full lifetime warranty for $8500 or best offer. I own one & it’s substantially better... 
TechDAS Reliability vs SME
Might want to consider a Basis turntable & arm . Time tested quality & reliability & sound excellent, substantially better than the SOTA which I also owned at one point.. Absolute Sound loves them & Stereophile never mentions them ... 
Basic Questions
Soix nailed it! Very easy to have 2 channel sound separated out from your home theater using the same pair of main speakers w/ that scenario. I suggest you get a good integrated amp w/ a good phono amp & home theater bypass. You can connect yo... 
Digital is far better than vinyl
I guess satire is a lost art. I obviously knew the initial statement was a joke and was offering an analogy.    I happened to own the streamer he mentioned ( relatively new purchase) a really good turntable/arm/ cartridge  ( for a  long time) in ... 
Welcome to Hell, here's your 8-Track
Hilarious Dekay! Made my day! Thanks   
Digital is far better than vinyl
Wonder why you bothered to go do “high end” on the turntable? A Kenner close & play from 1968 would have sufficed for your highly scientific endeavor.    How did your tests turn out comparing the Toyota Corolla vs the McLaren GT?   
System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live
Thanks Lewm. I heard the Voltis at last year’s Capitol Audiofest in MD & I bought the pair at the show! Don’t need a sub , nice looking, “normal”, well finished boxes that are easy to place & easy to drive. I’ve been very happy with them f... 
System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live
I didn’t read all the responses but here’s my $.02. Of course nothing compares to good quality live music. There are too many steps along the way to reproducing music in our home w/ varying degrees of sound degradation.    For the type of music m... 
Old school shootout: Snell A/III vs. Original B&W 801
I owned the A- III’s & really enjoyed them. I had a VPI turntable, Souther Linear Arm, Adcom Cross Coil cartridge, PS Audio preamp & then an Audible Illusions pre amp, Amber power amps& then a Conrad Johnson Premier Four power amp. Th...
