Has this ever happened to you?
@deep_333 thanks for your concern. Even with all my tinkering, I still find lots of time to just listen - but now I am liking that part a whole lot more. In fact, I am going through all my lps right now and putting the ones I don’t just love in a ...

Chord M Scaler with HiFi Rose 130 streamer?
