| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? "How "safe" do you want to be? Personally, I'd never buy any speaker I couldn’t first audition in my room. Your money. Your ears.

| Thoughts About Turntable Upgrades In my experience vinyl is amazing, but very expensive to tap into the magic. I currently have a VPI Prime Signature-Pass XP-17(Phono)-Ortofon Cadenza Bronze cartridge-Audience SX phono cable. This is around 15K to spin records and its sounds gre... | |

| Used PS Audio Items They have a very generous trade in policy. Also as above mentioned they sell a lot of gear. I think at their price point they make very good stuff. | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil Less is More, is it a quality dac ? Its a great DAC... I sold it and upgraded to a PS Audio Directstream mk 1- which was clearly better in all sonic ways.

| Top turntables under $2k Just my experience...As I went up the turntable route...I realized the magic of analogue experience was expensive. The first time I had that "Come to Jesus moment" was when I put together the following....VPI Prime-Ortofon Black --Pass labs XP-17.... | |
| Integrated Amp Shopping Decisions I went from the Parasound Int to a Pass INT 60...it was a step up...but not huge. The Parasound will also give you a basic Phono pre-MC/MM not the best but better than entry level. I also thought the DAC was better than I expected. | |
| Integrated Amp Shopping Decisions Parasound HINT6----would be a great choice. I've owned it...way beyond its price point especially used. | |
| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? Plinius 8150 Integrated Amp Parasound Halo Integrated 2 world beaters at their price point...especially used. |
