Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog?
@camb,Thanks for sharing the article. But I am afraid it won’t make any difference to vinyl aficionado’s. They are just living in ‘denial’. I enjoy extracting the ‘best’ each format (CD, Vinyl and Streaming) has to offer rather than getting into e... 
Phonostage recommendations under $3K

Amazon Music HD..... Not For Audiophiles
Amazon HD: I wasn’t too impressed with catalog and more importantly the availability of my favorite artist in high resolution. For my personal taste in music along with Aurender’s superb Conductor app, Qobuz offers the best streaming experience.

Anyone ditch the sub after large speaker purchase?
+1, ricred1 & big_greg. I have yet to hear a full range speaker with ‘passive’ bass woofers that can replicate the experience of a well integrated subwoofer. An average user may have this notion that subwoofers are being added to simply extend...
