| Invert ? I've got Herron Audio line stage preamp and phono preamp. He's got polarity rocker switches on the backs of both; he recommends trying them each way but says a lot of people can't hear any difference, and I could not. He's also got an 'Invert' on... | |
| Steely Dan UHQR @goodlistening64 - + 1; I am very happy with my UHQR of 'Aja', and I've already ordered some in the Atlantic Records 75th Anniversary series (and those are $60). What turntable Fremer uses doesn't bother me; it might make the UHQR sound better, bu... | |
| buying (NOS) tubes online @oddiofyl + 1 - I buy all my tubes from Brent; I can trust him to make good recommendations based on what I tell him I'm looking for, too. | |
| Perfect Vinyl Forever @lewm - There is usually residual paper substance on the surface from paper, non-polylined sleeves. I understand that there can be substance residual just from the pressing process itself. These will usually not be that noticeable but it depends o... | |
| Zafvino Silver Dart Graphene vs. ? I've also got Zavfino Prima speaker cables, and I am very happy with them.... | |

| Amp first approach to build a system. Anyone did it ? @newbee + 1 | |
| What percentage of digital vs. analog? @grislybutter - some people sell their entire collections en masse to larger record stores. These days I listen to my vinyl about 70% of the time and CD's the other 30%; don't have a good streaming setup yet... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? It's the internet and anonymity, and it's certainly not restricted to high-end audio; you'll see it in forums/opinions of just about any subject that exists. | |
| Have you asked yourself this question? @lewm - all that on half a gummy? Dang, I wish I could get a buzz that cheaply - I would need at least 20 of those gummies before I'd start to feel anything.... But I always enjoy cannabis with my music.... | |
| Have you asked yourself this question? For my 2-channel setup, I play mostly analog (except for some YouTube vids). For my headphone setup, I play mostly digital. | |

| Steely Dan UHQR I've had the OG AB-1006 since the day it came out in '77, and it is indeed an awesome sounding record - just listened to it last night, in fact. Just received the UHQR today and gave it a listen. I find the UHQR to be superior sonically in every ... |
