Seems like a lot of folks are putting their Primaluna amps for sale...
Seems like there are a ton of entry and mid level PL owners that want to move up from Prologue series to Dialogue and Evo 400....Owning a Prologue Classic integrated, I’ve been drawn-like-a-moth-to-flame to every forum thread on the ‘Net with “Pri... 
My Demo results: I feel like I'm at a frustrating block in my speaker journey
If you’re open to considering 1970s vintage, a well maintained pair of JBL L65s might be worth seeking out for an audition. 
Looking for a good speaker for my metal shop.
As a decent, lower end option, I’d say Polk TSI 200s.  I had a pair of TSI 100s in a 14’x 24’ art studio environment with lots of dust and they were great for that space and very cost effective. 
With what you know now what components doe you wish you had bought years ago?
Klipschorns (1976) and an AR turntable (early/mid 80s) 
Primaluna prologue premium integrated and magneplanar LRS
Glad to hear of your experience with the LRS.  I’ve been considering trying a pair of them with my Prologue Classic......Listening to more than a fair bit of jazz, esp. jazz vocals and am consigned to placement on the long side of a narrow-ish “li... 
Tidal $5 for 5 Mo. Offer?
Well,...I went thru all the motions of setting up this $5 for 5 mo. Trial subscription on a website with the all the requisite Tidal logos, etc..(Thought that was safer than merely linking to it from FB or IG).  This was at 4:45 pm CST in the USA.... 
Free, Higher Resolution Streaming Radio?
For sure, regarding 320 kbps, mike_ in_nc!I’ve, just within the last week, started listening to HD Radio Blues Network at 320 kbps MP3 and it sounds great.  I think maybe Blues lends itself to be a bit more forgiving of less-than-perfect sources b... 
What is your top priority items on Black Friday Sale.
Would dearly love to find about $900 in pocket change under the couch cushions and then locate a Bluesound Vault on sale for less than a grand. 
GREAT MUSIC - SO POORLY RECORDED...
Journey’s (first album?) Album from about 1978 with “Lights” and “Feeling That Way”.  Had both the LP and CD.  Great music/dreadful SQ on both. 
Recommendations for Vintage Speakers
FWIW, I owned an SX-1250 back in the day (Bought, brand new @Best Products in Houston, TX in 1977.).  I acquired the receiver as the first piece of a system I was building, so auditioning a lot of speakers-from-that-era was next on the agenda.  As... 
Novice Question: Dedicated Streamers
This all clears up a lot for me.  Thanks, all!  Prob. For the foreseeable future, I’ll continue to stream tunes from my Mac > Airport Express....I’d eventually like to acquire a better DAC and go wired rather than wireless (rare dropouts but th... 
Novice Question: Dedicated Streamers
Thanks all and definitely appreciate your inquiry, Mazian as I suppose my confusion about these components may have similarities...  Right now, I’ve got iTunes on my Mac playing 16 bit AIFF ripped from CDs going wirelessly to an Apple Express whic... 
Exotic vocal - Male
If I’m reading the OP correctly, the late Jimmy LaFave comes to mind... 
What's your favorite lyric from a song?
Many too many have stood where I standMany more will stand here tooI think what I find strange is the way you built me upThen knocked me down againThe part was fun but now it's overWhy can't I just leave the stage?Maybe that's because you securely... 
Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people.
LOVED my Teac X-7R!....If It were a car, it would’ve been one of those Volvos in the old Popular Mechanics magazine ads that racked up 7 figures of miles.  It went in the shop a couple of times more than I’d have preferred toward the end of its us...
