| Vinyl selections from Band Camp that were cool. Too many to list but here’s a few. Big fan of Bandcamp and they’re still doing Bandcamp Friday’s the first of the month. More royalties for the artists. Matthias Lindermayr - Triptych Nala Sinephro - Space 1.8 Maria Chaira Argiro - Forest City... | |
| JBL L112 Another vote for keeping them. Similar story for a pair of JBL L200 t3’s w/ the “baby butt” tweeters I got a couple years ago. With a modest tube amp they sound really good. I’m fortunate to have some storage space so it’s a mix of modern and vint... | |
| What will you pay for a new LP? $35 | |
| What Integrated Amp do You use Anthem STR. Solid performer but by no means the be all end all. I like the room correction software and the phono stage is really good. Have both MM & MC inputs allowing for dual turntables with adjustable gain. Balanced inputs, all via remote... | |

| Favorite Cowboy Junkies? Been a Cowboy Junkies fan since the beginning. There is a certain sameness to their music but every time they re-enter my listening orbit I enjoy the heck out of them. Most of the bases have already been covered but here’s a couple more obscuritie... | |

| What phono preamp are you using? PS Audio Stellar with a wide variety of cartridges. Currently Gold Note Donatello Black. | |
| Cartridge recommendation please... @corelli The MP200 has a nice full range sound. Pretty dynamic. The VM740 is leaner but more detailed. The VM760 has nice deep base and full soundstage. The MoFi is really smooth and detailed top to bottom. They’re both really good all around car... | |
| Phonostage recommendations under $3K Working with the same budget and some of your choices, I recently purchased a PS Audio Stellar Phonostage. So far, so good. Good sound and versatility. It’s my first PS Audio product. 30 day in home trial and I was able to trade in some older gear... | |
| Cartridge recommendation please... No idea about current pricing but close to your budget; Audio Technica VM740 or Nagaoka MP200If you decide to stretch your budget; Audio Technica VM760 or MoFi MastertrackerHave experience with all of them using vintage Kenwood DD TT and newer Tec... | |
| What solid state power amp are you using with your Harbeth Super HL5+ speakers? Anthem STR Integrated. I find the sound to be pretty neutral in a natural vs. dynamic comparison. Think acoustic guitars vs electric. If vinyl is your preference the phono stage in this amp is very good. | |
| Hard of Hearing Audiophile. Very informative, interesting post. It reinforces the repeated advice on this forum to trust your ears whatever their condition. Whether it’s a specific condition such as yours or many others, we all hear differently. +1 your positive experience w... | |
