| Rega Brio integrated - buzzzzz Possibly transformer hum...unplug the unit for a day or two, open it and try tightening the screw in the middle of the transformer | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding i always though u2's joshua tree sounded like spinal tap. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? bkeske, i was just listening to notorious byrd bros. as well--easily their best even if "space oddysey" sounds a bit dated. i just learned that "get to you" was miscredited on the record and is actually a gene clark song. ruebent, your frontier ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? 80s boston bands this weekend: the neats--crash ant crush--pounding sorta-folkrock with a great deep-voiced lead singer the neighborhoods--the high hard one--replacements-like, but tight, with concise hooky songs robin lane & the chartbuste... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? i never warmed up to wussy, but electric rock music might be the great lost album of the 90s--it's brilliant. | |
| Help selecting Pioneer Elite used receiver fwiw i've used the 80txv in my bedroom for over 12 years--it still works flawlessly and sounds surprisingly good, with more power than you'd expect. $250 does seem pricey for it but it's a good piece. of the others, i think the 94txh was their tot... | |

| Use or sell/replace Oppo UDP-203? personally, if the oppo is new-in-box i'd sell it (you can get north of two grand for it) and replace it with an inexpensive cd transport and a streaming dac (something like the bluesound node or yamaha musiccast would be around $500, though you c... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? i love that bram tchiakovsky record--it has that inimitable quality of sounding like it was written and recorded in about 30 minutes. his third record."funland" is also really underrated. more picks: elliott easton, "change no change pezband, "... | |
| Vintage Integrated Amplifiers With Great Sound among those i've owned the hk pm665 and kenwood ka7100 sound vg. likewise the 80s kyocera receivers (861, 661) are great and hugely undervalued. | |
| headphone DAC/amp just tested the smsl su6/sh6 ($300) and liked it quite a bit | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? bslon, reubent et. al.--really great obscure picks (hitmen. wire train)--nice to meet some fellow travelers. in the same vein: the johnsons--break tomorrows day the neats--blues end blue crippled pilgrims--under water | |
