they are somehow maintaining a lot of pictures in the Virtual Systems section. Maybe they could use the same mechanism.Very true, I forgot about that. As for posting to a sharing site, I've been on forums where they ask members to do that, and let...

Well, call me a complainer, but there are still duplicate threads in"New Discussions in the past 48 hours" and "Forum contributions in the past 48 hours." It takes up real estate which can be used for older threads.IMO, "Forum contributions in the... 
Tube options for Jolida
The 5751 Blackplates are excellent premium tubes, very dynamic.For a more relaxed, classic sound from the same family of tubes is the RCA 12AX7 Blackplate. The Blackplates have a very open sound.I would also recommend Mullard Longplates, but tube ... 
Entry level amp

I miss the "Old Threads" section that was located below Virtual Systems. It was sorted and updated by new activity.Does anybody miss this section? It was better than looking thru each separate forum for an interesting old thread. Also, threads tha... 
totem/nad denon
adetunde,You're making the right decision to keep the NAD. If you're looking for a TT, I suggest starting a new thread in the Analogue section.List your system; NAD, Totems, cables, size of room, and the types of music you listen to. Also include ... 
totem/nad denon
If you enjoy listening to music, you are definitely going to hear a difference. The NAD and Totem are a great combination for a 2 channel setup. For starters, Totem speakers need high power and current which the NAD has. It’s a matter of prioritie... 
Warm sounding power cord for for CD player to suppress digital glare on vocals.
