Problem with phono stage
If I may piggyback on the OP thread, coincidentally I was about to open a discussion on the capacitance VS shielding subject. Ralph is totally correct on the capacitance subject which is something I discovered on my rig with shielded cables, hum a...

I have seen some reviews but nothing formal or verifiable, at the moment I just purchased a Luxman PD-444 which will do (surely awesome) while I wait

New Yamaha integrated amps
I had a 2100, sold it, was a very special amp. I thought this 2200 would be miles ahead but based on the comments it will be just slightly better. Agree that mods could make the 2100 better, that was very interesting audioman, thank you 
Vinyl collection, now what?

Phono pre for Technics SL-1000R (Esoteric E-02?)
Thank you, I will keep your offer in mind, the only reason I haven't done it yet is I have a stock Technics 1210 mk5 which I'm selling, thought on modifying it with the DIN connector but since I'm selling it and getting a different TT and tonearm ...

Hi Lew, my experience would be somewhat limited as it is not that diverse but the issues I had in the past.1. USPS, shipped back some speaker cables to the manufacturer for refund, $540 speaker cables, USPS priority. Package from Miami to Denver w... 
To venture back into vinyl or not,...that is the question.
I forgot to add, why do I think it is more practical getting good vinyl now? Than a few years ago? You have Discogs which is a good resource for excellent vintage vinyl, seems that more people have favored digital over analog and got rid of their ...

For the OP, read the opinions and decide for yourself who makes more sense to you, no one can tell you what to do, you have to experience it yourself. I started going back into the listening hobby a few years back, bought a Technics SL-1210 mk5 ou...
