...bookshelf speakers that sound good at low volume...
One of my local dealers recently picked up Fyne Audio. I heard the F500 Bookshelf. Excellent efficient speaker. 89db at 8 ohms. Price $895. 
Adding a small subwoofer for music in 2020
The JL Audio D108 is still in the line up. However I have the D110. For $200 more it's a much better sub. I have it in a small room. 
Conrad Johnson and Herron comparisons
I had a CJ ET3 SE for three years. It was ok. But it just lacked dynamics. Always seemed to round of the top end. Also it loves to eat tubes. Had to change them every 9 months. I finally demoed a Luxman CL 38U SE and it took me all of five minutes... 
Fyne Speakers now in the USA
I stopped by today to purchase some albums. The Fyne models they have are the 301's, 500 standpoint in Gloss Black and the 501 a floor stander. Didn't have a chance to hear them as I was short on time.  
I underestimated the impact a new cartridge would have

Choosing an Amplifier to go with Spendor D7

Evolving from a avr to an av processor. Benefit?
I have two processors the Krell Showcase for movies and the Luxman CL38U SE for music. The difference between the two for music is night and day. 
Preamp under $2,000.
Belles Aria Preamp is excellent. Made in the USA. 
New sheriff in town: Luxman D-10x
For those a more attainable High End player I recently heard the Luxman D-03X for around $3300. Also does MQA-CD and streaming. 
Looking to upgrade a new cart to my TT
I've had the Dynavector Karat 17DX cart on my Luxman TT for about a week and I couldn't be more impressed. The bass is deep and detailed. The top end still has bite but no harshness. Also greater detail in the background instruments and singers. P... 
All New Pure Audio ONE Integrated Amp Reviewed!
What tubes does it take? Is it auto bias? How easy is it to remove the cage? Does it have a high gain factor that decreases the life of the tubes? Can you use a variety of power tubes?  What's the warranty. Any info on these questions? 
Thoughts on Peachtree Audio Nova300
Some years back at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest Michael Kelly used a Peachtree Integrated w/his Aerial 7T's. He was involved w/their line of speakers at the time as he designed the drivers. He's a big fan of their products.
