| Starting Over and I need your help For sure audition, and there are some great suggestions above. My 2 cents...I’d consider a used Hegel H190 - a very solid one-box solution if the Zamp doesn’t work out well for you. There are a couple for sale on US Audio Mart within your budget.... | |

| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? @simonmoon Great back-story, thanks for sharing. For the vast majority of time, I listen to music, and pay almost no attention to how my gear is performing. I am a music first audiophile. Same here. et al Each to his own, but I was honestly ... | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? @drbay Some of the best songs in the world are very poorly recorded. Eg: The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack. Beautiful song and an amazing singer. I have my parents to thank for exposing me to her and many other greats as a... | |

| Looking for phono preamp advice in the $1000 - $1600 range Lot’s of great suggestions here, only chiming in as another GoldNote PH-10 owner. It does require the LPS to get the best out of it but it’s very good and I’ve spoken with several dealers/distributors other than the guy I bought of from who say it... | |

Otherwise nothing sounds bad to me in my system and even SXM radio is pretty good these days. But I would not sit down to a dedi... | |
| Tube preamp topologies and music I owned a Rogers EHF 200 and while it had gobs of power (KT150 / 127wpc) it was nowhere near as sweet and detailed as the Raven Osprey (6L6GC / 35wpc) that it replaced at less than 1/3 the cost of the EHF (list price) and the Rogers is virtually ... | |
| What was the most expensive record that you ever bought ? $169. For Christmas 2019 my wife bought me DSOM ($40) and a blue tooth turntable ($129) to connect to my Yamaha AVR. It was the only record we owned. Last time I owned one was 40 years prior. I played it once and found the courage to tell her I ... | |
