| Richard Strauss Recordings Well, to be clear, I wasn’t being critical of anyone, especially anyone who posted here (reminds me of being synagogue on Rose Hashanah and being bitched out by the rabbi for the poor attendance. Like Dude, you’re yelling at the wrong people). I... | |
| Complete vinyl system, TT to speakers, for $1500? Now your question seems to be : will the built in phono stage on a budget turntable drive the amps in powered speakers?. Yes, it would have been helpful to frame it that way originally. My answer is…I don’t know. However, one can get a reasonable ... | |

| Okto DAC 8 Stereo (Shout-out) Isn’t this the DAC that KR uses in his occasional multichannel reviews in Sterephile? | |
| Richard Strauss Recordings Interesting in that in this particular crowd, except for myself and @jasonbourne71 there doesn’t seem to be any love for Strauss outside of the Four Last Songs. At the very least I would have thought it would have appealed to the audiophile aspe... | |
| Complete vinyl system, TT to speakers, for $1500? Sony makes some entry level tables. Pair with powered speakers and whatever cartridge comes with the table and done. Look for Japanese of Chinese manufacturers selling there. | |
| Turntable for girlfriend Buy her a cheap table to start. Then if you have fights in the future and need to make up to her you can buy an upgrade | |

| Dumb Question btw, not a dumb question | |
| Dumb Question I will repeat advice that I have offered elsewhere. I use an Oppo 105 and I also prefer SACDs. I use a DAC with HDMI inputs (Bryston DAC3, there are others) and output the DSD layer of the SACDs into the DAC. The DAC runs about 4K now. | |
| HDCD vs the Newer SHM-CD, BluSpec, UHQCD, etc I have heard of MQA CDs. Since I don't do MQA I can't comment further. Not sure what you mean about "ripping Blue Specs....doesnt work". Mine ripped fine. However when I play the rips back through my server, and simultaneously play the disc ... | |
| So This Really Is The End.... Yeah, the thread title had me ready to reach for the suicide hotline number. To the OPs point, its sad, but lets face it, even with the vinyl resurgence physical media has been blown out of the water by streaming. It's amazing to find any reco... | |
| How rare is an audiophile @fleschler I tend to ask patients when I’ve seen them a few times what their interests are. That may not be a common thing with PCPs, as we are all so rushed these days | |
