Looking to Develop A Short List of Amplifier Candidates For A Pair Of JBL 4367 Speakers
I really dont think people come to the forums to hear advice from CHAT GTP! Gimmie a break!    Anyone can do that!    People want real life advice from those who know, at least that’s what this site has always been about, I hope this isn’t the... 
Phono cartridge choice
I owned a MP-200 and listened to it for many months,very nice music on my REGA P3, I also had a Clear Audio Maestro Ebony v2 on a Project Xtension 10. Honestly though, MM's dont work well for me (to warm and velvety) so I am a MC guy I finally rea... 
Qobuz vs Airplay
And YES do not Airplay anything.   
Qobuz vs Airplay
I have tried both Tidal and Qobuz using my Aurender X100L music streamer connected via USB audio to a Oppo BDP 105. I can safely say that Qobuz does sound very good (the best) but Tidal has a way better selection and a lot if not the majority of t...

KT88 Tube Recommendation - Mac MC275
I agree with Stereo5. Whatever your hearing that is undesirable, its probably not the tubes. I would hook the amp up to something different and see if the problem persists.   
Have some fun with bookshelf monitors!!
Why bother with that NAD? KEF makes a pair of book self speakers where you only need to add a source (LS50W) they have built in 230watt amps on each speaker! and digital and analog inputs galore! Bluetooth, Airplay, Wifi, Ethernet even a USB audio...

Martin Logan, get the biggest ones you can afford. My whole family is into Hi-fi, my brother had the LSA Statement and drove a pair of Martin Logan Vantages ...Incredible combo.

At an upgrade path fork in the road
Thats funny because of all the gear you have I Honestly think its the Prima Luna holding your system back. The PL is good but its too warm and lush and velvety sounding , I recommend auditioning at least three pre amps in your system, this will br...

Looking to Develop A Short List of Amplifier Candidates For A Pair Of JBL 4367 Speakers
I wouldnt hesitate to pair them with a 75wpc McIntosh MC275 tube amplifier. Also, you could go with a Clean 200wpc solid state amp. To tell you the truth these are super easy speakers to drive. You will find that the speaker will open up and be wa... 
Brian Wilson
I cant help but feel how directly influential the Beach Boys were to the Manson murders. I mean after Dennis picked up the 2 girls of Charlies hitch hiking, then  Dennis gets to know Charlie, he gets Brion to come out to the farm so Charlie can au...
