| You're not a true audiophile unless... These are starting to sound like Jeff Foxworthy bits. I love it 😂 | |
| Looking for RCA cables from preamp to amp? I have been very happy with cables from Snake Oil Audio (I know haha). I believe they are one of the OEM cable makers for Schiit. | |
| Best Tube Amp for High Sensitivity Speakers: 45, PX25, or 300B? Personally, I love my Elekit 8600 300B amp. Even if you get someone to build it for you, the price is fantastic and you won't have to wait nearly as long as you will for a new Decware amp 🤮 | |

| Cornwall IV – tube (amp) choice Have someone build you an Elekit TU-8600 (with Lundahl transformers). Best money you'll ever spend. | |

| Every day I see another turntable recommendation... Hit up Kat at Upscale Audio. She's very knowledgeable and, if you buy the cartridge from them, they'll set everything up for you as well. | |
| 2nd systems- who’s got one? Four here: office, home office, living room and garage. Garage is my primary. | |
