| How to PM someone Seems to be what @soix got when the username is in an original post. But, when the username is in a reply the drop down appears. | |
| Streamers and software What akg_ca said re the Moon 280D, except that you seem not to need a DAC so Moon MiND2. | |
| A list of efficient speakers at ~$5K a pair. 94dB, Living Voice start at about that price - an extremely engaging sound that makes me want to keep listening. No idea of the cost in the USA but that are well worth a try if you can. As ever, your taste, your equipment, your room. | |
| In need of a preamp with a prominent display I'll second the Moon by Simaudio recommendation. Lovely big displays that I can read clear across the room. They sound terrific too. | |
| Looking for High Quality Streamer Only Options (NO DAC)? +1 on the Moon MiND 2 recommendation. | |
| Time for a new cartridge Have a look see at Charisma Audio. I have their Signature One MC and love everything about it. www.charismaaudio.com/?page_id=92 | |
| Phono Preamp Selection @grislybutter @smerk +1 on the Moon 110LP. I have the 310 LP with 320S PSU. | |
| An integrated bargain? Moon gear is really rather special IMHO. My system now comprises the 600 and 700 series kit. Having heard the 641 I would concur with the reviewer’s opinion. | |

| Best streamer, don't want Roon, don't want a screen, A DAC is OK but not necessary Innuos Pulse or Moon MiND 2, find somewhere to make the comparison and decide. | |
| Primare/ Vincent Adio /NAD /Rogue/ AVA /Hegel...- need a simple and reliable integrated I-5, recently refurbished listed on Canuck Audiomart (shipping USA and Canada), cannot post the link for reasons unknown. The eBay listing additionally shows the receipt. | |
| Moon 340i and Speakers I used Sonus Faber Concertinos when I had the 340i. A great combination | |
| Source for Garrard 301 plinth (and other 301 questions) As @br3098 states above, this guy's work looks really good. Not sure on pricing but ... ... the $50 for a 30-minute consultation would be a bit of a red flag for me (e.g. "Need help deciding which turntable is best for you?"). Surely advice leadi... | |
| If Steely Dan had a different vocalist @soix I'm more of a Pere Ubu and Throbbing Gristle kind of guy but I completely agree with @baylinor's points. Difficult to play does make great or avant garde. I completely understand that some like the music and I respect that, but it is not for... | |
| If Steely Dan had a different vocalist @baylinor, 👍 +1 |
