What Integrated Amp do You use
Cayin h80a. It’s a hybrid. 80 wpc pure class A. I use nos mullards in the pre section. Sublime 
Nicks or McVie.....
Great post. I’ve had many heated debates over this topic. McVie has always been better to my ears. Listen to her in “warm ways”. Puts a smile on my face every time.  
OK - Now What…?
Aren’t you lucky.  
My Apologies to Miller Carbon
I think mc has great info to divulge. I also find him quite funny. Don’t know why people take his insults seriously. Who gives a  %~<£?  
Considering a POSSIBLE replacement for speakers. Opinions?
Great pair of monitor audio pl100 mk ii for sale on us audio. 2500.00$.  
Appreciation
Just got back from chillin with the family in lake Travis. What a glorious place. Awesome people. Makes me want to move.  
Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's?
Pioneer pl-630. All stainless. Very heavy. Built like a tank. Has the cool quartz or manual pitch gauge. Great table.  
Average Price Spent for Speakers
4K used is my budget. Have 2 systems. That 8k 
Need a DAC Recommendation.
Chord qutest. Brand new 1400. Fantastic dac.  
Rack recommendations
Carpenters are swamped and you will pay a premium. Go to a cabinet maker and show them a pic and give them the dimensions you want. Btw, I’m a master Carpenter and make my own shelving. We are booked for at least a year.  
The Hungarian is here and staying for ever.
Thanks. I’m considering buying the amp. It seems very well built and the reviews are awesome. I like the Spartan eastern block look.

Does Steely Dan sound bright to you?
Not bright but nasally and boring.  
Old Amps that can still Kick Butt
Any older krell. I love my first gen ksa-100. Had the electrolytics replaced and it’s good for another 30yrs.. 80lbs, dual mono, pure class A. There are very few amps I’d upgrade to and those will cost a small fortune.  
why did my record player slow down, speed up, then go back to normal?
atmosphere is correct. The speed potentiometer might be corroded. This happens a lot on old technics 1200 tt. It's also could be the speed control module.
