Vinyl and Lyngdorf TDAI-3400?
OK I use Lyngdorf's predecessor a TACT (Lyngdorf was a partner) 2.2x which is a digital preamp with room control, bass management and built in DAC. Everything that goes into it is digitiized to 192/24. Room control an bass management is 48 bit. Th... 
The best place to listen to music??
Here in New England we have an old expression, "Loose Marbles Roll West."

It is a lot cheaper and much less of a headache than hiring musicians and you get to write off your hi fi equipment! Let's see, did I buy that for the home or the office, (scratches chin.) 
How to listen to music.
It is more than just her teachers zkidd. She has a nervous system that is naturally wired for percussion. The vast majority of us could never play like that deaf or not. We will never understand how she perceives sound because we are not deaf. Whe... 
What are the current "speaker trends" in your opinions?
Won't work asv. Music has visceral aspects that headphones and chips can not replicate. Headphones are like sex with a rubber on.

They should probably have one music listening room and others that are relatively quiet for people who want to socialize. I think most of go to bars to socialize and we expect to have soft background music if anything. I go to concerts to listen t...

sounds real, you bet. Our specialty is the Aperol Spritzer. I keep a bottle of XO around for the really special people.  
The best place to listen to music??
Clio, a VPI for sure. I don't think the other one is an SME. The Tonearm is certainly not an SME. Maybe an older Graham. I have never heard Line Magnetic stuff. It is certainly reasonable priced for point to point electronics. The speakers must be... 
Recommended Speaker List for Atma-Sphere OTL Amplifiers.
Dragon, it all depends on how and what you like to listen to. If you are a rocker and like to play loud than an efficient horn system like those mentioned above would be the way to go. But if you tend to listen to more acoustic instruments, jazz a...

Yuck, I get sea sick. The bar might be a nice place to hear new music but for LISTENING like determining which cartridge images better? Forget it.There is also no deep bass. Old Garrard's are great for slip cuing but rumble like express trains reg...

I think I would have to be deaf to really understand where this wonderful musician is coming from. Maybe in another 10 years. 
Need Help! My Class A Amp Is Running Very Hot
Perfectly normal. The amp has over temp protection. If it were abnormal it would be shutting itself off. This is what class A amps do.  
Cartridge Reccomendations for the MoFi Ultradeck
The Mobil Fidelity Ultradec is a very nice straight forward little table that hits all the right notes. One problem is that the specs list the effective mass of the arm at 35 grams. It would have to be made out of lead.The effective mass of a 4 Po... 
Tonearm/Cartridge Combinations: What Do You Own (Or Have Owned) And Recommend?
drrsutiff, isn't that Windfeld Ti some cartridge! So far there isn't one cartridge tonearm pair here that is a loser. I'll add a Kuzma 4 Point 14 with a Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum and a Kuzma 4 Point 9 with the Windfeld Ti.  
What are the current "speaker trends" in your opinions?
It should be room control (DSP). But I believe that is best put in the pre amp not the speaker. This started in the late 80's with TACT and has been slow to catch on. TACT did not do itself any favors. Their manual was awful and the learning curve...
