Outstanding service from MusicDirect in the USA and Avid Hifi in the UK, read on please!
I've been doing business with Jim (Davis) for as long as I can remember.  Music Direct is Top-Notch in my book.Jon is my go to guy.  What a great company. 
Shipping. Hard Lesson.
I just had this happen with a really nice cassette deck.  The unit was packaged correctly by the seller, but UPS did a number on it anyway.Both of us also " commiserated over a fine piece of equipment destroyed".  Nice way to say it.Sorry for you... 
ModWright SWL 9.0 Anniversary Edition Phono Stage
I had this pre for quite a few years with the phono stage.  IMHO, you'd be hard pressed to find a better sounding phono stage for $350. 
Rega planar 25/rb600 cartridge recommendations
IIRC, the AT150Sa was/is the replacement for the 150MLX.  I've tried the 150Sa stylus on my 150MLX and though it sounded great.  I was curious if it was better/worse, but really it sounded pretty damn good.  Couldn't really tell a huge difference.... 
Rega planar 25/rb600 cartridge recommendations
I have owned a P25 for many years.  The table has almost every aftermarket mod you can put on it.  I've tried numerous cartridges on it.Currently it has an Audio Technica AT-150MLX that works and sounds wonderful. 
Mat for Rega P10
@arturgorniak The Teac mat is VERY thin.  It's not as bad as the mat that came with the Sumiko Analog Survival Kit, but you'll need to keep the residual static electricity at bay or it will come up with the record.I use one on my custom VPI table ... 
Mat for Rega P10
@arturgorniak The Funk Firm mats are available in either 3mm or 5mm thickness.  I also have a couple of the Teac "washi" mats that work very well on the other tables.  I like the FF mat better on the Regas, but the Teac mat is very good. 
Mat for Rega P10
While I don’t have a P10, I do have a P7, a P25 and a P3. All have the Funk Firm Achromat. One of the best mats I have ever tried. I have a few on other tables also.Highly recommended! http://thefunkfirm.co.uk/achromat/ http://thefunkfirm.co.uk/...

BluOS server with USB out?
The 2 Schiit Pre's I had both made a horrible racket with every adjustment of the volume knob. They also both got rave reviews and I never read a word about the clicking relays in all of the reviews I read Until I got them home and went looking ... 
BluOS server with USB out?
To add to my post above, I have an original Bluesound Node2.  I have had at least 50 different DACs in my system over the past 3-4 years.I have used the Node2's coax out exclusively.  I have NEVER had this happen.  IMHO, it's a problem with the Mu... 
BluOS server with USB out?
If you use coaxial input, your specific player cuts off signals and on very fast when selecting different tracks, the DAC follows it to switch muting relay on/off. I will try to take a look at the firmware source code to find a solution to this ...

I still haven't gotten the LP I stated above.  It was shipped on May 20th.  I think the vendor is going to send me another one.
