| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? I’m 66. Got my first audiophile tt when I was 15 in 1970. I learned how to care for my LP’s from day one.

| "Real" streamer vs. Bluetooth adapter--what's the advantage? COY21's first post and Sfar's posts nail it.Not all, but many other posts contain incorrect assumptions.The Node 2i does all the streaming directly from the source via ethernet or wifi.Your phone only serves as a full featured remote.No, wifi and ... | |
| Full circle and thinking about speakers I just re-read your original post.Maggies are great at medium to higher volumes, but at low levels they can be pretty disappointing. Those panels need a little juice to rise and shine. | |
