Thanks to phcollie, I'm enjoying:Emily Barker - "A Dark Murmuration of Words" and checking out her other albums as well on Spotify. 
Springs under turntable
My nobsound spring isolation feet arrived Sunday, late afternoon. I got them, hoping to alleviate some subwoofer influence on my turntable. I'd noticed some subtle muddyness in louder bass passages with vinyl that I did not detect when streaming t... 
Springs under turntable
Thanks for starting a timely discussion. I put the nobsound springs in my shopping cart last weekend because they looked interesting. I was going to look for reviews, opinions online before pulling the trigger. If there are any left, I'll have to ... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Probably old hat for many of you, but I  listened to "The rockin 1000" on YouTube tonight. Surprisingly good recordings of 1000 musicians playing Rock in an arena. Sounds like a terrible idea, I know, but they pull it off well and it's fun and ins... 
"Bridge Over Trouble Water" sounds artificial
I have "Graceland" and "Still Crazy after all these years" on vinyl and I enjoy them a great deal.Last Winter, after listening to them, I got nostalgic, thinking I’d like some of the older songs that I grew up with. On eBay, I found a NM copy of S... 
Ok now I am frustrated with streaming
Can we assume your Node 2i is plugged directly into the router with a good cat7 cable? Or, if you are going through a switch,  is it a good quality gigabyte switch and cat7 cables all the way?I would play analog sources for a while to see if the p... 
MP150 or MP200
Peter Lederman, of SoundSmith has stated in his videos, that the suspensions in cartridges have limited lives, whether they are in use, or brand new..sitting in a box for years...decades.. in a warehouse. The suspension gets stiffer over time, deg... 
MP150 or MP200
The MP-150 and the MP-200 share cartridge types. Not saying it’s the way to go unless you are trying to keep spending increments low, but I bought the 150 for about $347 and a year or so later, picked up the JN-P200 (MP-200 replacement stylus) for...

Newb Tube question
Thanks to all for a compendium of great advice and resources.I'm very happy with the way my tube-phono stage and upgraded stylus sounds..to the extent that I'm going through my vinyl collection, enjoying the adventure of hearing new, better detail... 
Anyone remember the lateral tracking Bang and Olufsen record player from the 80’s??
I bought a B&O 2402 tt (not tangential) around 1980 to go with my Nakamichi 530 receiver and Magneplaner SMG's. It was a good tt, but the hinges were a common, regular fail-point and the bronze bushings in the tonearm lifter would bind up, cau...
