Complete Proprietary Systems
Thanks guys. Good to know. For the record, I'm not looking for anything, I was just curious.I'm assuming I was correct in regard to why you don't see many people, here at Audiogon anyway, with full proprietary systems?The Linn systems are intriguing.

Old Amps that can still Kick Butt
@atmasphere said: "Most of the amps listed here will sound fine at low volume. But if you want to blast they’ll get painful. The mark of a good system is one that sounds smooth and detailed (not brightness masquerading as detail) even at high v... 
Best bang for buck integrated amp for $500
I have the NAD 316 BEE. Got it used under $200. I got it  for down at my cabin for casual listening. An excellent unit. Simple. Plain. Well reviewed. Great sound stage even with a pair of equally modest Polk Audio towers. Use it all the time for c... 
Old Amps that can still Kick Butt
Maybe not 'vintage' but I still like the way my Madrigal Proceed HPA2 drives my similar era Aerial Acoustic 7B towers. They need a lot of horsepower and the Proceed seems to deliver.But my breadth of experience is....narrow. Regardless, I feel no ... 
Do you have a "Music" Friend?

What are you streaming tonight?
Khruangbin - Mordechai, good stuff. Style/class of its own. But I like their middle album, Con Todo El Mundo, better.Also listened to The Black Keys Delta Kream recently. That stuff is right up my alley since I’m already a Junior Kimbrough and RL ... 
The Black Keys - Delta Kream
Listening to the album now. I knew it had Junior Kimbrough covers but there are also R.L. Burnside covers. Awesome! I have not researched titles I don’t recognize and don’t know if some of these songs are originals.I don’t really care. The Black K... 
Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz.
@stuartk and @franklinb66 Thanks. I will look into those as well.

A thought about this thread: I check here often to look for new music to listen to. I like Qobuz but it sucks when it comes to recommending stuff based on your previous listening. As far as I can tell it does not have that feature at all and I mig... 
What are you streaming tonight?
@ovinwar, I have found some of U2's later recordings to be that way, in particularly Achtung Baby. Sounds fine in the cars or MP3 w/ ear buds. Can hardly listen to it on my main system.Right now, listening to Art Blakey - Moanin' 
Classe' Sigma SSP. Is it outdated?
It did finally sell. I don't remember how much I got for it. The money went to the estate.
