| Whats on your turntable tonight? Melanie – Gather Me (Buddah 1971)One of her best. Very spiritual (not religious) and country. | |

| Help connecting a source directly to an amp Theoretically, you need a stereo jack to XLR like this.https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-3-5mm-Inch-Breakout/dp/B07PJXKKX6/ref=asc_df_B07PJXKKX6/?tag=hy...However, if your iPhone has no 2.5mm jack and only a Lightning jack, you'll need some so... | |
| Where are the young audiophiles? Imagine what we could buy if we weren't forced to pay tax on our home even when retired? $200 per week. My first system cost 2 weeks of that. Technics table, Rotel amp, KEF spreakers. | |
| Recommendations for a new Basement home theater. I stream 4k movies on Wi-Fi to a 64" TV from a router 2 floors up with no issues. However, if I was doing what you are doing, I’d use a separate CAT-8 feed to a separate router in the basement. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? This is amazing. Haven't heard from her in years.Sinead O'Connor Live at AB - Ancienne Belgique - YouTube | |

| What audio aspect are you knowledgeable in? Jack of all trades. Master of none. | |
| Lessons of youth Well done! My first turntable was a cheap Technics. The music is the most important thing. | |
| Custom plinth I'm with mijostyn on this. Veneer is not worth the effort. My ply has a 1/3" slab of solid walnut on top and the sides are 1/2" solid maple. | |
| Why do we want to distortions? All amps produce distortion. Tube amps tend to produce less unpleaseant-sounding higher-order odd harmonics than solid state and potentially more even lower-order harmonics which are pleasing to the ear. | |
| Samsung flat screen TV’s We had a 42" Samsung that lasted 13 years and was still fine when we gave it away. Our Samsung refrigerator only lasted 18 months. Compressor failed with class action fault. POS. My new 65" Samsung is fine so far. Two other TVs are LG. | |
| Best material for an isolation platform? The CLD sounds like it could be very good. I can endorse slate as I use it on a plinth. Aluminum with Panzerholz is also top tier. | |
