| Europe vs the USA @laoman It is not much fun the US either. USA is one of the greatest nations on planet earth. Even with all it's warts it's still big fun here. No matter who is president, it's still a good place. For now.... | |
| Europe vs the USA Poland has some very good hi-fi these days. Hattor Audio and Qualio come to mind. | |
| Tip for "randomizing" a playlist. For even better ambience, why not spin vinyl instead of streaming. Will be more labor intensive, but way cooler. | |
| Tip for "randomizing" a playlist. @gkelly I think you're getting all worked up over nothing. Sounds like he was agreeing with you. | |
| Back in the vinyl saddle again. Thanks for putting Rocks in my head, lol…. Spinning it right now. | |
| Back in the vinyl saddle again. For 1500.00 USD I’d keep the VPI. You aren’t likely to beat it for that $$. | |
| Any experiences good or bad using Uship? I used them to ship some rather large and heavy speakers from Va to the northeast. As long as you aren’t in a hurry for it to happen, I think it’s the best way to ship big items. | |

| Shipping costs- WTF Pirateship is da bomb. Highly recommended. I saved several hundred dollars in shipping last year using them. | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... Another happy Denafrips owner here. I have the lowly Pontus II, but it sounds damn good to me. | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps I’ve got 5k in my DNA 0.5 and I can say it was money well spent. I’m not sure what SS amp you could find in that price range that could beat it. Mine has the magnetic circuit breaker type switch @soix mentioned, but most of the time it’s left on. | |
| Audio companies in the mirror @bill_k Yeah, I knew that. But I have a fond memory of their original turntables. A friend of mine was a big fan of their analog stuff and it always sounded excellent in his system. He is no longer with us, so it’s a happy memory. |
