Whats the deal?
I believe you can have beautiful sound and aesthetically pleasing equipment.  My Sonos Faber speakers are works of art and fit it well with my surrounding living area - plus they sound superb. 
AudioQuest Niagara 1000
I have the Niagara 1200 on order.  Paid for it in November, and now I hear the delivery is delayed till April. Not sure what the hold-up is. 
I give up on new vinyl
Can someone suggest a good online source to help us Vinyl fans sort between weak pressings, and the true quality pressings from good analog source material?  I would appreciate that.  Thanks in advance. 
Thinking to upgrade speakers
I love my Serafino’s!  Wonderful sound.  If I had the money and the room to warrant it I would be happy with the Amati.  But you need to the power for the Amati pair. I power my Serafino with Tubes at 150W and I couldn’t be happier.  They can fill...

James Taylor, Really??? 
CD no more produced?
I get all my CDs from DeepDiscount.com, unless I buy them directly from artists at shows, looking for a specific box set, or they arrive from Dead.net. 
Best LPs to Test Turntables
Thanks everyone for the great suggestions.  They are really helpful.  I am having to get over a hurdle. Some turntables that I "listen" to I hear the motor.  I listen without music playing, just for the turntable itself.  I listened to the McIntos... 
Best LPs to Test Turntables
Thanks Roberjerman. Rock n' Roll Animal is a good one.  Many of the suggestions coming forward I do not have on vinyl. So need to connect with what I own.  Do you think that it matters when the LP was originally recorded analog, or digital.  For e...

Thank You Frogman.  The Koln Concerts is always one of my Go To recordings. Second is a box set of Miles' Prestige years with Coltrane

Thanks Ozzy - let me/us know what you think. 
I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience !
@hemoncdoc. Thanks for your response to my post.  I’ll need to go in a relisten to the said equipment.  I’m open to new synergy.  But at this point, I invested heavy dollars in what I have and don’t have much room for switching up at this price ra... 
mcintosh MT10 turntable good or not.
Great Thread Everyone,  Several mentioned other Turntables at a similar price point.  Can you list them out for me.  Maybe 3-5 turntables that you feel match the MT10?  I would like to do a little research.  I’m not happy with the $500 Project tha... 
Budget Music Streamer
Not sure what "budget" is for you, but a $900 Project  Sound Box S2 Ultra was highly recommended to me.  Supposed to have excellent sound for the money. 
I listened to the Gryphon Diablo today , what an experience !
I heard the same system with the Diablo 300 and the SF Serafinos.  I'm wowed by the sound of the Serafinos, so much so that I "invested" in a pair.  I sat there for a good period of time listening to several tracks that I listened to at home the n... 
Do McIntosh dealers give discount on new models?
All McIntosh products went up on 12/01/18.  5% I think was the increase thanks to new tariffs on key ingredients.
