R.I.P Glen Campbell
Other sides of Glen Campbell ...Besides being an A list guitarist, he also could not read music.  He played by ear.  Not unique, but not usual.  A real gem of a video, his version stacks well alongside the original ...https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Emotiva ERC-3 or Music Hall C-DAC15.3 / connections?
The Emotiva ERC-3 will perform just fine with RCA cables.  At its price, not too many other CD players only (new), I would recommend.  Still use a ERC-2 in one of my systems.  Great build, good DAC and sound.Rich 
What is your speaker ownership history since 1995?
A time for reflection.  I have purchased all my speakers new.  I separated from my first wife in 1990, which is where I start the counting of my hard-core membership in Audio HiFi.  For brevity sakes, I will only include 2 of my 3 systems, though ... 
How many LP's

Choosing tube power amp
Original Prima Luna Prologue Owner (PL2 integrated and PL5 power amps) for the last 13 years with zero problems.  Plenty of tube rolling options.  I flirt with upgrading up the PL line, but these amps just keep plugging along, so no reason why.Ric... 
Good match for Rega Brio-R
I have the Rega Brio R in my second system, which is also the system that gets played the most.I went a different path with single driver speakers, the Omega Super 7 Monitor MK2.  I find the sound from single driver speakers very seductive.  Vocal...
