| What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please. NAD C-658 With MDC HDM-2 card. I went with what I could afford. I can't find any faults with this yet. I run a Panasonic DB-UB90001K and my laptop through the card. With a network connection to my media server I am happy, for now. I would like to ... | |

| Raise the Roof - Plant and Krauss I received the album Friday. Listened to it first thing yesterday. I will admit my bias to anything Plant and state I loved every note of the entire song collection. Plant and Krauss will be playing a mile from my home on June 1st 2022. I saw them... | |
| Solid state amp recommendations for Maggies? I recently upgraded my phono stage for a mc cartridge and chose a Hegel V10. While at the shop to give it a listen and pick it up the owner ran my TT, cartridge, and phono stage through a Hegel H20 solid state amp. I also have been looking at some... | |
| Still happily using vintage gear? Currently I am using Sony TA-N80ES amp, TA-E77ESD preamp, and CDP-707ESD cd player connected to Spendor S100s. This system is outstanding. Right next to it I have all McIntosh equipment connected to Focal Kanta No. 2s. IMHO, the MAC system is no... | |
| Solid state amp to go with tube preamp; used ok; budget: $3k max Rest assured, this is what you want: Sony TA-N80ES Power Amplifier Made in Japan 200W x 2 ES | eBay Offer $800. If you can get it at that price it is a steal. The same amp with the "cool meters" is going for $3000 across the web. Save $2200 and ... | |
| How long do good speakers last? It's all relative, right? Anywho...I have a set of Mirage M760s I bought in the late 80s. I still use them today. I recently acquired a set of Spendor S100s. Comparing on the same system the Spendors offer a different space of sound but I cannot y... | |

| Jazz for aficionados At the risk of being redundant (can't search the whole thread today):Love jazz of all kinds but the fusion of the 70s influenced me over all else. Here are a few frequently showing up on my TT. Al Di Meola Race With The Devil On a Spanish Highway... | |
| Putting an end to the audio cable debate! Part 1 I have read a lot about this and no matter what side tells the story I still cannot wrap my head around a $15,000 patch cord. A simple RCA connection between the preamp and amp will cost $30,000? I want to meet the person who can hear an audible d... | |
| Vinyl Buyers: The Premium Price Vinyl v. Cheap Vinyl Ratio The Record Archives in Rochester NY has vinyl as far as the eye can see. I get lost in there for hours each time I go. I search for old albums not pressed from digital sources, prior to 1982 I believe. There is a lot of pure analog stuff available... |
