Whats on your turntable tonight?
@mammothguy54  - Buy the 3LP Deluxe Edition of "Live at Leeds". It is very likely basically the same set you heard on the "Tommy" tour back in the day. It's played end to end, with all of the between-track banter left in. Great set and the sound q...

@wgh64  - Nice find. "Guitar Town" is a great album. Wish I had it on vinyl...... 
Best Server To Run Roon Core
@jmarshak  - If you are only looking for a Roon Core, probably the most simple and cost effective solution is an Intel NUC server. Last week John Darko released a YouTube video of the complete purchase spec and detailed build. Check it out via the...

Receivers compatible with Infinity CS-3008 speakers

Paying with a cashiers check? Need advice!
OK, now that we have the details, the payment method is listed as Escrow.com. The seller needs to agree with the terms of Escrow.com. If he insists on a cashier's check sent directly to him, move along. 
Paying with a cashiers check? Need advice!
Don’t do it. I don’t think any legitimate A-goN user would have 50+ transactions and has not accepted PayPal. Read the feedback. If there is no mention of "he doesn’t accept PayPal" or "he required a cashier’s check", then there is your answer. Bu... 
My ears are ready to retire!
Nami Uniti Atom and a nice pair of bookshelf speakers or small floorstanders. 
Turntable help, please!
I would definitely clean up the Denon and see how it sounds. If you are unsure of the stylus and think it needs replacement, get a replacement stylus. You won't have any/much money into the resurrection, so you can always still buy something new i... 
Suggest one obsure album we all should hear
@hartf36  - The Tubes - "What Do You Want From Live" and BoDeans - "Joe Dirt Car" are indeed great live albums from two completely different kinds of bands, but both at that top of their game at the time of these recordings.I saw the tubes within ... 
Suggest one obsure album we all should hear
@nutty - I love Budgie. I’ll add these 3 Budgie albums to your recommendation of the S/T album:Budgie - "Bandolier", "Squawk" and "If I Were Brittania, I’d Waive the Rules" 
Recommendations for a Ripper/Streamer/Storage device, or a combo of two devices?
Bluesound Vault 2i. Well regarded at it's pricepoint. Add an external DAC if you want to improve sound quality. Only caution - It requires an ethernet connection to your network. 
Parasound newclassic 200 pre or a Halo P 5?
@mrgary321  - You shouldn't hear any background hiss or hum from any modern solid state pre-amp. If you're hearing hiss or hum, be certain it is being caused by the pre-amp before moving to a different model. I replaced the P5 with a Placette Pass... 
Suggest one obsure album we all should hear
@hbarrel  - Brian Auger’s Oblivion Express -  “Closer to it” is a GREAT album. Have loved it since I first heard his version of "Inner City Blues" back in the '70s and bought the album (I still have that original). A classic IMHO.
