Rush - "Second Nature" Thanks to the prod from Slaw 
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
@geoffkait said:  I just sprung for an Audioquest Carbon HDMI Cable that was 5 times more than the almost new LG Blu Ray player I also picked up this week. Was that wrong? It's not wrong, it's just how you roll. Revel in it....... 
What’s in your system today that you also had 10 years ago?
Only a couple of interconnect cables and my audio rack have survived for more than 10 years. 
After a (weeks) worth of listening...
@ghosthouse and @slaw - I don't have Mutations, but I will check it out. I'm slowly building a complete catalog of all of Beck's standard studio records.GH, I'm aware of Moby, and I hear his work occasionally on Radio Paradise. However, I've have ... 
Whats playing on your system today?
OK Guys, for you fans of Alt-Country/Americana I’m going to recommend a recording I’ve recommended a few times in the past. I believe this recorded was recommended here on AudiogoN several years ago, but I don’t remember who originally recommended... 
Issues with AudiogoN forum website, anyone?
I sent an e-mail to AudiogoN Support late last night. Got a reply from Tammy this morning saying they were aware of the issue and were working on it. She later asked me try again and let her know how it was going. Since that time, early this morni...

Beck - "Morning Phase" Holy Cow! I don't know what I was doing in 2014 when this was released, but somehow, I missed it. Got a copy on vinyl for my birthday on New Year's Eve, but didn't get a chance to listen to it until this week. Well, since th...

Best Budget Phono Cartridge?
As @mattmiller  and @mesch recommended, I used an Ortofon 2M Red which was included in my Pro-Ject Carbon Debut Esprit SB bundle. After a year I "upgraded" the cartridge by replacing the 2M Red stylus with a 2M Blue stylus. There was a noticeable ...

Issues with AudiogoN forum website, anyone?
@prof - Yep, I've started getting the error regularly again.AudiogoN Staff - It's time to reboot the server again........ Or whatever you did last time to get things working normally without getting the "stuff happens" error all the time..... 
Rega Saturn R digital download stick to the DAC.
@tattooedtrackman - I can't comment if streaming can/does sound better than CD. I don't use any hi-res, or even CD quality resolution streaming services, so I don't have a valid comparison. I can tell you that streaming lower resolution sources, s... 
Rega Saturn R digital download stick to the DAC.
@tattooedtrackman - OK, now I understand what you are talking about. If you need to download and install a new driver on your computer, that really has nothing to do with the Rega CD player, per se. The driver downloads and installs on your comput... 
Rega Saturn R digital download stick to the DAC.
I own a Rega Saturn-R. IMHO it is a very good sounding CD player and the multi-input DAC works very well for everything I'v connected to it. That said.......I have no idea what you are talking about regarding downloading a digital stick. I've conn...
