I appreciate the responses.  
What are some good sources for buying new LPs and CDs
I have checked out two local record shops. The Sweet Spot was pretty good, picked up a lot of nice used LPs some dodgy old stuff which cleaned up pretty well, and a NICE new pressing of Sgt Pepper's.The other one was very over priced per condition...

It is not the wait. But I have  had 2 instances of Mars saying they delivered albums in a shipment with a missing LP, then they never send the missing album. I ordered Greta Van fleet Black Smoke rising 3 months ago that was supposed to arrive 06/...

I have been pretty happy with Acoustic, but there are many artist he doesn't carry. I will have to check out Experience Vinyl.

I only found 4 reviews online, but they were very positive. I am leaning toward the Stereo 100, I like the Balanced input option. What is the Dark version?BTW nice step up to the Apollos, there is a video at a trade shoe where Mark is bi amping so... 
Bin dug noisy records. Does it diminish your enjoyment?
I washed about 20 LPs with a Spin Clean, got a lot of dirt etc. in the bottom of the cleaner. The old washed records sound very good now, (Tom Jones looks a little scratched up, have not tried that one yet).So I will get them all washed, and find ... 
Bin dug noisy records. Does it diminish your enjoyment?
After I wash everything I will put a new stylus on the Nagaoka MP-110 for about $70. and I did buy a new Jim Croce to replace the old beat up one I got used. I do need to inspect them better at purchase. But still listening to an old album bought ...

I have actually had more scratches and "smears" on new LPs only 2 of the old records had scratches. Another reason I am not overly thrilled with Album buying from Amazon. But yes I need to fire up the Spin Disk, and clean them all.

How do I get my mp3s from my hard drive to my speakers?
So I can get a tablet with good storage, stuff it with MP3s and put a Jriver or equivalent program and right now stream to the Sprout via Bluetooth as I do with Pandora. and then when I upgrade away from the Sprout, just make sure I have a Blue to... 
How do I get my mp3s from my hard drive to my speakers?
So I can load the files on a tablet etc and USB them to the DAC.I want to stay very far away from the Apple universe. And at this point not interested in streaming. I have been running thumb drives to my receiver in my cars for many years. 
Thinking of a Schiit Freya + and Vidars, to Power Martin Logan ESLs
Not in person. I would think that the dispersion of MLs would help with my funky room, and it is a pretty dead space (carpet, bookshelves etc).I like detail, but not really brassy sounding.What about Aegirs as opposed to Vidars ? They are supposed...

Is your heart filled with a love of music, or something else?
When the world went into lockdown last year, I started working 7-12s and I can just now see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have always loved music, my parent’s house was always filled with great music. I have always had a radio, boombox, st...
