Just added full LP playback
Bass on LPs is often compromised to accommodate the physical medium. CDs and other digital media don't have this problem.  
Do I need a Phono Cable?
Stay with what you have! Zip for ground is ok! 
R.I.P. Silver Apples
I have their first LP! I will have to give it another listen! Sad to learn of the passing of Simeon! 
Pondering a change after 30 odd years...
You might enjoy a pair of the latest Ohm Walsh's from John Strohbeen's company in Brooklyn, NY. I have an older pair and they do indeed produce a room-filling 3-D image! And from anywhere in the room! No subs required! Too bad most have never hear... 
If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living?
Jethro Tull playing all of Aqualung at the Schaefer Music Festival/Wollman Rink/Central Park/NYC in August 1970. That was a Monday night show at 8 PM - in fact the first show Tull played that day was at 2 PM! I believe this was before Aqualung was... 
Integrated Amp Battle: Fatman 452 or iFi Retro 50 with Heresy I's?
A Schiit Mani phono stage would take care of your LP playback - and is quite affordable!

Shipping to and from Asia has always been expensive!  
Integrated Amp Battle: Fatman 452 or iFi Retro 50 with Heresy I's?
Get the Fatman! Considering it has been already upgraded and has free shipping from CT that $750 price is a bargain for sure! 
Mark Levinson 523 preamp with McIntosh power amp?
The ML preamp and the McIntosh amp will sound fine together! Go for it! 
Discernment is bad. Self awareness is good.
Wednesday 12:15 PM I was listening to Roxy Music's Country Life (EG Editions CD) on my cheap ($26 used) JVC 310 DVD player! Sounded quite fine! My Marantz CD67 recently died - needs new laser mechanism. And I am just now reading Eric's post! Talk ... 
RIP Eddie Van Halen. What was your first stereo you rocked to VH on?
So sorry to hear this! Eddie was one of the pioneers of hard rock/metal guitar! He will be missed! 
Review : Uniharpa Tube Amp, Neumi bookshelf speakers, D'Addario power cord, Sonice cable
Real nice budget system!  
Vinyl collection, now what?
Get a GOOD turntable and cartridge (Pioneer PLX1000 and Grado) plus a Schiit Mani phono stage. Far more enjoyable than listening to digital copies! 
Vinyl collection, now what?
Digitizing LPs! UGH!
