| Whats on your turntable tonight? @j_husker Thanks for Newly acquired Mingus-The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady Acoustic Sounds Series 2021. This mix is off-the-charts good. So much more depth and clarity than the 1973 Reissue that I’ve heard many times. Unbelievable really. ... | |
| Why has Virtual Systems Activity disappeared from the forum section? I made a suggestion months ago that didn't a reply, perhaps you all have a viewpoint... add links to Virtual Systems right below posters usernames and avatars in each post. IMHO, knowing whether or not posters have their system up is often useful ... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Basie Kansas City 3 (w/ L.Bellson & R.Brown) - For The Second Time | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I'm late to the party here, but wanted to add that a friend brought over a collection of ~20 vintage cartridges that we swapped onto my SP10MkII that I had at the time. The Grace F9 was the one I wanted of his. I ran a couple of interesting ones t... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @mammothguy54 Good luck at Daedelus. Don't let him sell anything called Apollo 13! Re-spinning recent purchases: Joan Armatrading - S/T Art Blakey - Moanin' Steve Ray Vaughn - In Step (Still WOW!) | |
| A decent integrated amp under 2K ... Have any of you folks suggesting ss amps > 50 watts listened to them extensively with 100db+ speakers and been blown away with the resulting sound quality? If so, I think many of us would like to know what combos they were. IMHE, lower power... | |
| Next best exponential DAC quality level? @martinman I also suspect that Amazon HD in general isn't up to par with Qobuz, but I'd suggest playing music on Amazon via a Qobuz trial that there's clarity on what the provenance of the recording is. Rumors abound of services upsampling redbook... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bslon The Busboys! I lost my copy but remember it being a fun LP, haven't heard that band mentioned in 20 years. @tomic601 Glad chatting with you too! Goodies await. John Coltrane - A Love Supreme (Acoustic Sounds Series) Got to mention a hig... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Jack White - Lazaretto (Ultra) Weirdest gimmicky pressing ever. Flat profile without lead in groove-fine. Hologram on side 1 near center- cool but hokey. Side 1 plays backwards, from center to edge-WHAT! Horrid noise at the end of the side. Screwi... | |
| A decent integrated amp under 2K ... @jimcrane How does it sound with 100db speakers? My guess is that your 85db Harbeth's are far more ideal match for that amp. Cheers, Spencer | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Wilco - A.M. (deluxe 2LP, BG mastered) | |
| looking to upgrade - identify the weakest link? If a larger speaker isn't a good fit for you, I agree that upgrading your source makes most sense. While I am an analog lover, if you don't have any records, I'd argue that it's a major investment in both hardware and software to get worthwhile s... | |
| A decent integrated amp under 2K ... With 100db speakers, you could go for a pretty low powered tube that wouldn't give off much heat. Are you concerned with too much heat in the room overall(not a worry) or someone touching it and burning themselves? Plenty of designs have cages tha... |
