Schitt Audio Still in business???
Guys, get their Kindle book Schiit Happened off Amazon for $4, both "founding fathers" are pretty articulate, Jason Stoddard even sells sci-fi stories. Fun read, plus most (i wanted to say All) of the Q raised here already answered. Or save $4 and...

Yes, its them! My CDS3 had its laser mech excanged three(!) times by AVOptions, but my older "olive series" CDX works non-stop for 17 years now without any glitches. I am Very happy with Naim service... My experience with Linn was not this pleasur...

First things first: audition Naim budget CD player if u can: CD5 or used CD3, these should go for under a thou. My CDS3 or my older CDX cannot beat my Keel-ed Sondek/Aro but they do sound "alive" playing CDs...ripping my collection of a few thousa... 
MQA - One Filter to Rule them All?
Stereophile, in my opinion, gives pretty negative spin on MQA: they just  ask polite Q and let the guy do the talking. The answers smell bull to high heavens! Thanks for the tip, I will try to read TAS take on this, i cancelled TAS subscription a ...

I concur... I have all early Vangelis albums and 1492 is my favorite also! By the emotional impact it is similar to Jean Michel Jarre "Redez-Vous" which was Jarre's requiem for a friend he lost when Challenger crashed

Boxer12, we should request that amp with tubes the size of a bottle to put together a distillery from fermented coconut milk ;-) Cannot find that amp though, i think i saw its photo in Hi-Fi+ once 
recommendation on new brush
I wish I bought NittyGritty. When I flip record on VPI I know that just-cleaned side picks up some dirt from the platter. No comments from me about Last, I used it on a few records, then got lazy. Wish someone would come up with digital equivalent... 
recommendation on new brush
I used AQ carbon fiber brush (looks the same as Audio-Technica, sleevecity, etc), but in my hands carbon fiber brushing vinyl produces sooo much static that even double-sided Scotch cannot keep felt mat on the platter when I flip the record. I pre...

I play Uriah Heep "Demons and Wizards" much more often than Led Zeppelin, Yes, or even the Stones. Tie with Deep Purple: given a choice of July Morning or Smoke on the Water I would probably die like Buridan's ass even before getting to the Islan...

Equipment Rack
Wow, this is even more fun than interconnects/power cords discussions! As I said before re. Valhalla for Naim Audio boxes, no one of us, mere consumers will ever be able to check all our options! Demo-ing in brick-and-mortar shops is our only choi...

David12, Thank you for sharing! This game had been played zillion times but the initial intent you described here had been, unfortunately, "lost in translation"! The game, in my humble opinion, is about learning something about the person (this po...
