Gold Note PH-1000 Best Phono Preamp?
I had the gold note pH 10 for a while and was underwhelmed. It had a wonderful sound but it wasn't a sound that I really connected with. It just didn't have the presence of an lfd or a Hagerman in terms of similar price points. Still, having not h... 
Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums
Because Randy Meisner was the unsung hero of the band. His voice and bass were essential to their success. A beautiful song.

@mahler123 @tony1954 @theo Good advice and suggestions from all. I was just about to pull the trigger last night on a wonderful used deal on a Cambridge CXN on the other site when I get this reply form Oppo:  "We've had similar reports regarding ... 
My Oppo 105 finally bricked. Streamer suggestions?
@soix Thank you. yes, I contacted them (tho it's a Sunday so they won't reply until the work week) and am hopeful for a reply. They do say on their site that they would continue to support their products, so mad kudos to them.  @jl35 I've been co...
