I'll try for clarity in this response so EVERYONE can comprehend it.I went with the Samsung Galaxy S9+ and so far quite like it. Now, considering my last phone was the iPhone 4s, that shouldn't be too much of a stretch. But the sound is wide and d...

Your Forever Pieces? What and Why?
I have a VPI HW-19 MK4 tt that I bought back in 2015. I'm going to replace the Sumiko arm eventually, but I won't ever get rid of that turntable. It's awesome.
