What am I missing?
Yep, still have option to download if you feel the need to own. Another consideration for me has been storage. I have well over 3.5k cd's and same with vinyl, I have this physical media stored all over my house, total pain, don't need or want any ... 
Phono Cartridge Purchase from Asia?
Don't have any input on this seller, but I recently purchased AT cartridge from Japanese seller at substantial discount, very much worth it. Protect yourself via above post.  
Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System
@jerryg123 At some point need to try the Sonore products, your streaming setup should provide the necessary resolution/transparency to hear improvements vs generic. I did use generic for couple years with no complaints,  it is effective and certai... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@westborn Congrats on purchase. Don't know if you believe you're burning in using in this manner, but you need to connect and send signal through via whatever input and outputs you're using for burn in.  
Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System
Optimizing FMC isn't as simple as one may believe. There is generic route via switching power supplies, generic with one or two lps. Then there is the Sonore route via upgrading FMC (two OpticalModule) only or FMC and optical streamer, these can b... 
Hi-end audio is a big zero
I have no problem with those whose wealth is in fact hard earned, but so much of the wealth in this world attained through luck of having been born into it. Unequal opportunity is the fundamental issue.   When I add up the cost of my system, and... 
Digital is far better than vinyl

Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll
I ran class A amp for a number of years, great in winter, terrible in summer. In summer central air kicked in increasing ambient noise floor to a distracting level, 845SET I presently own has same issues. More recently thought I'd give much lower ... 
Hi-end audio is a big zero
I suppose I was spoiled in that I had local dealers that were willing to give much time to a young fella trying to learn and without the money to purchase much of the equipment I was listening to. I also had local dealer who sold new and took used... 
Hi-end audio is a big zero
I gave up on B&M years ago when I realized I was just wasting both our times. I wanted at home demos of a variety of equipment, listening to just the one brand they carried on my list just didn't cut it. At this point I realized I was going to... 
RIP Christine McVie
Seems like only yesterday she was young, I was young and listening to new releases for first time.  
Flat Screen Television behind speakers
I helped out an individual with same problem by placing diffusors in front of tv. In that case we could stack RPG Skylines.  
Do Streamer only devices really impact sound quality?
I agree, don't have to spend a fortune on streaming equipment to hear differences. I've been streaming for many years, started with most basic, laptop to dac with Foobar, been incremental improvements all along the way.  
Uptone EtherRegen
@hilde45 I've been in this game long enough to understand and believe the logic of specifications and theroreticals, especially in regard to streaming. And this is gone into in much greater depth over at audiophilestyle.com forum. The arguments go... 
Vacuum Tube Break-in
@jjss49 So true in regard to listener acclimation period with any new component/variable being inserted into system. This especially true when I'm already contented with system sound quality.  My comfort zone is upended when something new placed i...
