The past meets the future
As to the issue artist treated unfairly in distribution of money with streaming. I agree there are issues here, but this is not inherent to streaming platform, its simply an unfair business model at present.   And since when have we not had unfa... 
Preamp help please!
I've had some very disappointing experiences with recently purchased Psvane WE101d, two failures, one after around 25 hours and other DOA. I no longer know of US or Canadian source for Psvane, both mine purchased from China, don't trust Chinese so... 
I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.
I've promised myself this is the last time I enter o vs s. I can only hope it holds. I only know I've said everything I've have to say.

All good comments above. especially williewonka's recitation of Ghdprentice's statement of a good losing it's performance edge. In looking back on my own situation over the last few years, every single bit of attention and upgrades have been  tota...

Based on my observations of this controversy over many years I will attempt to elucidate the divide. I cannot speak for all s, but at least a portion of us believe we can best achieve our goals for sound reproduction with audio systems by listeni...

With atx board servers, many ports can be upgraded very nicely, no separate streamer needed if you get this right.  The lps gets complicated, however. As mentioned previously, hoping to hear atx build soon.

Yes, utility is a good thing.

At least some s also know why I and others like what they like. We're very aware of every issue o brings up, the difference between s and o is what we value. In the end whatever gets you off is fine with me.

The difference is O knows what's best for me, S suggests.  
Tubes getting hard to come by?
@petg60 I agree that nos tubes have unique qualities that can't be replicated, that's why I mentioned innovation. And I do in fact observe in reviews, have heard and purchased contemporary tubes that match or exceed some nos. Some of the nos tubes...

Yes, there continues to be innovation in vinyl, but not to the same extent and speed of digital. Vinyl has some real physical limitations, both in recording and playback arenas, digital much less. What does this mean for future?   I can only say...

@atmasphere  If you read that post again, that was not a posit, rather a question? I can't make that posit without having heard the components I speak of. You posit they'll all sound the same,  apparently, you trust the measurements over human sen... 
I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.
I do understand that a set of components, each with preferred set of measurements in allignment to accuracy would result in a whole that deviates less from this objective than those that deviate/color the whole. Following this, the system conformi...

For extremely efficient speakers and SS, First Watt would be my first choice. Many choices of color, trusted designer, minimal circuitry, which is important for super efficient speakers, higher power ss has far too much wasted excess for these spe...
