Schiit Lokius anyone?
I sent my Loki back 5 months ago. I didn’t like the 20hz frequency control as I wanted something in the 60hz range. Bought the Bellari instead which had 60 hz low frequency.   
As you have moved on, are there any items you remember fondly...or most fondly?
My Rectilinear 7 speakers from 1976.  I absolutely loved the speakers.  Then, the Kenwood Rep who I was very friendly with (used to buy my 420 from him) talked me into buying a custom made set of speakers his friend designed.  I went to the guys h... 
Transport needed !
@chayro i 1000% agree with you. And then “oldhvymec” recommends adding a Furutech IEC and other nonsense to a used Sony that is most likely on its last legs to a newbie who just wants to buy a transport to use the built in DAC on his Hint6.  What ... 
Power
@audiotroy when I see a dealer trash a manufacturers product (Furman), my brain says to stay away from that dealer.  Do you have an axe to grind with Furman? 
What's your dream speaker?
MBL Extreme. Of course I would also need a bigger home and a really big room to house them in and I would want all MBL top tier electronics to match.  
Smaller Audio/Video stores- Free delivery service
If you have an active license and a credit card, you could rent a car and drive to dealer to pick up.  I would never expect a dealer who is an hours ride from me to give free delivery or any delivery at all.   
What tubes are in you Rogue RP-5?
@audphile1 In the 20 months that I owned one, I really loved it.  Only reason I changed it is because I went all Mac. 
Sota or Technics
@tyray,I got my info from the dealer regarding the arm.  
What tubes are in you Rogue RP-5?
Audphile1you are correct, it is 12AU7. I got mixed up as my McIntosh C2500 uses the 12AX7. I did buy the NOS Mullard which I did buy in 2016 from Upscale. However, they were CV4003 NOS Platinum edition from Upscale. They were produced in India so ... 
What tubes are in you Rogue RP-5?
I put NOS Mullard , 12ax7 tubes in my RP5, purchased from Upscale.  They were matched and were Upscales “Platinum” tube.  They were cryoed as well.  
ANDY (needle clinic)
I have dealt with Andy at the Needle Clinic and he has been great and a true professional.  When I sent my last cartridge in for repair, I received it back exactly 7 days after I sent it to him.  It took 3 days to get there and 3 days back, so he ... 
EL84 Tubes for Glow Audio Amplifier
You guys are getting way too political as to where to get your equipment. Doubtful Russia, China or any other countries you people don’t like cares if you buy equipment made in their country or not. You are only punishing yourself. 
New edition of Harley's guide on the way
Of course Harley has come out with a new edition, he needs the money.  Overature Audio in MD, gave me the newest edition when I bought a preamp from them.   The salesman told me no one was buying them, so they were giving them away with each sale.  
Technics
@hodu,If you are in western Mass, Queensbury NY is less than an hour from the NY/Ma line. 
Technics
@hodu I love the SL1200G and use it frequently.  Right now I am using a ZU modified Denon DL103 which is okay, but I will be ordering a Dynavector DV20X2L cartridge in a month or so.  I am using the moving coil input on my McIntosh C2500 tube prea...
