Innuos Zen MK3 vs Aurender N100
I had a N100H in 2016 and quickly unloaded it. I found their Conductor software app to be impossible. I didn’t like having to hold my breath every time I turned it on. Most times it lost my music library and I had to start over. Because I bought i...

Vladimir Lamm RIP
I read in another forum that Bascom King has also passed away.  
Phone pre advice - Would I benefit from this upgrade?

Why Do You Post?
If you think this place is bad, you haven't been on any of the audiophile FB groups.  Too many armchair experts over there.  The only one I miss is "chackster", he gave me a wealth of turntable knowledge  
Harmon Kardon Citation 12 Amp with Bellari Passive Pre-Amp ?
No, no problem at all.   
Sonic frontiers

Why 8 gauge?  Is that the code in your state?
