| Older Electronics - When to cut bait? Your thoughts? If you decide to go new with the PL, you will have a different level of wow.As a PL user nearing 10years, I'm not the least bit concerned about it aging. When it does need a tune up 20-30 years from now, it will be good as new.My 53 year old Mac... | |

| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium bluesy41-Your insights are similar to many. I’m nearing a 10 year run with PL stuff. The last 4 are with the HP. After the addition of the second HP, get your dream speakers and call it a day.You can now obsess in other areas. That’s the nice thin... | |

Some of them aren't "Jazz" players.Traditional Jazz recordings IMO are pre 70's. Your collection wanders in that "smooth jazz" territory which is argued to death, if it's even Jazz.I'm ... | |

Before blaming the record, take that exact album an play it on a nicer table and you may not hear sibilance.I've done this, an was sadly reminded my mid fi setup simply isn't up to the task with some albums.VPI Clas... | |
