| New McIntosh MTI100 integrated turntable. What do you all think? It's definitely not for me but I'm curious how much for this retail? | |
| Why do I need Roon? I am skeptical about the value these days of purchasing "lifetime" packages on anything in the digital music platform arena. With the rapid development of platforms and such, even 5 years can make generational improvements and changes in how servi... | |
| Hey RICH Audiophiles @dobnbav A good perspective that needed to be said. Thanks. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Listening to Nat Adderly's album "Work Song" and not caring about the average sonics at all this evening. The compositions and musicianship are 90% of what matters anyway. Such great performances on this 1960 Riverside album by Nat, Bobby Timmon... | |
| Using a lap top cd drive instead of highend cd player I was just trying to figure out whether your DAC is slaved to the PC. If so you could have significant jitter in your setup. A good quality transport would be feeding the DAC with excellent timing. | |
| Acrylic platter, is it worth it? It depends on what you're expecting and what the rest of the system down the line looks like. At $130 it's 1/3 of the price of the TT. All things equal and assuming the rest of your equipment is at similar price points/performance levels I'd thi... | |

| Is there an actual difference between AB and A/AB ? I guess that's the nice thing about my Cary 120 (and other Carys) - it's a Class AB, push-pull amplifier, but operates in Triode (Class A) or Ultralinear (Class AB) mode with a switch. No ambiguity or point of departure that isn't deliberate. | |

| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... @d2girls Those Coherent speakers are intriguing. I see there is a US dealer in Nashville, TN. May be worth a visit next time I'm there. | |
| What's the purpose of the Auralic Aries G2 if the Auralic Vega G2 has built in streaming? Also according to Auralic, the Vega streaming functionality is limited and more basic compared to the Aries. I'm not sure of the specific differences though and I am curious. | |
| Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers? That Pitchfork review is priceless and spot on! In my opinion this is some of the worst music to come out in a genre I grew up loving so much! | |
| Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers? @tooblue "borrow" was written in sarcasm font ;-) | |
| Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers? I grew up loving Zep myself but isn't anyone else amused at the irony of this post considering how heavily LZ "borrowed" from others, especially on their earlier albums????https://www.loudersound.com/features/the-led-zeppelin-songs-that-led-zeppel... |
