| What was your most disappointing album purchase? "Primitive Cool" by Mick Jagger. Taste is subjective, but I thought it was terrible. I took it back, and I almost never take anything back. I can't remember if there was a listenable song. | |
| Big source improvement using CD player Oppo 105D. | |
| Best DAC for around $2,500 or less I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the Benchmark products. Check the connections and capabilities first. They are an even better value on the used market, usually under $2K. I have heard good things about Schiit products, but I have not ow... | |
| Rock concerts Add two more to my list above; k.d.Lang, and Al Stewart (twice). Both were great concerts. I really do miss live concerts! | |
| Anyone have experience with a Zesto Andros 1.2? mglik,Why am I seeing this posting? You started a thread on 5/21/2020 with the same subject, and same statements. I don't get it. | |
| McIntosh, your experience? I have owned several pieces of McIntosh equipment. To quote a previous responder, "...it’s good dependable gear from a good dependable company." Is it as good as Burmester or mbl? I don’t know, because I can’t afford to buy those two brands for a ... | |

I guess we should know these things. I suspect that u... | |
| What Percentage Off Would You Expect to Discount For Open Box Amp with Blemish $2,000 would be a reasonable price. Make them an offer! | |
| Thinking about a Zesto Andros 1.2 to replace the John Curl PS in my Audible Illusions M3B The Zesto will set you back about as much as the Audible Illusions. It's your money...spend it any way you want. You seem sold on the Zesto, so go for it! In fairness, 2 days is NOT a reasonable break-in period. | |

| Upcoming Neil Young album, Homegrown Vinyl. A must have? I'm a Neil Young fan and I'll probably buy this album. I dislike the idea of the recycled five songs. Paul Simon's album of previously-released, re-imagined songs was a disappointment. | |
| RMAF 2020 is Cancelled No surprise, but it’s a great event. I have been twice, might have gone again this year. As a 70 year old cancer-survivor, I ALWAYS wear a mask these days (Arizona). I'm no doctor, just don't want to be a victim. | |
| Rock concerts I recall taking my daughter with me to see Bruce Springsteen at the Berkeley Community Theatre. When he came out, I wondered why the band wasn't with him. I remembered that it was Bruce Springsteen, without the E Street Band. It was just Bruce and... | |
| Universal disc player recommendation Oppo 105D, used around $1K. If you really want to use your entire budget, try the Oppo 205 that sold originally sold for $1500 (now around $3K). Obviously, at $2-3K, you have lots of choices. In any case, the Oppo would be a significant step up fr... |
