| Seeking Bookshelf Recommendations The Philharmonic BMR Monitor is really nice but you'd have to pre-order the June/July 2024 batch to get them. Others not mentioned to consider MoFi PointSource 8, KLH Model 5, and Wharfedale Linton. | |
| first & last system If you like the Kef sound then consider the LS60 which are powered and have streaming through their app. You won't need an amp and DAC. | |

| The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you? 1987 Yamaha AX-500 integrated amp | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue Exile has some great songs on it but it also has a lot of mediocre songs too. I've always felt it was over rate. It has twice the number of songs as Sticky Fingers but only an equal number of great songs. | |

| Have you asked yourself this question? Dumped all the analog stuff on to friends and ripped all the CDs to FLAC. Everything is now hard drives and networks. The quality, convenience, flexibility, and portability just make it a win all around. | |
| Looking for an all-in-one just-add-speakers streamer for my son to take to college If you can find a good deal on a Yamaha WXA-50, it is a great little unit if a little dated. The Yamaha MusicCast app is very user friendly. | |
