Audiolab 6000N going Gapless - FINALLY
Couldn't agree more. If I knew how important GAPLESS is prior to purchasing the Audiolab 6000N streamer (my first streamer) I would not have bought it. I do have to give it top marks for sound quality though. If you ignore the lack of gapless and...

What’s your latest high-end audio purchase?
Dual SVS SB1000 pro subs. Replaced a single Velodyne CT-100.  
Direct Drive
Nice vintage DD deck to consider also is the Sony ps-x50 (60 and 70 also, with rising price of course). It has the legendary PUA-7 tonearm. I own one and love it.

Owning Up To It
