| Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this ! I was a collector of Dick's Picks, Road Trips and Dave's Picks. I lost enthusiasm for the same reasons the OP and StuartK stated. I recently brought a boxful of CDs to a reseller, and he gave me full price on my DP, RT and DavP sets. Clearly, the... | |
| Rega P6/ or Clearaudio Concept, both with same cartridge? @spiritof76 I got the CA Concept with the upgraded arm. From the get go, the Concept was a more resolving turntable in my audio system. If you want upfront toe-tapping energy, get the P6. FWIW, It WAS great when set-up. My cats thought the same... | |
| Schiit Eitr/Intona Isolator and Aurender N200 @oddiofyl - After looking through Aurender threads on other audio websites, I've come to the same conclusion.

| BEST little know Jazz Album that you ever heard? WOW!! This thread took off :-) Thanks to all who are posting. I’ve got some free time coming up and am going to listen as many of your recommendations, as possible. One of my favorite "little knowns" is the CD, On The Town, Pete Malinverni Plays... | |
| Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing FYI-The search is over and the decision is made. Likely not a surprise, I'm going with the ARC REF CD 6SE, that's on loan (Hope you are okay with that, thyneame :-)). Ultimately, the synergy with my other ARC components, the ability to get a repla... | |
