| Best amp for Salon 2 FWIW, I own Studio 2's. I am extremely pleased driving the speakers with a Pass Labs X250.8 amplifier. It's been quite the pairing here for the last 7 plus years. | |

| Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system? For me this one is easy- I have been into hifi and music since the 1970's. between LPs, which I never gave up on, CD and cassettes, I have thousands of titles on hand.

| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- @johnread57 where have I gone? Nowhere; just seeing how this has taken on a life of its own | |
| Where did you buy your first audio gear? Tech Hifi- Manhattan store- in the 40's I think. 1970's- I think either 76 or 77 | |
| MoFi controversy FWIW, AP's 2 disc 45 RPM Folk Singer is clearly superior, in my system, to the One Step Folk Singer. Live and learn- | |
| After the thrill is gone I'm as thrilled with my speakers today as I was the day I bought them in 2015. | |
| Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable I am plenty happy with my LP12- next yer will be my 25th year owning it. Anyone who says the LP12 easily drifts out of adjustment has not had experience with an LP12 in at least 30 years. Frankly, one of the more remarkable improvements over the y... | |
| Why are people paying these stupid tube prices? @lpretiring Who's asking 10K for a fuse? I gotta see this! |
