Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming
Sorry, I got my decades mixed up on an earlier post.  In the early 90s record labels stopped pressing vinyl. There were independent record plants who kept the presses going. Some "Audiophile" records were available. There were a few bands who rel... 
Stereophile review of Millercarbon system featuring Tektron speakers
I believe he sold the Millercarbon turntable.  
Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming
It’s very possible that albums from the 90s were recorded to 2" analogue tape. Then transferred to digital for post production; many ADD albums from the 90s. No matter what the process, there were many good quality albums from that era.  
Quick Question About Power Cables
@goofyfoot  Oh yes, on this tube amp I’ve used Cullen, Furutech, PS Audio, and a Core Power cable.  
Quick Question About Power Cables
I've tried so many PCs, I can't remember them all (btw, I can hear a difference). Transparency is the goal for my current tube system. I tried AS interconnects and liked them even though they came in second in the shootout. A friend said if I lik... 
Quick Question About Power Cables
I have an older The Statement PC too, and use it on my sub. It's better than stock or cheap PCs and has a nice tonal balance but it's downside is resolution. A little fuzzy but not as fuzzy as Cardas Clear. YMMV, but your Statement PC is being ...

@tylermunns  Thanks, great answer. I forgot how screwy song selection was between the UK and US releases.  It makes me wonder if the band and UK label decided the format for the release. Then the US label and distributor decided what the Yanks sh...

45 Singles You Just Had to Buy
I have lots of 12" 45's purchased in the 80s. They contain remixes and extended club versions of the single or a popular track found on the LP. And they weren't over compressed, just enough to keep the disc from jumping the grooves. These tracks ... 
SPDIF splitter
Instead of using Optical, I can output AES/EBU from my transport. The streamer will use SPDIF coax. Has anybody tried or can offer advice  about this digital converter? I'll be using 2 in/1 out (to dac)... https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/3...
