What record weight for Rega RP10
Glennewdick. Thank you for your response and I think what you describe is probably the best answer I have seen. As mentioned sound organization never gave me a response other than you shouldn't need one. Which I interpreted as Rega doesn't make an... 
What record weight for Rega RP10
Elliotnewcombjr. Thank you for your suggestion, my spindle isn’t 1/2” without a record so the reel holder would not present an issue. Is this something that you are using and what table do you have? Stringreen. I am curious as to your response. C... 
Should I Sell My ARC REF 6 and Get A Pass Labs XP-32
I tried this about a year or so ago. I traded my REF5SE in on an Ayre KX5-Twenty as I wanted to get away from the tube heat. Within 120 days I sold the Ayre and now have a LS28SE and am much happier. I never have heard any PASS gear except at Rock... 
What was your first record?
“it’s a Small World after All” Disney Records  just kidding Satisfaction-Rolling Stones on 45  1st LP Beach Boys-Surfing USA (now MIA)  
RIP Jimmy Buffett
Just saw him last night on a rerun of Blue Bloods which inspired me to listen to A Pirate Looks At 40 and Havana Daydreaming, my 2 favorites.Then  to see the news this morning was such a blow. He truly leaves behind a legacy of a style of his own ... 
What would your "perfect speaker" sound like.
Like the artist intended.  
Qobuz email looks suspicious
Good advice, just send it to trash. I keep getting emails from companies providing receipts for stuff I never ordered from companies I have never heard of. Always on a PayPal receipt. I finally closed my PayPal account to be safe, since PayPal cu... 
Chord Qutest——>No difference
Charlie, it is always good to hear that a fellow music lover has reached a level of satisfaction with a new component. I am sure you will get years of enjoyment from your Cutest, as did I.  Regards Theo  
RIP Robbie Robertson
What a tremendous loss, a true treasure trove of talent. His self titled album has always been on my desert island list, not a bad song on it. His contributions through the years will never be matched again. He will be missed with deep sorrow. Da...

Time and money, we all have that hill to overcome in this hobby  
Chord Qutest——>No difference
Teh-chuckles i experimented with and found 2v worked best for me. But I think that is really pre-amp specific, I have an audio research. I did contact AR as I was concerned 3v might be too much, but they said it wasn’t.    Anyway it sounds like ... 
Chord Qutest——>No difference
I owned this combination and noticed the Qutest brought more warmth and definition to the sound field. So I am surprised to hear your response to the change. I had traded a Rega DAC in on the Chord so I never really used the Bluesound direct to th... 
MX-151
When you unplug the unit, do you press any buttons while unplugged? It helps to drain any stored capacitance by pushing buttons. That will help on the reboot process, but it sounds like you have a processor that is hanging up. I had a similar issu... 
What happened to all the highend stereo shops
Agreed, at 67 I remember the small city I live in back when it was about 50000 population. At that time it had 3 shops that carried at least 3-4 higher end brands and a few lower priced. They had passion for music and wanted to help the customers ... 
Chord Qutest question
I had a Cutest and yes you have 4 inputs that can be assigned to individual sources. One of the reasons I traded up to the Hugo TT2 was the remote for the switching on inputs as well as filter. You have a great DAC in the Cutest, enjoy.
