Do you Think Altec model 19 is outdated speakers ?
There are no outdated speakers when it comes to great American brands such as Altec Lansing. I’m still using speakers made in 1986 and they sound incredible. I had to crossovers redone and that’s about it. Keep rocking on!

Schiit Skoll phono stage
I am not saying the Skoll sounds better than my current phono stage by Musical Surroundings, but it might? I can not see that happening but I may have to try it out and listen for myself someday soon! I am currently using a low output Grado Statem... 
Streamer apps critical
I use a Bluesound Node mainly because I am new to streaming, and you guys mention it in the past how good it was getting sound wise and app wise. I gave up on trying to find a decent priced used Cambridge Audio  streamer. I love the CD transport I... 
Can I use my Nakamichi cassette deck to record on tape into a Schiit Freya plus preamp?

Bluesound Node help
I will get working on it and order the adapter. It looks like the website support will be a big help. It sure is not like hooking up old fashioned receivers and all analogue components which I am used to doing. Thank you!
