| members and their systems @birdscantrow: I get your question and I think it is a common one. When I came to this forum a year ago, I was totally unfamiliar with the audiophile-level equipment and brands, and I too thought, “Who can spend $100,000 on stereo equipment?” I... | |
| How Do You Store Your Record Collection? Recommendations Please! I’m cheap. I bought a couple of these crates at my local Walmart. They hold about 75 albums each.https://www.walmart.com/ip/Crosley-Record-Storage-Crate/49606723?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSeller... | |
| The Wilt Chamberlain of Audio Gear I’m just one year into this hobby, and that is what I consider it, for me. I am looking at it as, “What is missing in my life that I am trying to find by ‘getting lost in the music’?” I had just lost a love relationship and was looking to find s... | |
| to buy or not to buy (ultrasonic record cleaner) When I hesitantly decided to get back into vinyl, I wasn’t sure about it or putting big money into it. So I bought a TT for under $300 and got a SpinClean. I go far beyond the SpinClean’s recommendations of a few spins, as the records I had were... | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? The bad concerts that come to mind were all in recent years. I think they were even more disappointing because we had high hopes they would be good:Bob Dylan — As others noted, he was like this little depressed old man that mumbled, not sure he d... | |

| A system for my college-bound daughter Sean Fowler has his “Zero Fidelity” videos on YouTube. This one is his recommendation for affordable quality amp and speakers. Your daughter could stream through the system or add accessory equipment. Worth a look:https://youtu.be/6UcVCk27N8I | |
| The Weekend I think the SB halftime shows fall victim to the same problem the game itself does: very high expectations. After all the build-up, people want to be wowed with something good they haven’t seen, and in real life that is hard to do. In a regular... | |
| Looking for a tube Preamp new or used for under $2000... @speakermaster, thanks for the advise. How do I learn about impedance matching between preamplifier and amp? I thought of impedance regarding speakers (4, 6 or 8 ohms) but not between electronic gear. | |
| Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier? daj, I understand your points and think they were well-stated.. | |
| Looking for a tube Preamp new or used for under $2000... I also have the A21 but with the P5 pre. I have also wondered what a tube preamp would do for that vaunted “tube sound”. I’m looking at these options as well. 👍🏻 | |
| Enquiring minds want to know I’ve wondered: “Wouldn’t it be cheaper to sample an hallucinatory drug to achieve auditory nirvana than to spend $20,000 on apparatus?” | |
| The Decline of the Music Industry If I might venture a guess, I think the difference between music now versus decades ago is that the criteria for judging talent has changed, not only for music but for the movie and TV industries as well. I think today the singers and actors that... |
