Thanks again for all the input so far. I have a couple questions maybe you can help me out with.If the technics has a more homogenized, or quiet sound as some have described, but can also be upgraded in many ways...do the upgrades not impact this ...

is it that hard to find vinyl? My goal is not to replace my library of cd's but obtain albums over time. If it's not worth getting in to without already having a collection...why would anyone ever get in to it at all...unless they received some li...

Part of what has me interested in going Vinyl is what I think would be "the journey" involved with it. It looks like there is a lot of tweaking and upgrading that can be done to get changes in the sound here and there. I've also really liked the s...

Is my system bottlenecked?
So I've decided to replace my rotel amps. Any suggestions? I was considering 2 anthem mca30's. Any opinions on other amps or even if the anthem would be considered a worthwhile upgrade from the rotels?

best amp solution for ht and 2 channel
I'd say somewhere around 3000 total but I can spend more if I have too. I've considered the anthem amps but haven't had a good oppurtunity to listen to them and they don't have my speakers in their listening room so I don't know how helpfull audit...
