| Advice on restarting vinyl playback after 30 years Thanks for the breakdown Vernneal. Seems like the VPI Classic XX should be a good starting point.

Wonder how good that is?I'm not worried about having the older vinyl matching with newer technology or even looking at old school tables. I have 2 in the garage. I tried to spin vinyl on them but it was so far from being goo... | |

I met my wife in Ukraine (long story) and her exposure to music was nothing more than a really cheap boombox.Coming to America and seeing my setup which was at the time a pair of Def Tech BP2000's AR15 pre Classe DAC 1, Theta Transport and a pair ... | |
| Opinions Please - my next speaker $5 to $10K used There's a pair of the GMA HD's for sale locally. Nice looking speakers. Nice writeup for the C3's on 6moons website. Interesting. | |
| Opinions Please - my next speaker $5 to $10K used Interesting opinions, thanks. I've never even heard of GMA speakers. Will they be around for the next 5 years?No there's no perfect speaker, but a lot of great ones. I like my MBL's. They don't move a lot of air but they give great air where it's ... | |
| Perfect Wave DAC and Bridge I can only speak from using a Upnp server for which the Bridge will allow control from a computer when the user does not own an Apple control device.I am up and running using Jriver software and it works well enough. PSA just released a firmaware ... | |

I just can't leave well enough alone.New baby wants my time but loves music too (I think).Now I want to set it and forget it, but... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound STP Special Edition Vs. Pass X-1 Now you got me thinking. I was interested as well regarding the wyred for sound pre. But owning the x350.5 I guess I should be looking at what seems to be the best piece of audio gear I've purchased. A pass product. Just having baby though, I'm sc... |
