Streaming for beginner
I use Tidal and a Sonos Connect. I'm guessing many will feel that that isn't "high end", but I'm very happy with the results. Tidal offers a military discount for their subscriptions, so it becomes even more manageable. I've had it running for a f... 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
I called Morrow today to see where the cables I ordered were after having to hold the order until I returned from a vacation (on their way it seems), and asked them what I should do if I like the pre burned in sound...in jest of course...they did ... 
I have a few things i dont need, how do i get them gone?

Best Sounding Classic Rock Cd's
Toy Matinee - Toy MatineeThis is an awesome CD and very well recorded. Great musicianship.  It gets outside of Classic Rock, but when you consider it was released in 1990, it probably meets the requirements for the expected vintage if not the expe... 
Advice on Phono Cartridge
What table/tonearm did you have the OM-5 on?Was also a Pro-Ject Debut III.  I think you'll like the 2M Blue. 
Advice on Phono Cartridge
I had an Ortofon 2M Blue on a Technics SL-1200 M3D, and it sounded great.  I was hesitant to buy the Blue as I had a previous experience with an OM-5.  I know they're two completely different cartridges, but I was afraid that the "house" sound of ...
