I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's
@oregon The TV dinners sucked but JoAnn Castle brought the house down every time.  I implore anyone who who hasn't heard her give a listen!  
Interesting "Self" review...Schiit
Marketing genius.  These guys are good! I'll bet Asgard sales ticked up...  
End Game Turntable suggestions
I still think you will end up with an RP-10.  I have not heard the Aphelian 3, but the P-10 with the Apheta 3 is impressive (and hits your budget with no room to spare).  
Protip: Using a sub? Plug your mains
It all depends on what you want.  I do not recommend filling the port or reducing the volume of your enclosure unless your speakers are poorly designed in the first place (or if they are designed to be optionally plugged). I use a small REL sub u... 
Advice for bookshelf speakers
JBL L100s.  They sound great powered by any crappy amp and, at least, JBL says they are bookshelf speakers and you can smash them against the wall.  You will be delighted!  
HELP!!!! Newbie looking for a decent 2 channel power amp in the $1,000 range
Khartego, but spend the extra bucks and have Klaus gussy it up for you.  
DAC recommendations
You do not need a better DAC.

Looks like you are getting an RP-10.  Unfortunate that you do not find the 1200 G attractive. I could care less about the looks.  I do not need the adjustable speed and all the strobes and flashing lights.  The cover with its little dome is hard ... 
Why do so many sellers take offense to offers on their listings?
Either name your price or put it up to auction.  I don't understand why this is an issue.  
Help…looking to buy turntable
I'd look at a Technics sl1200C ($1200 with a decent Ortofon 2M Red cart).  It has a built-in phono pre, but for an additional $129 you could get a Schitt Mani and that should keep you going for a while. The tonearm has a SME style head shell conne... 
Cable curmudgeon
I started with a cardboard record player. When I got a little older, my mom let me play records on her console stereo. The sound was better, especially the bass. Next step was a Dynamo ST70/PAS 3x powering Utah 12" speakers. Better. Then I swapped... 
Are Harbeth the only warm and euphonic speakers in town ?
Why is it that so many people are gunning for Harbeths? I'll admit they won't suit everybody, but they are the only speakers I have ever owned that don't have me itching for an upgrade.  
Is Old Music Killing New Music?
Music forever changed with the advent of recording.  It went from being largely participatory to a passive listening experience.  Once producers learned they could can it and sell it, record companies became the arbiters of taste (having cut their... 
What is it I'm failing to grasp?
Listening to music is not effortless for me. I must be intellectually and emotionally engaged to, at least, some extent. I have to, and want to, think about it. Playing music in the background is not the same as listening to music (as I define it... 
Decisive moments your your audio journey
Someone else brought up Grado headphones. Snapping a set of of SR60s on an unsuspecting person’s head is pure evil.
