Should I upgrade my phono pre??
@millercarbon,     Your post should earn you a commission from Herron Audio. You sold me on one. I’ll start with that and keep my eyes peeled for a great SUT.      I’m terrible because I’ve never been a huge fan of the Zesto design theme, but I th...

Amps suggestions for ATC scm 40 mk2
My ATC's (40's but the rare HTS style) sound fabulous driven by a pair of the Red Dragon Audio M100 mk. II Monoblocks. Loads of clean power. The ATC's can really deliver with those!

Well Keith, you have curated a great and lively thread, for sure. Music reproduction by electrical and mechanical engineering is such a complex blend of art, science, and aesthetics that definitive answers will never be universal and.... that's ok... 
A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital..
Of course, sound quality notwithstanding, the sheer joy in finding old collections of records, cleaning the promising ones with my ultrasonic RCM, and cueing them up is often just so amazing. As kind of a known audio-guy and owner of a busy bakery...

Hello All,     Just a semi-related anecdote, I’ve got a large commercial building with a crazy-fun-exasperating sound system (posted in virtual systems, Village Baker Madness). One time I had the great idea to hook up a pair of Jamo E770’s to my N...
