| Replacing components, Please weigh in! Take a look at the musical fidelity m6si integrated and then look at the musical fidelity nu Vista vinyl phono pre. I have these 2 components and I think I may be buried with them cuz I enjoy them that much. I say this cause the music u play is s... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? I'll go the other direction....the best tweaks are a good glass of scotch, a poke of herbal essence and the wonderful cover of night. System always sounds great under these conditions. | |
| So just how much vinyl do YOU own? I own a couple hundred records. I jumped back to vinyl after buying CD's for 40 yrs. What I've done is looked at my large CD collection and decided that on vinyl I would buy only the album's I truly loved. So for me it's all killer not filler i... | |

| Recommend Affordable Integrated Amps (Solid State or Tube) Check out the Musical Fidelity M6si...its a powerhouse with a great design. Its solid state but has a smooth punchy delivery that I enjoy. Its design is basically two mono blocks inside one chassis. Havent tried the phono stage but also use Musi... | |

| Upgrading Turntable suggestions Feeling the need to tinker and possibly get more detail and soundstage from my records. | |
| Amplification question - PrimaLuna Tubes vs. McIntosh Solid State The answer is simple: to create the warmth for the digital music the tubes can work their magic. Your ears will thank you | |

| Best integrated from this list... I have a similar sized room and use a Vincent SV237 hybrid integrated and the sound is smooth clean bright and boisterous. My speakers are ML ethos. I had in my decision a Musical Fidelity M5si...but went for the tubes | |
