| Question for the older folks- did you ditch vinyl when cd arrived? To this day I have never bought a CD player. I can play CDs on my Oppo BD 105 but I bought it to watch Blu Ray movies and listen to SACDs. I have about 15 CDs. Probably 150 SACDs. About 100 movies. I concentrate on my vinyl front end because I ha... | |

| Vivid Audio users, how would you describe the sound signature? Vivid? | |
| What became of the guy making OB speakers about 2 years ago? I'll admit openly to being baffled as to who the OP is referring to. | |
| What is the best sounding vinyl? This is a question akin to: What is the best food? The answer depends upon how you derive a rating and what you like. For instance: Are you referencing recording quality. How you even define recording quality. The style of music, because ... | |
| Burn it Down and Start Over I'd be tempted, if starting over from scratch to build these: www.troelsgravesen.dk/The-Loudspeaker-2.htm This is a guy who has done a deep dive into loudspeakers. Sharing his journey with the rest of us. He seems deeply fascinated with th... | |
| Recommended a highly resolving cartridge I have never even plugged it into the mains. Let alone listened to it Raul. The Hornshoppe The Truth is much more to my system philosophy. Less is more. You might wonder why I bought the Luxman C-5000A. I had always aspired to own one and one sho... |
