| If a tree falls in the forest… Being the “only one” to hear great classical music on your own personally assembled and maintained stereo is, I gather a common experience among readers here. Even though I am fortunate enough to be a member of a group of people who refer to ourse... | |

Even though I checked the seller’s history on CAM and exchanged several emails about associated equipment, shared experiences etc... | |
| All-In-One Options I have been very happy with the Marantz SACD 30 n. I de-cluttered by eliminating a dac, cd,ddc and streamer. Never looked back... | |

| Do You Regret Selling Your Turntable and Albums ? @smodking1 Ouch… I feel for you. What a sobering experience. I am personally moved and sad that that happened to you.
