Budget Phono preAmp
I picked up a used Chord Huei and have been very happy with it. It can do MM and MC and best of all I can switch gain and impedence on the fly via the buttons on the top of the unit. Saves from having to change dip switches or resistors which save... 
Who is ditching their shiny disc spinners?
I just got the new SACD of Dark Side of the Moon today in the mail. Can't wait to see how it stacks up to the other various versions I have of this album.Digital to me is just another method of getting what I really want more of...music. 
Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
I have heard about this issue from three different people now that backed up their claims with video. It must be an issue.I was lucky. Mine was flawless and sounds amazing. But damn, would be flaming mad if they made me wait for a fix.

I have had this table for a few months now with no issues. That definitely isn't right.

Audio Research VT80SE amp vs Prima Luna EVO 400 or 300

What did you make for Christmas?
If you ever wanna get rid of that Teres platter MC...let me know! :)That's one of the best looking pieces of audio gear I have ever looked at in person. The pics don't do it justice.

troutki50 - Let that strawman burn. Why not just enjoy the music irrespective of the source media?Yup, like I said. Its like two flavors of ice cream. That said, really happy to finally be listening to my vinyl collection again. (I never stopped ...

I still enjoy my digital gear and have it playing throughout the day on Tidal and Quobz. I am sure once the new wears off a bit it may not seem like there is a distinct gap between the vinyl set-up and the digital. In the end, its like two good fl...

Ha MC. Yes, I still have some tweaks to go and will recalibrate things in a couple weeks. 
Point of higher priced streamer?
I tested multiple "steamers" but didn't scratch the surface as there are so many out there. In the end, I felt the DAC made the biggest difference. I tested several combos but it is really futile as there are soooo many.In the end, I chose a Strea...
