I still would love to get together, but the end of March didn’t seem to work out.  To anyone in the area that might be interested, I built a pair of the Neil Blanchard Designs 4T4 speakers for my son.     They  sound amazingly good, especially for...

@audphile1 That is a pretty amazing coincidence.   I just pulled out my Teac reel to reel.   It used to be fully functional, but I haven’t used it in 30 years.   I was wondering if I could get away with replacing the tape heads and getting a tape ...

@audphile1 I understand completely.  I have no plans to sell my analog set up!  But, at the same time, I'm not sure I'll add thousands of albums to my collection at this point in my life.  If friends tell me that I really should have a certain alb...

@dirkbusche , you're absolutely right A to D!  I appreciate your suggestions.

@ghdprentice Ive spent more money on my digital front end than my analog.   And I probably will continue to upgrade it.  I’m usually very happy with the sound I’m getting while streaming.  Sometimes it can sound better than the vinyl album I have....

@pdspiegel thank you for this suggestion.   I see that Tascam used for a reasonable price.  I think I’ll pick it up!

@audphile1 I have an EAT Eglo petit.    If I were going to seriously pursue a great analog system, that is one of the things I’d upgrade.  But I lost a lot of my vinyl collection while it was in storage.  I probably only have 200-300 albums that a...

Thank you for your responses.  I’ll look at the Tascam and the McIntosh.  I saw a used Bencmark ADC 1 for sale used, but I thought it was priced pretty high.     I have Qobuz and have been streaming for a while, and really enjoy it.  But I have a...

@usaltus @sophiemia @slf @robperry123 @swaudiofan Let's look at  a time the last weekend in March.  I'll check with my wife to see when might work (she will want to be away.  My cell # is 508-951-6953.  [email protected].  In the meantime, ...

@slf I would be interested in seeing UVB if I can arrange it.  What instruments do the musicians you're hosting play?  If you have any horn or trumpet players, I may well know them.   Steve

@sophiemia @slf @swaudiofan @lsvoharry Since SLF is Busy this coming week, is anyone available the following weeK?  I'm happy to host the first event.  @lsvoharry , it looks like I'm about 2 hours 40 minutes from you.  Will that work?   Thoughts?...

@slf @sophiemia @swaudiofan Waterbury is pretty centrally located.  We could meet somewhere in town for coffee, lunch or dinner; I’d be happy to facilitate.  Alternatively, I’d be happy to host at my house and have people hear my system and offer ...

@slf @sophiemia I think I have a bottle of Laphroaig on the shelf😉  
Vermont?
@billstevenson I know more of those components than you might imagine.  I had a Conrad Johnson PV -12A for a while.   Looks like you have a great system!  My prior system was pretty unusual; Blue Circle pre amp and matching class A monoblocks as w...
