Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
I own two technics sl1200mk2 silver, and one sl1200mk2 black. Still use them, 25 years still perfect.  Silver ones stored for 15+years, unboxed, opened up, cleaned spindle, added fresh oil, plugged in, and pressed start, and still perfect.....they... 
Needle just gets stuck in a particular spot of the record ! What is going on?
Couple drops of dawn dish soap, scrub gently, rinse with clean lukewarm water..  Or let the dawn sit for a couple minutes to loosen the gunk.  
McCormack DNA-750 good?
If I had the money I would Ray them as well.  As mentioned it took me just under 5 years of saving every damn dime I could get. And I still ended Up buying used amps, but I think I bought the right ones, Conrad Johnson makes great stuff, and they ... 
NAD c 565bee- marantz 600? Equilavent
Shame it was discontinued a year ago. I pi guess I'll check out the 546, which is the newer flagship from them, not as good, why would a company lower quality for a new player? 
McCormack DNA-750 good?
Huh, I just found out, after reading the name on the amp boxes, these were owned by Dan Babineau.  Didn't he run the power surge/conditioner company???

AIFF vs Apple Lossless Ripping

With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you
If I had the cash, I would get the sanders sound systems speakers, or a massive pair of reference dynaudio's, or or if I had the time, a pair of cerwin vega 2000-15's, replace all the mid ranges with dynaudio drivers, and a nice beryllium tweeter,... 
Need help choosing mono blocks solid state amplifiers
Way too many too choose from.  Most people in here will just recommend what they are using.  Levinson is a amazing start, personally I would look for newer ones.  After 2005.
