cassettes CAN sound better than vinyl.
Great thread! I love using my 682ZX and CR4 machines. The dolby C with then newer chip in the CR4 is incredible. Very quiet. This is as far as tape technology got for me. I love the sound of tape and I can hear it on a good system. I like it becau... 
Advent 300
peter s The tech made it great again, I am very satisfied with the sound. I am okay with the adcom amp but am wondering why I sold my hafler DH 220 a couple years ago, would sound good like you said I bet.  
Helping a kid out
You are wonderful to give your time and effort to the kid. Building something is way better in long run than buying. The sacrifice, time, effort etc. we all been there and remember. He will learn so much. You all said it so well. I did not even kn... 
Low budget vintage preamp or new
jasonbourne, which one of those preamps is your favorite or go to one? I am curious. I like buying something that is classic or proven back in the day and picking up on ebay when seller moves on to new stuff. Counterpoint is pretty interesting. I ... 
Cable co. is forcing me to rent or buy what they call a
Jweilers, I like your amount of equipment. Very cool. I remember torrents. Oh boy. I use a simple digital antenna on the roof mounted to my old direct tv spot. It is totally free and the 1080 pixel quality is superb! Digital feed right through the... 
Advent 300
I have not heard the NAD sound I used to like. I miss the hafler sound. It was super warm and nice. The hafler 110 was a very nice preamp also but this advent might be better.

Thanks everyone for jumping in this discussion. I do have a nice reference B &K amplifier I want to use with it. The adcom is okay for a while. Any other amp suggestions.  
thought on eBay?
I would stick with audiogon and audio mart. If it is a unit for under a thousand dollars I take my chances. I always contact the seller and ask questions. If the seller knows about audio it will come out in the correspondence. If I do not get a re... 
Is your now then?
My first exposure to the high end sound was in a stereo sales shop in the mall. Perruex amps driving large ADS towers with Teac reel to reels. Wow that sound coming from those speakers! Tight bass, quick, dynamic. I never heard percussion so good.... 
I’m also worried about how much of the harmonics in the music is LOST by the amp?
I also like Pangea cables. I got the optical also a while back. I hear way more fidelity when hooking up using the coaxial input. I need to upgrade there next.  
eBay / PayPal: Beware - enough is never enough.
I do not want to give my personal information like my last four digits of social security or my birthdate or bank draft number to ebay.  I am not sure now about ebay anymore. I will certainly use the managed payments and their shipping label to be... 
stereo review magazine
ecscott, Thanks for posting the link to all those past SR and High Fidelity stereo magazines! How did you get them all? I saw a few and downloaded. Great. Memories, wow! 
Schiit Urd CD Transport vs Marantz CD6007 Player
I have the Cambridge Audio dedicated CD transport. It is wonderful but what I hear is the DAC that I plug into it. Very happy so far. Under 500 dollars US and clean sounding. I like Schiit gear very much and own some. I imagine the transport they ... 
Schitt Saga tube buffer preamplifier gain?
George,I am at full volume on the schitt saga preamp. This way I can use my source plugged in to turn it up (tape deck output, integrated amp output and of course my wonderful schitt asgard headphone amp which I love sound of) The weakest source i... 
Schitt Saga tube buffer preamplifier gain?
I just  really should pull the trigger on the Freya plus. It does it all! I use the Saga plus with my Schiit Asgard class A headphone amp and with just one tube that the Saga plus uses the sound is incredible. Detail, smooth and still dynamic with...
