All in One amp up to $7k
McIntosh MB50 streamer, new 2K used ? An generous number of integrated choices. Previously owned will keep you under 7K. Not everybody is enamored with the McIntosh sound signature. Check them out before you buy.  AB

Music with Titles that get you to think
"How Can You Be In Two Places At Once When You're Not Anywhere At All" Another Firesign Theatre thought provoking title. AB  
Are your records a health concern?
@noromance, your link to the age old vinyl vs cd debate states   It may seem like this is a new thing that only emerged prior to CDs in the 1980s, but that's sadly not the case. Digital recording goes way back to 1976 — for reference, the Rolling... 
Time heals all wounds?
 Back in my college days (early 70's), there was a 'Procrastinators Club Of America'. I thought it to be in step to wait awhile before joining. Recently I found the Procrastinators Club Of America with a simple Google search. I reached out to the ... 
Are You a Swifty?

Noir album recommendations

I took Frank Zappa’s advice

I took Frank Zappa’s advice
 Frank Zappa was a musical genius. There's no one on the planet that could contradict this sentiment. He demonstrated this fact by excelling at all types of music from rock to pop to jazz to classical. Open your mind to the cynical, and humorous p... 
Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One.
The 'White Album' would be a great choice, however I'd have to go with Pink Floyd's 'The Wall'.  P.S. Theres about a hundred more that run a close second....  
Any other Pipe And Slippers Audiophiles out there?
Oh yeah,  @akg_ca, 71, quit smoking tobacco 12 yrs ago, preferences, a fine old Bourbon and my vape pen, all the nicotine, without the tar! McIntosh w/ JBL's. It's all good except for the aforementioned side effects. Getting old isn't for meek.
