Merry Christmas to Me.....New tonearm on the way
@millercarbon  I had meant to call or email you about that. But life happened and then this arm came up for sale and I grabbed it. But that is good to know. I may have bought the Conqueror if I had known it. But it's still all good. I've never ha...

The arm just arrived. Wife did too. She doesn't know .....yet. Not sure I'll get it setup today. We'll see. FWIW I have not gotten myself all giddy with high expectations. I learned years ago that usually leads to a letdown. But I will hang on to...

@millercarbon  I hear you. I agree, the OL is a fantastic arm, especially for its price point. I kick myself for passing up an Enterprise last year. But...oh well.I will let you know my assessment of the TriPlanar @axpert  Please don't  take fo...

DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!?
@kmckenn I also have a power conditioner but maybe it has less to strain out at night. I don’t know. But There is probably more to it also. IE, even though I am retired I find it hard to get into listening during the day. I feel like I need to be... 
DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!?
Its said to be because the power grid is not as congested at night due to closed businesses. Therefore the grid has less pollution. As to cars running better @cd318 , I hadn't thought about that since I was a kid with my 1st car. Indeed that car ... 
What, in your opinion, should the rules be for YouTube Reviews?
@rsf507  It's worse than that. They didn't even have a sample to listen, so they only used pictures of the inside. This according to the OP. I agree with his assessment and yours. You cannot judge the sound by listening to a YT video or looking a... 
What, in your opinion, should the rules be for YouTube Reviews?

@cindyment  Lol.  Good point  
Upgrading your system three options DAC, Cartridge or speaker cables???
+1 @big_greg  The teac sounds very good. The caveat is poor setup instructions and network issues I encountered. In my case the need for a tablet that I could see.. Somehow I got the bugs out. But this is my first streamer  
What, in your opinion, should the rules be for YouTube Reviews?
Youtube, specifically, they have certain threshold requirements that must be abided by. Yes.? The requirements are that you agree with YouTube.. Maybe YouTube doesn’t like Constellation. Who knows? We now live in a time where opposing views are... 
Higher powered but efficient amp with the imaging of a Pass XA-25?
I agree with @ghdprentice . You are all over the map You have gone from 25wpc to 250wpc and from 97db floor standers to 85db bookshelf speakers. You are trying to fill a big room but that won't be done with bookshelf speakers. Changing amps isn't ...
