I have a friend from college who still has the same system he had in the seventies and my brother has all his tunes in his phone and is perfectly happy listening to them through the phones 1/4” speakers. If they’re happy and are still listening to... | |

| Reliability - what’s your experience been? I had a Sumo preamp lose a channel. Never could get it fixed and a tweeter went out on a KEF Reference speaker and not from abuse. Everything else has been maintenance like a turntable belt or replacing some tubes. | |

| Jazz for aficionados @jbuhl Not yet. I want to hear it first. I like a lot of Miles Davis, but not all of it. Anybody pony up for the physical media of Miles Davis Bootleg Series Vol8? | |
| Tune of the Day @reubent It’s definitely my favorite too.😃 @curiousjim - I'm a huge dada fan. The album "Puzzle" is excellent all the way through. All killer, no filler. Was fortunate to see them live a couple of time, including this past summer. Took my 20 ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @simonmoon What a dynamic recording! Unsuk Chin - Violin concerto No. 1 (2001) | |
