Truly Stunning Vinyl Album
"Jazz at the Pawnshop" is considered one of the great, near perfect audiophile recordings out there. It's an all-time classic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_at_the_Pawnshop?wprov=sfla1    
What was the most expensive record that you ever bought ?
Yes - Fragile....mofi 185g 45rpm numbered $250  
Time heals all wounds?
You wisely had the restraint not to impulsively start taking it apart, ending up with a pile of screws and other parts that, try as you might, could not get back together to no avail, forcing you to put everything in a cardboard box in the basemen... 
I suddenly have a weird buzz issue; can someone help me solve the problem?
Longshot reply here. Had persistent buzz/hum. Called Steve at Decware. Thought it might be the amp. I started listing the numerous components in the system. He told me to shut up. He asked if there was a WiFi router near the components. I said yes... 
Qobuz vs. Tidal
Qobuz via Roon  
DAC suggestions for a reasonably modest system
RME ADI-2 DAC FS PCM/DSD best bang for buck at $1300  
Seeking Honest Opinions: Your Experience with McIntosh Audio Gear
Couple of fun facts before this falls apart:  1. Still made in the USA. You can make an appointment to tour the factory in Binghamton, NY. Not sure, but I think tubes are still Russian. 2. They own Sonus Faber & Sumiko 3. They are owned by ... 
Tidal FLAC vs. Qobuz

Speaker Hum
Certainly one of the more frustrating situations....In my case, after a lot of trial and error, my problem went away after I realized it was the wifi router. Moved it further away and problem disappeared for good.

Low buzzing through speaks

Zu Dirty Weekend 6 went on sale today
Thanks for the encouraging response. Got notified today that mine are shipping on 9/23. Fyi, Steve Guttenberg reviewed the DW6 yesterday on YouTube.  
Looking for a preamp with XLR connections
Mola Mola Makua. Upper end of your range. End game component. Maybe find one pre-owned. There was one here on agon that got snapped up. Pretty much as good as it gets without requiring a second mortgage to obtain.  
Bricasti M5 or Lumin U1 Mini or ?
@aberyclark the acquisition process was stellar (more about that in my post from 11/2/21). Could have not asked for a smoother transaction and excellent price. The installation process was all of a few minutes. Plugged in, hooked it up, turned it ...
