Basis Audio - Exhorbitant servicing evaluation cost
In a scenario where talented manpower was limited, I can understand the motivation why a company may choose to put their effort in supporting direct sales, but limiting support for used second hand items  
Ceramic cartridge phono stage options?
Impressive. Amazed at the depth and knowledge of those on this forum.  Thanks for sharing.  
Outer Vinyl Sleeves, is it a good idea?
Mold? Perhaps it’s from moisture build up from excess perspiration caused by the dancing audiophile 😉  
Upgraded from Klipsch to Volti - Was it worth it?
@namrider1 Congrats!  Glad you got a big sonic boost.  I own the Volti Rivals to discover tube warmth magic including flea watt SET amps Strange how Volti speakers have been put into my YouTube algorithm for the last couple weeks @gkelly - it’...

What is your vinyl commitment?

30k turntable, tonearms, phono pre, and 30k+ in top cartridges (VDH Grand Cru, Lyra Etna, Koetsu Coralstone D, Miyajima Infinity Mono, SPUs…), 1500 vinyl records.    
Single way or multiway
Who is right, and who is wrong? I disagree with your leading premise that there is a “right vs wrong”. Perhaps if a single driver can do the speed of treble down to bass that can move enough air would be ideal, but doesn’t exist.  Therefore tr... 
Can single ended 211 or 212 amplifiers drive magnepan 20.7?

At an upgrade path fork in the road
This is a tough ask because you’re completely changing your Sonics requirements in an all-in-one integrated/DAC/streamer - we cannot tell you what you’ll subjectively like. Also, quality DACs are usually stand alone.  Many DACs within an integrat...
