Any other Pipe And Slippers Audiophiles out there?
As long as we're one-upping on numbers, I turn 76 in January. Along with age comes a long list of doctors (specialists) and an equally long list of medications On a serious note, my sister passed away last week from medullary thyroid cancer She w... 
SACD is VERY confusing
  soix; I remember that war well. Sony had the technically superior format but convenience and longer play time won that war.  
Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ?
It just depends on your preferred distortion.  
AddPowr Sorcer X4 -- Huh?
Just meant that for a tweak, if you have rear speakers, You should try a spring reverb. It would give you a nice "boing-boing" echo. Kind of like yelling into a well. Toung in cheek. No offence intended.  
For wi-fi streamers--a discovery to increase wi-fi strength
I'm hard wired from my gateway to my Node and from Node to preamp. AT&T gigabit service. I've never experienced buffering or dropout. If you have to use wi-fi I suppose that can throw a monkey wrench into things.  
Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!!
audioman58 Trying your best to burst his bubble? So, price is proportional to quality of sound.    
AddPowr Sorcer X4 -- Huh?
I think this is kind of like the spring reverb a friend of mine had in his 1957 Chevy (6 cylinder, 4 door , 3 on the tree). Had an AM radio since FM was not yet a thing in our area. No 8 track or Cassette either, not invented yet. That was our ve...

For those who always dreamed of owning a Nakamichi
  secretguy: If you're old enough to remember, the Nakamichi Dragon tape deck was a lot of pre digital era audiophiles dream.

It is a shame. If you search some of the formerly great names in electronics, 😿.Kenwood for one, even Bose.  
Yamaha M80 Amp
I’m located in the St Louis metro area. Used to be a shop called Alpha tec that was an authorized Yamaha repair shop. He knew the old stuff and brought my CR2020 back to life. Unfortunately, he closed down several years ago. i only know of two ot... 
KEF R3 Meta's - too much for my Marantz Model 30?
I have the R3 Metas. They performed well with a Yamaha 80wpc receiver. I now power them with an Emotiva A2 amp (160/250 wpc). The Model 30 falls well into the upper range of KEF's recommended power requirements.

The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation"
Just to add my two cents, since it came up.  I have an original Discwasher system. Brush, stylus brush and mirror, Zerostat gun and tester bulb. All in a very nice walnut holder. I lived in central Missouri at the time Discwasher came on the mark...
