R2R next? Don't like ESS
Get a Audio Mirror Toubadour IV SE or a LAIV Harmony DAC...both R2R  and never go back!  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Michael Nesmith....."Loose Salute"  
Best Used Tube Based Preamp $2k Or Under?
The best is AUDIO-GD Tube preamp. They are very musical and a great value.  
Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover)
No Stone Unturned....The Rolling Stones  
Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers
Magico and Borresen...can't miss.  
speaker upgrade fever
The Borresen X-3’s are a laid back but highly detailed sound and look Beautiful in white. You’ll have a love affair with them. There’s a reason people are talking about them....9K  
New Amp Advice
TMR has the Constellation for $7600....End game amp.  
What compilation album from The Kinks do I want?
I have experienced The Kinks in concert live in person over a dozen times. They are Fantastic. SLEEPWALKER album is my fav !  
Turntable Quandry
I just picked up the new P8 with Apheta 3 cart and it blows away my 20K digital setup. All my albums sound incredible and musical like never before. 4K total  
Nearfield Low-Level Listening : New Speakers or EQ? Thoughts?
Schiit Loki Mini @ $149 will do the trick nicely...don't spend your money on new speakers...try this first. It works!  
Turntable upgrade
Stick with Rega....They are the best bang for the buck. The Apheta 3 cart on the P8 is a big step up from the P6 w/ Ania cart.  
ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS
My Borresen X3's don't measure particularly well but sound fantastic...Natural and coherent. I love 'em!  
Turntable upgrade
I just purchased the P8 w/ Apheta 3 cart. into PS Audio $2500 phono pre. Unbelievable "you are there" sound and quiet as a mouse. Better sounding than my 25K digital setup....My record collection has come alive. I haven't had late night listening ...

Sleepwalker by the Kinks...fantastic Rock album!  
Vacuum Tube Preamp for Solid State Power Amp Pairing
+1 for the Audio-GD HE1-XLR.....I own one and it's a 10K tubed preamp in a 4K package. You can't beat it for the $$. It's a monster w/ 10 tubes and it's own Regenerative Power Supply.
