AV123 Strata Mini's or Klipsch Forte 3 or 4
I suggest you check out the Forte IV.  They are excellent.    I auditioned the III and liked them enough to buy them but they were at the end of production so I waited a few months and got the IV.    I've never had a speaker that shows changes ups... 
Quicksilver Preamps?
Quicksilver is not Mid Fi at all!!!! They play nice with most gear too. Preamps are so tough to “A” / “B”, it’s not like hooking up two sources and toggling back and forth.   Call Johnny at Audio Connection in NJ... 
What’s the best tube for a Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 preamp

New Klipsch Forte IV

New Klipsch Forte IV
I love my Forte IV, having only auditioned the III  .   I bought them sight unseen but have no regrets. I wasn’t looking for a speaker,  I got a generous trade in on mine so it made it possible .   I heard Volti’s larger speaker a few years back a... 
Klipsch Cornwall IV
Thats just the thing about the new Heritage, they love good electronics.  They reward you with better sound when you make the right choice in amplification.    I was a with a non audio enthusiast and stopped by a Klipch dealer to pick up an access... 
what is the best Kt88 to get
I have had good luck with Gold Lion.  I can't even tell you how old the ones I'm using are....they are a back up quad and they still match very closely.   I have had other type GL like 66 and 77 and they didn't last nearly as long  
Best and Worst customer service?
Shout out to Chris Johnson at Parts Connexion......  Chris always goes out of his way to help. 
Is lack of xlr connects on preamp ok if streaming?
Some of the best sounding gear is single ended RCA.... no need to worry.  What CJ model are you looking  at? 
Help look for second amp
I have been rotating equipment lately....   Just picked up a Fanfare FT1a and a Sonic Frontiers SFL-1. They are both filling in for a CJ pre and Magnum Dynalab tuner.   It’s definitely fun to swap stuff around Im awaiting a new amp and will try bo... 
Technics moving all turntable production to Malaysia
I remember that same feeling whenI unboxed my new Revel and they said Made in Indonesia....... 
What’s the best tube for a Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 preamp
Just ordered.a NOS Mullard 6201 hopefully that will sound better than the JJ, which isn't terrible but not my first choice 
Can the need for novelty and change be mitigated by rotation?
Just picked up a nice Fanfare FT1a tuner  and I'm rotating that in place of my MD102..  I finally have enough nice gear for 2 systems .  No room right now for two but I will keep rotating gear because its fun 
HELP NEEDED Does anybody know how to get an Oppo 105 to lock onto DVD-A?
The 105 is probably set to Bitstream not pcm output...if its an older DAC go into the 105 menu and limit the digital output to 24/96 and drop outs should go away
