| Suggestion for phono preamp in sub 2k price to complement Rega Planar 8 with Apheta 3 MC @jrw1971 Thanks for the comparison, I was originally looking at the Rega Aria to stay in the same family.

I have a vintage stereo system and listen almost daily. I refuse to let it interfere with my enjoyment of music. If it can be of use I found one exercise that I use befo... | |
| Hunt for new floor standers Golden Ear Triton Three+ if you stretch your budget a bit. You might also find them and the Two + used for less. I believe are $1300 each and they have around a 91 db efficiency rating. I have only heard the One and Reference but liked both of t... | |

| Anyone Upgrade NAD D 3020 Power Cable? @akg_ca , That was my thought process too, for the price point and performance level the cost benefit wouldn’t be justified. Thank you for your input.@mesch the Pangea cable is what made me post this question, thanks.@roberjerman that’s why I was ... | |
| Need help selecting a system with Tidal streaming (Maybe MQA) and speakers for around $1k. @2psyop yes I have factored in the cost of Tidal and the 2 reasons for just streaming is the exploration of there catalog plus all my lps and CDs are in storage. | |
