Did a satisfaction threshold exist under 1000 bucks ?
Speaking of Thoreau, Steve reichert's "Gramophone Dreams" column in this month's Stereophile pretty much highlights the unctuous, boujee lifestyle some audiophiles live. (is this the article you referred to, @kota1 ?) . He was visiting a friend wh...

Moving Up from a Jolida JD9
+1 on the Tavish. Also recommend the Hagermann Trumpet MC   
It this a decent Phono setup?
Does it sound good to you? If so, then yes.   
From whence does Sound Stage come?
@oldrooney  yeah, hard to believe. But she was really pragmatic and conscientious about her Studio sound. She spent as much time behind the boards as the sound Engineers did.  
From whence does Sound Stage come?
@oldrooney  Here you go!  
From whence does Sound Stage come?
There's another thread here about soundstage depth that has many tracks listeners use to measure that metric. I used some of those tracks to compare stage depth for my setup. It's quite amazing how much care some artists put into their track's pro...
