Moon 390 Network Streamer
@ddafoe Yes indeed! although, for the life of me, Im so curious to know and test what an xp22 would sound like in my room. Unfortunately, the only 1 store that sells pass labs here in my city, does not carry the speaker brand I own sadly.

Are you buying used or new? Its a shame you have the preamp section in the 390 because I would probably suggest the 600i v2 if you can get it used. I sold my v1 for so cheap compared to what its worth, and its great. There is of course the 860 if ...

@ericba I see thanks, would the Luna gray or Orange be ok? Seems like Mauve is a out of my budget sadly.   
Moon 390 Network Streamer
@ericba you have a good point there. I have a 280d -> moon 740p -> Pass Labs x250.8  I might look into Luna going from the 280d to 740p, but maybe might need to do the same Im assuming from pre amp to amp as well? from pre amp to amp Im usi...

I have a 280d and its really good. You will like the 390. Not sure why someone would say they might not be in business much longer. I would love to see a source / article you read stating that they are biting the dust...

Just to add, I would start with the Classic cable and look into the ultimate to see if it is a worthwhile upgrade in the future.  
The end of physical media is neigh
The end isn't near. LG was never selling many players to begin with. Most sales went to Panasonic and Sony. Those are still the top decently priced ones to get and they still sell plenty. I'm surprised LG didn't make this move sooner tbh.   
"Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better!
Ill be checking some of the links posted here. But basically, any product you use, should get an proper rinse after, in case any of the cleaning chemicals are left behind. You need to first use a tool that will clean it properly, then rinse. I use...

@12many  I totally agree and this is what I'm trying to accomplish! I put some temporary ones I had and they of course hum    
HT bypass -[ which RCA Interconnect
Thanks, Im in Canada, seems like they dont have that one in particular at the length I need. They have some others, but might actually come out slightly higher priced than BJC, I'll keep looking on amazon, but thanks for that one.   
Pre Amp suggestions for Sonus Faber Olympica III w/ x250.8
@ghdprentice yeah, I wish I could, AR is very expensive over here on the used market, but I will keep an eye out for it. I hope to move up to Amati one day.  
New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound?
I will be testing this soon on a Pass amp as well. So this thread is definitely interesting. What I can say is , Ive noticed quite a substantial benefit when I upgraded PC's for my streamer dac, Preamp and older Integrated Amp.  
Preamplifier sound Quality impact in home theatre bypass
Never really noticed a difference. Used to use it with moon, now use it with a Sudgen preamp. I would need to test it out, but the Sugden is on standby when HT bypass in in use.   
Verity Audio speaker manufacturer silent...
I wish I had concrete info, and better memory, but just recently, I forgot who I was speaking with, but they also told me as others have stated that they are done. I dismissed it because I thought maybe it was just a rumour , but I guess it seems ...
