| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) I have great respect for John Atkinson. However, my takeaway from the review is that the speakers will sound bright in most rooms. [Though Atkinson's conclusions say otherwise, reading between the lines of the reviews somewhat contradicts the conc... | |

| Heist/ crime songs @reubent - absolutely - one of BOC's best songs. Separately, Lawers, guns, and money by Warren Zevon Breaking the Law by Judas Priest | |
| Heist/ crime songs And, actually, Bank Robber by the Clash as well. | |

| Should I buy an SME 30/12A for 15K? @OP - I previously owned a 20/12a and replaced it with a Technics SL 1200GAE, keeping the same cartridge. I partly did it as an interim step to fund an upgrade to my digital system. However, the SME was not hands down better than the Technics. I ... | |

| RIP Glenn Croft @ noromance, i've never been a particular fan of 84s myself. I love them in a Vox AC 30. But for the same reason, I'm less fond of them in hi fi amplifiers! | |
| Why are so many people spending so much money to build “perfect” streaming system? Back to the question of why are people spending money (or "so much money" in the words of the OP) on streaming.

| End Game Turntable suggestions Your budget might stretch to a pre owned Clearaudio Innovation plus arm (arm choice dependent on budget). The standard PSU is just a wall wart which would leave the option of upgrading to the Professional 24v supply if you move to Europe. | |
| High-end-turntables Hello folks. I can tell you categorically that High End Turntables is not located in Ireland. The address terrestrial address they give is for short term serviced offices located in the centre of Dublin city and the rental company have confirmed t... | |
| Cartridge Recommendations for SME V Arm @clearthinker - absoltutely. VdH cartridges' low tracking weight makes them long lived anyway and AJ's retip/rebuilds are tremendous value for money. @retiredfarmer - how do you define "fun to listen to" with specific reference to the Glider v th... | |
| Cartridge Recommendations for SME V Arm A Van den Hul Frog would suit your musical tastes very well. From looking at the specs, the PH3 has gain of 54db, so you would probably need the HO high output version of the Frog. | |
| Why is everyone so down on MQA? MQA sounds processed - no surprise there as that's what it is - heavily processed at that. As multiple posters above have said, in an era when there is no problem streaming high sample rate / word length files, MQA is obsolete. That's along with... |
