Like many special interest forums, I would guess you get questions like this a lot, so I hope I don't come across as too annoying.

I love music. Love it. You all understand this, so I doubt I need to explain more. I used to listen to LPs quite a bit several years ago as a kid/teenager, and enjoyed them. Moving away from that, I feel my music consumption has become quite sterile, and have decided to get back into vinyl.

Tonight on PBS at 8 pm is Donizetti's La Fille du Regiment. Natalie Dessay is of course the main draw, but when this performance happened, the story was the tenor Juan Florez nailing the high-C 9 times in a single aria. The crowd went nuts and he was called for the encore (the first encore at the Met since 1994!) and he nailed it 9 more times.

OK,

Being a little reluctant to wade into

Hi all. After years of semi-crappy mix and match systems i'm contemplating a real beast to aid my music habit. I mostly listen to vinyl but i need a cd solution too. My budget is around 3000$ and here's what i was thinking of buying, any thoughts on this setup are more than welcome.

turntable: Rega P2
cartridge: Ortophon 2M
integrated amp: Rega Brio3
speakers: Dali IKON 6
cd player: Sony CDP-CX455 (not sure about quality, but i need a "jukebox" kinda thing)
headphones out: Rega Ear
headphones: AKG K240 (already own these)

thanks!

Thanks for watching.

Linn 2200 Vs Linn Charka Twin, which one is better?

Does the performance justify the price difference?

Thanks!

Hi all. I am looking to replace my beloved JBL LX22s. Can anyone suggest what could possibly come close to the sound I get from these? Thanks.
