More tape decks there this year than normal?

Please share your experience. Thanks!

Yeah you acquire some various headshells and carts based on pairing the specs. Most are purchased individually. Once those are mounted/setup correctly, you just swap the headshell out based on your cart preference for the day. I do it all the time and it takes about 2 mins to rebalance the...

I didn't realize the GR2 had a Mg tonearm. It's the best bang for the buck with easy cart swapping flexibility. The Rega would be a close 2nd with belt drive and a little more cumbersome setup. Depends on what sound you like, which is hard to recommend to anyone.

Picked this Rogue RP-9 preamp up used for about 50% of new price. Insane deal with very low hours. My ears are still adjusting to the new sound. It's changed the tone of the system completely. Extremely clean and precise with the 6H30P tubes. I've traded off a lot of the tubey goodness from the...

Works on my N130 and sounds pretty great too!

New DSD playback update rolled out for older Node players. https://support.bluos.net/hc/en-us/articles/30279703969559-BluOS-4-8-21

Those are wicked looking. Would love to hear something like it one day.

Klipsch makes/sells some good outdoor speakers.
