Advice for a noob at turntables.
In the OP's shoes, I'd go for something like this: http://www.analogplanet.com/content/tads-andrew-jones-designs-superb-sounding-budget-speakers-pioneer I'd get the floorstanding speakers, skip the Pioneer amplifier, and buy a receiver (with a phono stage) that would allow easy integration of...- Kevin Doyle

Advice for a noob at turntables.
Pipsy, two thoughts: 1. I'm not sure if the Sony's built in preamp can be turned off, so you may have to use it with whatever you use for amplification. In any event, you will need a receiver/integrated amplifier and speakers. And it might be worthwhile to get one with a phonostage built in...- Kevin Doyle

Sonos / the best mousetrap?
Sonos rules. I went from just trying one, after Squeezebox stopped Touch production, to having 3 connects around the house, and a Sonos 5 in the bedroom. The UI trounces anything else I'd used.- Kevin Doyle

Alright, someone is going to revoke my audiophile card for this....
I haven't heard them but became interested when I'd heard that they were developed leveraging the research that had been done in developing the waveguides for the M2. Considering both the 5" and 8" versions have numerous 5 star reviews on every site I see them being sold, I'd say they're a...- Kevin Doyle

The best and worst at rmaf 2012

Recommended USB to SPDIF converters for Metrum Octave - Audiophilleo/JKSPDIF Mk III?
Thanks, John. I plan to get all my obsessing out of the way now, because I don't want to do it after I decide and am living with the product. I'd read Kyrill's posts on JPLAY, BTW, and on another forum. I'm much less hardcore than him. :) Here's another one you've probably seen. Not a... -

Are low-priced cables a scam?
That's good to hear. I have a pair of Anti Cables arriving on Monday. I've been using Audioquest Type 4 with my Vandersteen 2ce Sig II's, and am curious to hear some differences. I'd been considering a full round of cable auditions in the $5-600 range, but this came up for sale used on...- Kevin Doyle
