Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K
Agree with "SHKong" the VA / dc10Audio Berlin R’s are simply superb speakers for all types of acoustic music when driven by either Tube or SS amplification. I’ve had them for several years, and have found very few speakers can match them, especial... 
What albums, in your opinion, sound unquestionably better on Vinyl rather than Digital?
I've always understood that the analog recordings on vinyl and tape are 100% of the signal, subject only to the limitiations in quality of the recording equipment, mastering, and pressing of the recordings.  While digital recordings are only a sam...
