Daughter needs something better than iPhone for music. Help!
Thanks all for the education and suggestions.  I like that killer feature on the Peachtree Nova 150!

So is the phone using Bluetooth to connect to the speaker or is there a jack that connects the analog signal, or is it a digital signal that goes from the phone to an outboard dac?  I really don't know how this works

What is your listening chair?
Glad I don't work for Apple.  I would rather it be my choice.  I agree that we sit too much.  My desk raises and lowers.  Exercise regularly if you can.  It can stave off hypertension and type 2 diabetes, and a myriad of other problems.+1  Stressl... 
Who has made a move and did you let movers take Hi-Fi
Moved 2000 miles and let movers take electronics and speakers.  My LP12 drove with me and my geriatric Labrador.  Some things just can't be trusted in unknown hands.

@uberwaltz +1 :-) 
Would like to hear from Ayre owners especially those who dared to venture.

Magical Marantz 22## receivers

I should add that I am using an Ayre P-5x phono pre at the highest gain setting to accommodate my low output m/c cartridge @ 0.2 mV.  While my DAC is totally silent, I can hear some hiss from the phono when my ear is less than a foot away from the...

Thank you both for your replies.  I should have included VAC too.  I am also running a Codex.  This may be my last pre (really!) so reliability is a big factor. 
What's Your Take on This ?
That was first published in 1987 and the other "bargains" mentioned, i.e. B&K, Shure, Superphon, were truly really good for the money.  I owned two of those pieces. 
Let's talk power cords
@atmosphere-thinking more about the diode effect analogous to a fuzz pedal, what if the effect was much more subtle than a fuzz pedal yet still perceptible to the human auditory system?  Possible? Could it be measured, and if not with current tech... 
Neil Young - Guitarist
+1 dodgealum, though I would add that I agree with a comment I read on another forum that his guitar sounded out of tune on Cellar Door as compared with Massey Hall.   
need a 75 ohm digital coax with a 90 degree right angle plug vs RCA cable
Another possibility is Blue Jeans Cable.  They build and ship the usually in 24hrs.  Tell them you want 75 ohm connectors.  You can also terminate with BNC connectors and add 75 ohm RCA adapters.
