Lyra Lydian Beta, Rega hum?

Best speakers in 2k-3k price point

TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog
Getting back to Ken's confusion. I am in the process of going through this. Thought about the DJ table. Seems there is only one guy who thinks it is a good idea. Looked at the Basis. Decided it was too much money for starting out. Looked at Music ...
