| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) @gochurchgoI would seriously look at the Hegel H160 then. By no means is its’ DAC a slouch, I just prefer the PS Audio. For Apple Music, the Hegel will get the job done, and sound great. If you're able to connect an ethernet cable to the Hegel, y... | |

| Good Direct Drives @bur70n Congratulations on the new table. I always hear great things about Rega. I was going to go for the RP8, before I settled on the 1210GR. | |

| Ortofon 2M Red and Denon 110 Is there a big difference in sound quality?? I used to have a Pro-Ject Debut with a 2M Red and replaced it with the Denon DL-110. Huge improvement. Price/performance of the Denon is superb.Lot's of other choices though as @chakster mentioned.Good luck. | |
