Still have my carver tube pre amp and amp. Have an old turntable works well but the mid’s Are to warm and my denon sounds just as good. Never would have believed that. The tubes do have that nice warmth to them but when you get out a meter and look not hear (hearing goes so much as we age) the denon reproduces very well. Headphones in the 300 and up range are where to go for listening pleasure on a chair. We don’t spend enough money to shape the room for sound (wives hate these sound dampen items)
i tunes can get nasty if you have ripped music from other rippers and then added iTunes and did the search. I have had to redo it a few times to get the four copies of a song to go away. Found my networked backup drives more than once also. There is also one little check mark place to make the tunes lossless that is not check by default you need to hit before it does the search. That check mark changes things up so you don’t get optimized for an IPod device to fit 10k songs. I think iTunes adds a folder and if reran autofind makes another folder inside the iTunes folder causing several of the same songs to show up. Apple stuff works well for those who don’t need to do much but becomes harder and harder the more you want it to do for you. Jrivers is a nice player.
There is some newer music out that the kids like. I must be stuck pre 1999.
