    Buying advice Turntable without snake oil

    Have a Project Debut Carbon Evo paired with a used Musical Fidelity V90 LPS phono stage. Biggest upgrade was getting a cheap stylus force gauge and upgrading the cartridge to an Audio-Technica VM540ML, which solved the inner groove distortion problem. Happy with the sound now for around 900 Euro.

    (Europe) Master Deals Thread on Audio Product Sales

    They only had a few items on Amazon.nl in April last year. They listed the 8300CDQ for €890 while other shops asked 1200>1500 for it. But since they are on the Audiolab distributors list I took the plunge and it turned out okay.

    How can I improve on mid 80s CD recordings?

    Could be those are pre-emphasized CDs and you're current setup doesn't deal with that, which causes them to sound very bright.

    Best software options for linux music streaming server that can also play local headless?

    Maybe you should give JRiver Media Center a try. I run it on a Pi 4 with Raspberry Pi OS to serve Apple Lossless to my Apple stuff, DLNA devices and a Pi running Moode, controlled with their JRemote app. It also has video capabilities but I never tried those.
