I stumbled upon Lone Crow Audio a few weeks ago on a classified web site and inquired about the Hifi Rose streamer that John had available. I had a couple of email exchanges with John and inquired whether I would hear a difference with the Hifi Rose over my current streaming device. John confirmed that I would hear a difference knowing the audio equipment I had.

The tape deck was unfixable it turns out, but they offered me one of their used units for sale. Both items sound and function perfectly! Additionally, the younger employee in the pony tail (i believe his name is Lucas) was super attentive to my concerns about the record player. Can't thank and recommend...
