| Cost effective Schumann Resonator I still have mine sitting unused. I paid $75 for it early this year. Think I'll list it "tweaks". | |
| Krell Evo 302 or Burmester 956 mk2 Cool. | |
| Rockwell: audiophile term "just like a pedophile" Why waste time with this? | |
| Greatest song titles.. Not a title, but the previous entry reminded me of the first time I heard "New Age Girl", by Dead Eye Dick. She won't eat meat, but .... I laughed. | |
| Returned to Albums/ Vinyl after 30 years Thanks Yogiboy. Did that and spent some money. | |

| The ultimate record collector? I don't understand how taking these "off our hands" does anybody any favor, besides the seller. | |
| Grado cartridge for vintage setup? Just had my Sonata re-tipped by Soundsmith with the ruby cantilever/tip $250 option. It sounds better than an original IMO. More bottom end, same excellent mid/vocals. | |
| Speaker grills On. I think they look better. The sound difference is negligible. | |
| Herbie Hancock best recordings He won a Grammy with "The River". I Like! | |
| Is computer audio a bust? OK, I'm a CA idiot. What would be the least expensive route for a guy like me to take to have very good CA without using USB? ballpark...See my system page. I'd use my ASUS X551C notebook. | |
| CSNY 1974 ..... pretty perfect Saw this thread and pulled out the old 4 Way Street double lp and listened to all 4 sides. Haven't played this in many years. Thanks. |
