Vinyl in the News
I agree with Inna. They can take those phones and stick them where the sun doesn't shine. I use my cell phone for calls only. It's an antique one at the ripe old age of six years. I don't need it to do all of that crap they're stuffing down our th... 
LP records: Time to... oi... buy another crate...?
Here I thought it was illegal to get rid of any lp's. Thought I'd be shunned by the audiophile world for even thinking of doing it... Hey Mikey, there's that odd fellow who removed part of his vinyl collection....Seriously, I haven't listened to t...

Do you listen alone or with guest s
I listen alone. When my wife is home, I'll turn the volume down to her liking. She will on occasion ask who is playing, or take a stab at naming the artist, but mostly tolerates my hobby. She will ask me to pick out music for her drives to and fro...

Music that really stirs your emotions
12-02 Should read "The Boy Who Wouldn't Hoe Corn" 
If upgrades were no longer possible would you be
