Music that really stirs your emotions
"The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Corn", Allison Krause and Union Station, off the "New Favorite" release. I don't know what it is about it that gets me going. Great vocals with great guitar. It just touches me deeply. 
If you could only keep 5 Lp vinyl which ones
None. After listening to them over and over I would begin to dislike them. Best to have all or none. 
The best of Goodwill...
My wife and I have a box that when filled goes to Goodwill. There are many nice things in that box, and it goes frequently. I'm not one to pass up a bargain when one presents itself. 
What Chores do Audiophiles Hate?
Cleaning the oven. 
The best of Goodwill...
One store had someones whole collection of excellent quality lp's. The guy ahead of me got there first, so his shopping cart had many more than mine, but mine had quite a few. We're talking a couple hundred. Purchased so much vintage electronics I... 
I am openning a shop. What equipment should I sell

Opinions - The Absolute Sound
Today I received a final notice for a bargain renewal price. The deal was $63 for 3 years, $48 for 2 years, or $32 for one year. It's in the trash. 
Music to die to
Something that would put me to sleep. 
light source for tt setup
I finally found a place that has the light I have been using when I cue my turntable at night when the lights are low. Search for Miles Kimball online, item# 317231. Uses 3 AAA batteries with LED's. I'm not familiar with mark up tags, otherwise I ... 
How Many Turntables Have You Owned
Lost count. Between 20-30. 
Best way to categorize your Vinyl collection
Mine are a jumbled lot. I only have around a thousand, so I can guess fairly close as to the location. But during the search I'll find many I have overlooked and they will get playtime. Had they been organised, I feel they would still be in that n... 
whats the biggest mistake you made?
Getting repair work done on a mid-fi piece at a hi-end store. Salesman placed me in front of the best system there. Should never have walked in there. 
Audiophiles are older than dirt
Remember going to the corner drug store to get a 10 cent cherry coke or cherry phosphate. Even tried a chocolate coke, but didn't like it.
