| Music on Vinyl Commentary Yes indeed. Should travel bring you through Dallas, look me up. I have thousands of LP's, and promise to spin only the titles you want (at least for one evening :^). | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? For me, it's largely about the economics of digital versus analog, and in this regard the digital formats win. Absolutely, and there are thousands of titles on CD that will never be on LP. | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Well said. There is a cross-over point where spending less buys better music with digital, and more, better music with analog, at least for me.I agree. I just don't understand why those of us that bust our ass to make analog work get hammered by t... | |
| Is an IPOD hi-fi? FerrariEven here in the U.S. we have sweat shops, that should turn the stomachs of any of us. But these are faceless workers, not worthy of consideration, because we continue to support the goods manufactured by them. AgreeRemember there was a tim... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Zaiks:Let's just not get carried away from reality by all the rhetoric. No matter how much you want to expend on their playback, and no matter how much we might enjoy or fetishize them, records cannot faithfully transmit the sound of a mastertape.... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Albertporter...That depends on the definition of "better".Big opinions as always from Eldartford. This has become a multi thread, multi year experience with Dart seeking out LP forums to place his jabs. Those that have both formats at state of the... | |
| Music on Vinyl Commentary Cmo, I had that happen with two different digital review samples. A one box player that retailed for $10K and a twin box rig at $14K. I did not write a review on either I was so disappointed.I will say the new McCormack UDP-1 Deluxe at $4000.00 is... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? CD is better than it has ever been.LP Is better than it has ever been.Both formats taken to their limit, LP is better. I don't think there is any doubt about this. Ask those with EMM labs and Rockport or EMM labs and Walker. | |
| 100 Polyurethane from Walmart ? Etran, you're better off with high density fiberglass as sound absorber than most foam products. Both Owens Corning and John Mansfield make these panels in 4X8 feet and 1' to 6" thick. This high density fiberglass is what my room is covered in and... | |
| VTL MB-450 B+ Fuse Zaiks, Peter got the Ebay sellers name from me. Last October I bought 20 KTK3 fuses from Brooklyn Queens Electric for $45.00 including shipping.That's $2.25 per fuse. Yes, it's a lot less than $8.00 a pop. | |
| Is an IPOD hi-fi? Ferrari,I don't understand your hatred for Steve Jobs and Apple. I use their system and love it. How about you compare Apple to Bill Gates monstrous money making machine, and realize Apple is the bit player.Did you stop to consider that many produ... | |
| Music on Vinyl Commentary Beyond the Missouri Sky is not on LP, I've looked for it ever since I bought the CD. I agree with you, I wish it were on vinyl.Since you love Jazz, search out the "Closeness Duets" LP with Charlie Haden teamed with pianist Keith Jarrett, altoist O... | |
| Is an IPOD hi-fi? Your correct, Seandtaylor99.However, since that does not exist there is always the internet. With a bit of searching we can listen to samples or complete songs of new artists, which helps make up for where FM has gone. My favorites are All Music G... | |
| Joni Mitchell Blue - Wow help me Agoners Dodgealum, I received my copy yesterday but have not cleaned or played it yet. I'll bet this limited pressing will sell out fairly quickly if it's as good as you say. | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Paladin,I admit to being a vinyl junkie - with 7 turntables, 11 cartridges & 8 arms along with 35K albums & 15K 45's.I don't know how you have any room with that many LP's on hand !Tell you what, I'm willing to come to your home and carry ... |
