It Also Doubles As An Apple Peeler.

It Also Doubles As An Apple Peeler.
I owned the original model. I remember it had prodigious bass, combined with lackluster high frequency response. It had difficulty with anything less than a perfect LP, mistracking even slightly off center or warped records due to it's high horizo... 
Review: Record Research Lab Shine Ola CD\DVD\SACD cleaner Tweak
Eric, what about the Record Research LP cleaner you took home last night from our music session? Have you tried it on those recently acquired classical LP's? 
Vinyl, should I take the plunge?
That is a great article (re:)http://www.generubinaudio.com/articls.html#parenting I was unaware of it before this evening but agree with every word !My son was allowed to handle EVERYTHING in the house, including knives, my stereo, even my fragile... 
What tattoo to get next?
Reminds me of the old cartoon. Guy looking at his arm where the artist has just finished a large script tatoo, "Born Too Loose."Maybe better off writing it down? 
Can my attic work as a listening room??
Even though it is an expensive colonial home, there is no place where I can put all the audio gear without Marital discord or childrens prying hands. The unfinished basement could be used but I hate artificial lighting an potential for dampness.No...

Purist Audio & Stereophile
I can tell you that one Absolute Sound reviewer uses Dominus exclusively on his own system and a ex Fi Mag guy uses only Dominus. As for Stereophile? I don't know.Ever see a sports star come on television and tell you how great McDonalds or KFC is... 
Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe?
Barry, it's getting to where your not discussing much of anything. I was supportive of your posts at Audiogon, but if none of them say anything then why are you here?You never even answered my question about the Bright Star bases. Are you afraid t...
