Welcome to Hell, here's your 8-Track
Haven't posted in some time, but had to respond to this post. I have to disagree to the bobbergman post. My 4 track was superior in many ways to my Panasonic 8 track player/recorder. Having only 4 bands on a tape the same width as an 8 track, ther... 
Is it safe to use a higher amperage rating fuse?
I'm confused (get it)? What am I missing?OP stated 250mA fuse (1/4 of 1A)Suggested a 5A (20 times the mfg suggested current and still blows?)Did I miss something or is something really wrong here? I'm not an electrician, but I did stay at a Holida... 
Anyone (everyone) care to throw a dart?
Thanks MC

OK, there's the sarcasm (what a surprise it's your MC) now c'mon how about some righteous indignation... 
Anyone (everyone) care to throw a dart?
Thank you @kingbr, I was trying to inject a bit of levity into a discussion here, that's the reason I didn't specify an amp or speakers or cable. Thought maybe somebody would share an experience they themselves had or thoughts along the same line ... 
Anyone (everyone) care to throw a dart?
Dear Doctors in the house, my hearing is quite good actually. Was once asked during a hearing test if I could hear dog whistles. The gist of the question was does a $4K HDMI cable for example justify an improvement in sound over a $1K cable to the... 
My best retort to those that think we listen to our stereos more than the music
Oddly in agreement. I thought the analogy was spot on. AB 
Sellers: When do you drop your price?
Bravo. Good for you. What you pay for something has no bearing on it's worth today. eBay has a great free option in left column 'Sold' and 'Completed Listings'. I don't sell much equipment but I do sell alot of vinyl. It's surprising sometimes. So... 
Is a Ortofon Black a step down from a Pickering XSV 3000
I balked at first to the Ortofon 2M Black. After purchasing one, and after the 'break in' period I find it mesmerizing. Purchased a second and a third to have on hand just in case. The Shibata stylus in this engine is (in my opinion) the finest MM...

Oh, by the way, I still have my Sansui 350 and Pioneer PL-A25 with the top of the line Lafayette speakers. Should I consider trading these in too??? What sounds best to you folks? Thanks again...

Went to Motor Trend and Road & Track to check out which Porsche fits me best and was referred here. Thank dog. My Karmann Ghia is a '67 and only has 400,000+ miles, but figured what the heck, I do finally deserve a Porsche! Huh? What?? 
For all you Vinyl lovers!
Thanks for the post yogiboy, it helps to affirm my obsession.  AB 
Don't get it, why anyone would ask others "what sounds best"?
P.S. ohm, from reading your post, we have some similarities. Your opinion could matter to me now I know a few of your preferences. ;) 
Don't get it, why anyone would ask others "what sounds best"?
I must admit, MC usually has a good answer for most things, somehow quite adept at going other places too. ohm, you in addition are quite good at the conundrums. It is easier for me to listen, but alas it's still with my ears. Rarely does the post... 
VINYL SUCKS!
Jack, real leather smells better but in the car it too gets hot (in AZ). Cloth is best!
