| Record for vinyl. Record Store Day is a joke and shouldn’t count, but sure makes up a portion of this “growth”. The majority of vinyl purchases are by people playing with a novelty. That article is trash. | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? I have very low mileage MK3. JP fully serviced. New chip. No Krebs! FR66s arm. Couldn't be more happy and would def concur with the term "endgame". Don't sell it! | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? @chakster CDs are still very popular in Japan! | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? As someone who runs a record label I can tell you that the “vinyl resurgence” is propaganda. It’s a niche and it’s never really coming back. That said I’m about 35 years and 10k records deep, won’t be jumping ship anytime soon. | |
| Is louder better? @noromance If you’re still hearing OK after the Jools Holland piano wank at top volume, things are going to be just fine! | |
| Jazz listening: Is it about the music? Or is it about the sound? @jjss49 +1 ECM / Manfred EicherBut also if you’re looking to bridge jazz into anything you could focus on later Jazz Funk records by Byrd, Corea, McCann, Hancock without having to get too serious with Fusion. | |
| What do you have on order RIGHT NOW. 150lbs of Panzerholz for a plinth coming from Canada arriving tomorrow! | |
| Interconnects under floor? @lancelock Good plan! I'd do something similar if I wasn't on 100 year old hardwood floors. | |
| Interconnects under floor? I do have mice. They are bastards. Been waking up to lots of poop pellets, they basically have a rodent scat party institute the middle of the night... but exterminator comes this week. I did sheath the cables with garden flex tubing (p[roper cond... | |
| TT Hum @tomic601 Yes, leg, thanks Jim, pardon my layman’s terms! But now that I think of it, not sure it has to do with what leg. A month ago my front end and amps were on 2 separate lines on the same leg at the panel, but now since moving my front end a... | |
| Interconnects under floor? Sorted. Works perfect. Used these both ends, ran the XLRs under the house along floor joists using this very manageable conduit zip tied every couple feet for extra closure. Total cost about $20, no new cables. | |
| TT Hum Problem found. A dimmer on the other side of the house. It’s not on the same line as the whole system is on its own dedicated. I guess the dimmer causes a ground loop since they’re on the same bar at the box? When on: buzz. When off: dead quiet. A... | |

| Looking for a new phono preamp Way too late to comment here, but seeing the early suggestion for the RCM... and have to add... the Sensor II is wonderful. I actually preferred it to the Herron. The only MC I used was Zu DL103 but it felt like cleaning dust out of the crevices o... | |
| Preamp for Herron VTPH-2A Users have their mantras suggest their ideas (many invaluable) even if they’re not for you. I always appreciate input from all sides, even if I’m invested in the opposite direction. If not, then best to ignore the comments you find irrelevant, rat... |
