| Whats on your turntable tonight? @6t5-gto I think Heartbeat City is a "must have" if you like the Cars even a little. They were at their creative peak and the production on that album is amazing. I have a few copies, and good copies seem to be relatively easy to find. The MFSL... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Cars - Heartbeat City Uber, I heard some Cars in the car and decided I needed to hear them on the turntable when I got home. That's how this selection was chosen. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Neil Young - Time Fades Away | |
| CD Player vs. music streaming My Bluesound Node 2 into my Auralic Vega sounds really good, but my turntables and CD player best it. I'd like to get a better sounding streamer, but everything I've looked at seems to be a downgrade from BlueOS in terms of usability and the vari... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Uber, I am fortunate, especially since I live in a relatively small town (about 50,000 population) and one of the best record stores in the region is here. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Very cool uber! The only stuff I see in the dollar bins at my record store are really beat up or titles you've never heard of. Their prices are quite reasonable for used records though, the best I've seen in the area and typically about 70-80% o... | |
| Breakdown of Turntable Performance A $50 AT95E cartridge on my Music Hall MMF 7.1 sounded better than a $800 Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood on my Music Hall MMF 2.2 table. Better feet, a more solid plinth, a detached motor, a better tonearm, better wiring... those things all matter. Wh... | |
| What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why? Klipsch KLF-30s with replacement mid and tweeter diaphragms from Bob Crites and also his crossover networks. I still have them, but they're stuck in my bedroom where they can't really sing like they should. My Legacy Audio Focus 20/20 (which I n... | |
| What's up with TMR Audio? It appears Mr. Bell wasn't clear as a bell in his communications. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? I just queued up The Pretender on Qobuz. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Jackson Browne - Running on Empty, Qobuz Hi-res, remastered.Man did that sound sweet! I'm not talking about the sound quality (which was great by the way), but what a great album. | |

| Measuring turntable speed @mijostyn I'd be curious to see how accurate it is compared to something more expensive. I paid full price for mine, all of $25 I think. I had a problem with mine a while after I bought it and they sent me another one immediately, no questions a... | |
| Need some guidance with music server and cd ripping. Foobar 2000 and an external hard drive which I make available on my network. Foobar is free, maybe $100 for a good 2TB drive and external enclosure (make sure it has a fan!). Get a second one for backup and use a free tool like syncback or synct... |
