| Brand New Warped albums! I buy records from multiple sources and have seen a number of warped records. I had two copies of Amused to Death show up warped before I finally got a flat one. I had a seller tell me this when both discs of my Weezer red album showed up warped... | |

| FM vs. HD RADIO.... anybody think FM is better? I don't know that I've ever listened to a "good" HD receiver, but my Onkyo T9090 II connected to a roof antenna sounds really good on certain stations, close to CD quality. All of the HD radio I've heard had a very "digital" sound to it. I live ... | |
| Wireless to Ethernet Adapter for DAC I can't say it's as good as a wired connection, but I've been perfectly happy using wireless access points and repeaters for streaming all over my house. The WAPs are in my living room and my home office, the repeater is in my bedroom, which is o... | |

| Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless I have not had any issues with my BlueSound Node 2 dropping out, or any of my other streaming devices (Roku, Oppo, Marantz, etc.) since I upgraded my router a little over a year ago. I spent about $200 on the router and that fixed a lot of issues... | |
| Vinyl Sleeves and Jackets I put the vinyl in a poly lined sleeve, then place the vinyl outside of and behind the cover with the outer sleeve and vinyl in a 3 mil poly sleeve. This eliminates having to slide the record in and out of the outer sleeve and (my thoughts at lea... | |
| Looking for mc cartridge in $1000-$1500 range. When I saw the title of your post I was going to suggest you save yourself a little money and get a Hana SL. I have one and am very pleased with it. It comes really close to the $2,000 Van Den Hul MC Two I have on my main turntable. I love my H... | |

Some are "warm", some are "neutral", some are "bright", some are more detailed, etc. etc. etc.At the level your system is currently at those differe... | |
| Suggestion To The Moderators To Rid This Site Of Spam The SPAM seems to get cleaned up pretty quickly and there's not an overwhelming amount of it. I just ignore it. The proposed "solution" seems like more of a problem than the SPAM itself. | |
| Upgrade from my internal Primaluna phono stage... Audio Alchemy PPA-1? What else? First of all, I have not heard the Primaluna phono stage, so can't say whether an external stage would be "better", however this is from Primaluna's web site:"Built in phonostages are “throw in” and are rarely good quality because manufacturers a... | |
