| Whats on your turntable tonight? In my just arrived pile is Kari Kirkland - Wild is the Wind. One of our music club members brought a really cool cover of Do It Again to play at our most recent meetup. She included a nice handwritten note on a postcard with my record. Who does... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Live music last night - Judy Collins. Age is starting to catch up to her (she's 82!) but her voice is strong and she had a lot of great stories and of course is still campaigning for peace. Listening to Bob Dylan - Highway 51 Revisited. I kno... | |

| The problem with streaming @big_greg, I didn’t say that it is easy. Obviously, you know quite the contrary! But as @jerryg123 said, good vinyl, given everything else set up well, "sounds way better through my system as do CDs." @dadork said he’s getting great hi res. I do... | |
| What made you change to a 6SN7 preamp? @atmasphere Ralph, I think you were reinforcing the point I was trying to make that it's not all about the tube? Interesting to hear the 6DJ8/6922 was intended for use in TVs. @hilde45 I don't have any experience with the Quicksilver preamp you ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Fleetwood Mac - Rumours. I had this in my discard file and decided to give it a US cleaning and a second chance. It sounds pretty good now! I have the 45 RPM release, but it has some issues and it's nice to be able to sit for 20 minutes or so a... | |
| The problem with streaming I know what you're saying. It's so much easier to paw through used records at the record store and try to read the matrix and look it up on Discogs on your phone and then read all the comments and ratings about that release to make sure you know ... | |
| Replace inner sleeves on used records? If they are beat up plain white sleeves, I throw them away. If they have lyrics, photos, or even ads from back in the day, I keep them. I may sell some or all of them and some collectors assign more value to them if they have the original inner ... | |
| What made you change to a 6SN7 preamp? I went the opposite direction. I went from a 6SN7 based preamp to a 6922 based preamp. I agree with many of the comments about the 6SN7 and happily rolled tubes in and out on a regular basis. After spending many hundreds of dollars on tubes, I ... | |
| Advice needed on MC cartridges I sold my VPI Classic 2 with a Classic 3 tonearm and dual-pivot to a friend. I was at his house last week and he recently acquired a Lyra Kleos and it sounded fantastic. Seems like a great combination. |
