| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One Goodfellas. Can't have too much Stones in a soundtrack. | |
| MM, MC, or MI cartridge I don't think this piont has been made yet but there's also the consideration the stylus cannot be replaced on a MC cartridge. Damage the stylus and you're buying a whole new cartridge. I know it's only money..................🤣 | |
| How did you get started in this hobby My first "system" was a crystal radio with ear plug, back in 1965. I went to sleep every night with that plug in my ear. For me, that journey has never stopped. It happens, not that it matters, that I now have a very high end system. None of m... | |
| Isn't it really about quality of recording? Great system, lousy recording? You can't polish a turd. Don't care how hard you try. | |
| What is the best 2 channel listening chair? I need head support but get the idea of not having the chair back come up past your shoulders. Does anyone make a chair with a "skinny" headrest? | |

| Where do you buy your vinyl? Can't go wrong with Amazon. Their no hassle return policy is so important. The number of LP's I have had to return is crazy. Regardless of the manufacturer, the return rate is running 20%. At the cost of LPs today, only perfection is acceptable. | |
| I'm at the pearly gates and they tell me I can only bring in one jazz cd I get all the votes for Kind of Blue. Groundbreaking record and all that, but honestly, it's not my favorite Miles. To my ears he took a giant leap forward with In A Silent Way, and I find that LP much more interesting to listen to. Having said... | |
| Scratch - The Crusaders I also dicovered the Crusaders with the Chain Reaction LP. Have a dozen or more of thier discs in my collection. Particulary fond of the opening tract on Rural Renewal (2003, Eric Clapton on acoustic guitar). Was just listening to Larry Carlton... | |
