| Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player? @mcmvmx: I’m no expert, but when I wrote that, I was referring to the noted (here noted) superior sound of vinyl versus that of CD’s. The latter are recorded at 16/44.1, while I am recording the vinyl at a conversion rate of 24/96. So, if you s... | |
| Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player? I have another perspective on this. I read here how transcendent the sound of vinyl can be — who doesn’t want to experience that? But I had low expectations for my old vinyl, still recalling all the crackles and pops. I thus didn’t want to inve... | |
| Your vote for greatest (covers) album Joan Osborne, “How Sweet It Is”Mandy Moore, “Coverage” | |
| Don't like vinyl @mazian: 30 minutes? What does that process entail for you? It doesn’t take me 30 minutes to clean a record. | |
| Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles? I think most forums have a continuum of people with various talents and abilities. We come together to benefit from, to be amused, or just to kill time. There are people here, like me, who are just starting out in this hobby and have very little... | |

| What was your most disappointing album purchase? Geoff, admit it, you never had to take anything to get stoned, you were born that way. 🥴 | |
| Why no Virtual System pics?? I posted more pics of my system today. They aren’t the quality I was hoping for, as when I got my camera to take pics, the batteries were dead. Worse, I had a very difficult time getting the battery compartment open — I had left batteries in the... | |
| Hand me down audio equip- upgrade advice @rillerr, I wasn’t familiar with some of that equipment and went to look it up. That was a very nice gesture for him to give you equipment of that quality and value. I wish I knew people like that — any boss, friend or acquaintance I have had w... | |

| What was your most disappointing album purchase? pgaulke60, someone will want them and be proud of them! 🙄 | |
| What was your most disappointing album purchase? Don’t get me wrong . . I love Joan Osborne too. It’s just after her debut album the others I have heard have been spotty. Have any of you listened to “The Flaming Lips”? They might appeal most to teens, but from what I have heard of them they ... | |
| WHat did Audiophiles hear during Tape deck era? @geoffkait, That link is for real?! Hundreds of dollars for a pre-recorded cassette? That is crazy!!! | |
| What was your most disappointing album purchase? @wturkey, Totally agree with you regarding those two Paula Cole albums.One of the old records I was cleaning and listening to today was, “Its a Beautiful Day, Live at Carnegie Hall.” I could blame it on the recording, because the sound was weak.
