She tells me that to keep the cars coming her way, she must be 90% positive, 10% negative. It is a 'formula' business. She gets to review about 60 cars a year and is a victim of 'cree... | |
| Do you think LP needs break-in to sound its best? I ship all my new vinyl to Jordan so they can be washed in the River Jordan. Better than holy water. I understand that a new firm is forming that will sell Kosher records. I will be the first to buy. Crazy hobby. | |
