| I got to get me some of this tiny vinyl. I have a bunch of old 10" Vinyl mono LP's but ignore 45 rpm singles and don't need another format. | |

| A Low Cost Pleasant Sounding Used CD Player? I had an old ca. 1986 Sony ES 5-Disc change that got a lot of play until it finally dies around 2003. It was hefty at about 24 pounds, and read discs very well. Unfortunately, it only had a toslink digital out. I remedied that by inserting a $200 ... | |
| Why so many B & W Speakers on the used market? @mark200 I used to say the same thing about my 6 ft. Martin Logan boxes, but I was thinner then! | |
| Why so many B & W Speakers on the used market? Thanks for all of the responses. I thought maybe I hadn't heard about a decline in quality, as I wouldn't have expected. I agree with many of the replies as one brand with a huge amount out there will commonly have more available in the resale mar... | |
| Any modern rock recommendations? with the old bands you mentioned you may have missed a bunch of quality music in that same 1970's-1990's era. Since streaming became popular I have re-discovered several artists that I had left behind. I'm now 65 years old and have an even grater ... | |
| Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms? I try to unplug it all now. I have lived in my house now 36 years and used to work outside the home. Ground surges from lightning are a real issue here in the mountains of Colorado. Twice I have had equipment fried by lightning. First, one channel... | |
| Potential relief for tinnitus? guscreek Yes, the hearing aids have helped with most of my issues, but as far as tinnitus goes, it will always be there. The hearing aids help to receive a better signal that is then transmitted to the brain, creating an override. When I'm in tota... | |
| How many times can u visit a hifi store before it annoys the store if u plan on a purchase Build a close customer/salesperson relationship and they won't care how often you go back. I had this in my dealer decades ago (back when customer service wasn't an exception). and was allowed to listen to systems & components costing two to f... | |
| Moving to separates first off find a high end dealer that can "loan" you a few amp's to try in your system. I didn't see where you mentioned your budget, nor what you wish to improve. Here on Audiogon, The Music Room, etc. you can find a variety of used power amplifi... | |
| Potential relief for tinnitus? If you suffer from tinnitus, do yourself a favor and see an Audiologist. I have suffered from it for over a decade. Two years ago I had my ears checked and was diagnosed with over 40% hearing loss. Naturally this was in the higher frequency spectr... | |
| Entry Level Tube Integrated Amps I like what DeKay said. You obviously have efficient speakers. Years ago I fell in love with the sound of Audio Research tube amps in combo with Martin-Logan ReQuest ES Hybrid speakers (larger than my Sequel II's) but could never swing the bucks f... | |
| My All Time Christmas Song "Carol of the Bells", especially the jazz combo version by David Benoit. Also "Please Come Home for Christmas" by Charles Brown. I have his original vinyl stereo LP. It was famously redone by Eagles, but lost it's bluesy vibe. | |
| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? Very melodic jazz/blues artist that I love is Gene Harris. He was a fantastic pianist with his own style and his Quartet recordings often had Ray Brown on bass and Jeff Hamilton on drums. He also recorded several Big Band albums in the style of Co... | |
| Amplifier recommendation a step up from the Acurus line is Aragon. Both were made by Mondial back in their original days.I had a wonderful Aragon 4004 (with 24K Pre-amp that I still own). I bought it new for ~$1,800 in early 1990's. Lot's of dual power supplies and bass s... |
