| What's Worth More on the Open Market - Your Records or Your Audio Gear LarryiIf I value LPs and CDs at $5 per item (probably optimistic), I come up with $35,000. That is a little bit more than the value of the midrange drivers in my speakers, so I am way into the gear side.@larryi LarryI’m not touching the midrange d... | |
| What's Worth More on the Open Market - Your Records or Your Audio Gear Glupson I do keep absolutely every record and CD I have ever had, but what is the point of it, I truly do not know.GlupsonTo understand me, is to understand that if I own something and "I know for sure" I will not use it again - it gets culled.... | |

| What's Worth More on the Open Market - Your Records or Your Audio Gear ^^^^makes sense. Last year I started giving thoughts to culling records I know now I have no interest in. The handful of local transactions (to avoid shipping) groups of 10 -25 lps are not worth mentioning. What I think is worth mentioning howev... | |

| INNER GROOVE DISTORTION AlmargHopefully you will then be able to find an amount of twist that results in minimal or no deflection at all positions on the record.@almarg Hi Al - there are not multiple twisting increments permitted with the design. It’s more like .....are ... | |
| INNER GROOVE DISTORTION Hi Joe I did watch Peter Lederman and experimented with adding some anti-skating with some good results. So did you try lowering the stylus in between the runout grooves. What happened? When the tech from Overture Audio { who have been great } com... |
