Vinyl goes green!
@yogiboy  Thanks for sharing.  I wish them all the best, but as we all know, they have a long way to go before that have a shelf stable product that will sound as good as vinyl and last as long as vinyl.  
Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West?
Just started streaming a couple of months ago. Bought a New Node and it wasn’t right and returned it. Got a second one and it works well. Last week had some issues with BluOS and the customer service was pretty good. They responded fairly quickly ...

@hilde45  Just checked, 2 out of three have been re listed and the other I guess expired , but I’m not sure. I remember doing a search for an OPPO 205 and sellers asking $6500.00 for them. I expect those listings are still there as well.😁  
What are songs where people or instruments sound closer to you?
@stevewharton  I have about ten RHCP albums, but not that one. Will stream it later. Thanks. BTW, I’ve seen them live and they put on a great show! JD

@blisshifi  There are a few different versions  of Ain’t No Use. Any one in particular I should try? I’m listening to the one from “The Divine One”. Thanks

@mwinkc  The only Grover I have on vinyl is in sad shape so I turned to the streamer and I’d forgotten how much I liked his stuff. I have a TON of JT, but of course I don’t have that album, so again back to the streamer!  I do have Sade and mos...
