Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be!
This comment reminds me of the Pac Man machine at the pizza parlor next to Sound Advice in Gainesville.  We would zap the machine  with a D'Stat device for free games, and played free for hours at a time.  I still wonder what kept us from frying g... 
Speakers good for close to wall placement
This reminds me of something.  Among my nearly half century of owning B&W's, I had tall electrostatic panels speakers for 25 years.  Instead of placing them near a wall, I removed a section of the wall and used the speakers in two different ro... 
Opening Record Store
fromunda   Seriously?  Have you considered telling us whether the store is at Times square, vs Wartburg, Tennessee?  I think the price might vary. 
Audiophile demographics?
I wonder how many of us followed our same sex parent into our hobbies, thirst for technical knowledge, and magazines to read.  How much does a male vs female school curriculum influence our lust for science and solutions?  And, since it was mentio... 
Where are the cheap home streamers?
I currently have a Megaboom on my bicycle and use Pandora with my Bluetooth phone.  The selection of music is mostly crap, and very redundant.  I had Tidal but did not have this or any other streamer except a computer.  Are the selections better o...

Where are the cheap home streamers?
spacecadet65:  I am still deciding, but my understanding is that Bluetooth is noticeably inferior to a higher bit rate streamer.  Ethernet is supposed to be the best.   jdt1  By cheap, I mean not thousands just to see if I like it at all.  So far,...

Whoops.  Misplaced fingers.

The turntable on display at the entrance is clearly marked $25,000.  It is really interesting looking and probably excellent.  On the other Jane, a stock Linn at my local dealer seems to be a plain Jame Ariston rip off, made famous as the Linn Son...

chackstera:  Apparenty, I was not clear enough.  The thousand dollar plus ones are not reissues, but new music. AA does carry both.  However, I know what sounds a lot better than a $1500-2500 LP:  A CD and a trip to France... after the vaccines is...

I believe these very expensive records are mostly new recordings, if not all of them.  I don't know if cheaper versions exist, but when we bought our Sheffield D to D LP's, no one told us that secret tapes were being stored  to use much later for ... 
Where are the cheap home streamers?
Some mentioned that PS Audio, etc have CD players that put the music into a memory and then stream it.  Yes they do.  That memory is called a buffer, and was first used, if not invented, for Sony's Discman, to make a CD that skips when you run fro...

They are not on their site, but in a back room when you veer left entering the store.  The room is open, so they are visible from the entry showroom. Maybe Chris could send you a list.  A couple are around his desk area.  Call Him.  (561) 478-3100 
Audiophile demographics?
tony1954:  You ask, "What are the built in things" that attract guys.  I could be wrong.  It could all be socialization, but some guys do seem to be innately attracted to girl parts.  Of course, it is impossible to do double blind studies to prove... 
Audiophile demographics?
drblarney1:  Yes, I agree, mostly.  We inherit things genetically, but mostly physical attributes.  We also inherit socially, from those we are around.  We rarely learn behaviors, and especially not identities,  on out own.  Even kids who are mist...
