Which artists do you just NOW get?
I always wondered why all the followers of Bob Dylan.I've listened to him 'somewhat' but not seriously until recently.Im still undecided but I do enjoy my SACD 'Blonde On Blonde' very much and am trying very hard to get into my 2 Sundazed mono pre... 
DSOTM Shootout Idea: Any Interest?
I'll bet you 3 bong hits of black Lebanese hash the Japanese pro-use pressing will win.  
Can I nominate Sean please ?

Can I nominate Sean please ?

Vinyl pressing mistakes

What can $300 do?
try to find some Paradigm 20's V-1should be avaliable for ~$400 used.Then build some stands with you bud.try some concrete blocks stacked to the proper height.I think you will need 24" to bring the 20's up to ear level.So you should only need 2 bl...

Remove spring from RB300

Remove spring from RB300

Slappys Sob Story. So long folks
I'm a bit perplexed here.You say you owe $2500 to the bill collector and dont have the money so you need to sell your rig.Then you say you are buying a $250,000 house in a 'well to do' part of southern Denver.The deposit on the house will be well ... 
Why can't I hear 20 years of phono 'progress'??
