| Tonearms without anti-skate, damage to records? I’m in the “I hate antiskate camp!” I mean no disrespect to any who believe in it and use it. More power to you. For me, I’ve never heard a difference, seen a difference and have always had problems with skipping, miscuing etc. I use the bare mi... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? No absolutely not……..😀 | |

| MQA Declares Bankruptcy Interesting, just saw an email from Sound and Vision that TIDAL is now offering hi-rez FLAC subscription plan subscriptions. | |

| Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive? Understand completely! | |
