Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align
I'll just go pop rock here -- Michael Jackson -- Thriller Roy Orbison -- Pretty Woman Beach Boys -- The Girls on the Beach  
Cartridge position on headshell . . .
My Dennesen Soundtractor tells me that my Alphason Arm wants my Hana cartridge to sit a bit forward of the head shell, with a bit of bare cartridge top being visible. It was the same way when I had a Lyra Delos. Tracking and fidelity have never be... 
The Mood Was Ruined
The way I see it, your Technics record player has one heck of design flaw. To be sure, a piece of "whatever" stuck in a groove can be annoying, but there's no reason for the record player to suffer a tantrum/hissy fit over it. At the worst, the ar... 
Why Are We Breaking Our Brains?
As kiwiscott sez... This is one of the best threads I’ve ever come across at any website. We’re all going above and beyond. No insults. Just different folks articulating their different strokes. Audiophiles rule! We are truly superior beings! So t... 
Incredible improvement in sound quality
I'd have a tad less tinnitus in my left ear if I stopped playing the fiddle.  
RIP David Lindley
Always enjoyed his playing. I can't remember, though. Did I see him live once? Did I actually meet him?  
My opinion;
Listen to what you like. But at least make an effort not to wage war with your common wall neighbors. @czarivey You would have gone stark raving bonkers if you'd hung out with my buddies in the 1970's..  I'll always like them personally, but as f... 
Is Imaging Worth Chasing?
I love imaging desperately. It offers up an intoxicating sense of space and room-filling "there-ness." I revel in it. It's especially wonderful in the opera recordings done by Decca-London and EMI Angel. Singers wander around the stage, front to b... 
Novice needs opinions for new system
As ghdprentice says..  
Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older?
I have a habit of trying out new/unfamiliar material that Qobuz puts on their home page (or is my personal home page thanks to their sneaky algorithms?). It's kind of like it was when I maniacally listened to AM...and then FM...pop radio.  
Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time
I listen mostly to Classical Music, but when I pick up one of my several musical instruments what usually comes out is Folk or C&W. It doesn't help that one of those instruments is a banjo.  
Beatles vs. Stones
@larsman The way I see it, I can't be sure the Stones were inspired enough by Sgt. Pepper to do Satanic Majesties, were doing it as a friendly tit-for-tat, or were given just a tiny bit of pressure from their record company. In any case, the Stone... 
One of the great things about Vinyl
@jjbeason14 Jus' makin' light of the process, a process I often willingly undertake. It's even more fun when I get into a jag of playing my far too many 45rpm singles.  
Beatles vs. Stones
I’m not so much into provenance, originality or other scholarly aspects of art & music as I am with the sheer emotional involvement a goodly piece of art or music can send my way. Yeah, it’s always nice to have your cerebral cortex tickled, bu... 
One of the great things about Vinyl
One of the reasons you wanna listen to an entire side of an LP is that it just takes more coordination and physical effort to get the thing to stop or pause, not to mention getting sound out of it in the first place. You gotta stumble over to the...
