| Has anyone heard of Sankyo cassette decks? I just remember Sankyo as being one of the cheapest, most bargain basement, dime store brand names I've ever come across. I have no idea if it was/is actually any good. | |
| HiDef streaming troubles At the moment the circuit breaker to my dedicated stereo room has gone belly up. I could run a big fat extension cord into the room but I'm trying to macho it out. My electrician will try to come by. He also continually makes rude remarks about th... | |
| HiDef streaming troubles My telephone/internet service provider had me turn everything off, disconnect/unplug everything, and then connect/switch it all on again. Didn't work. When I phoned the telephone company and told them their suggestions did not solve anything (yes,... | |

| Your top 3 most EMOTIONALLY intense live concerts, and top 3 EMOTIONALLY intense records. I have an autographed poster of iconic German soprano Elizabeth Schwarzkopf on my wall.

If possible, drag the turntable to a reputable dealer/tech and have them set it up. Or have 'em come by! If you decide to do it yourself, don't drink too much coffee b... | |

| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? bdp -- We must have run into each other at some time or another. I bought my share of music at Amoeba and at Atomic Records. The wife and I met at the Tower in Panorama City, and we both later worked at Tower Classics on the Sunset Strip. I bought... | |
| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? I have no true preference for any one format. Maybe CDs are generally less satisfying in terms of fidelity than vinyl or streaming, but for me it's almost always the question of what piece of music I want to hear. If that piece of music happens to... | |
| MQA is for chumps Fuzztone -- I don't feel any anger over the fact I forked over a few bucks for an MQA license fee. I took my chances. I paid my money with open eyes. To me it's the equivalent of tube-rolling. It can take a good deal of time to find if you really... | |
| Your top 3 most EMOTIONALLY intense live concerts, and top 3 EMOTIONALLY intense records. bobandcindy101 -- wow, Cream. Still in my top handful of bands. Clapton before he discovered Delaney & Bonnie and lost every ounce of passion and energy. | |
