Cartridge Upgrade for NAD 533
I had an NAD 533 for a while. I modded the hell out of it. While the DL-160 was a good mate the 2M Red and Black beat it in solid presence, tone, and impact. The DL-160 sounded twangy and thin to me after having the Red and Black. Really can't get...

How much were vinyl records selling for?

Hey Hxtl,Remember the word "fronting"? That was a big one in the 70's.It stood for when someone was putting on a front, making themselves something they were not.The thing about idlers, and anything else for that matter, was that the old was being...
