| Vinyl Record Cafe's This is a great idea for raising awareness of vinyl and audiophilia. I hope hifi gear makers/sellers and record store owners reach out to local cafes and business to promote this. Instead of the ubiquitous "Free Wifi" sign, wouldn't it be cool to ... | |

| U-Discover Mag Lists The 50 Greatest Jazz Albums Very good list, I own about 37 (more added daily!).My nitpick: I think of an album as an artist's original work of art. Some of those releases were merely compilations of 78 rpm material. Ie, compilations by a record company, not an individual wor... | |
| Would vinyl even be invented today? If someone woke today in a non vinyl world and dreamed it up today, they would certainly say "yeah, but there's no decent new music to record on it." Then rollover and go back to sleep. | |
| Beginner Turntable New: Rega, Pro-ject or U-turn Orbit $200-500Used: Technics, Denon, Pioneer or Yamaha $50-400May have to skip the mini Denon system, probably has no phono preamp- get a used 70's vintage receiver with built-in phono amp. Better sound and power. $50... | |

| "When Records Ruled The World"...BBC Documentary Great film. Rega featured prominently throughout. Sad news is that the golden era of vinyl was so short-maybe 11 years. Every audiophile and record collector should tune in. | |
| Your worst gaffes Selling a pair of Heil AMTs at a garage sale for $25.Getting rid of 72 sunburst stratocaster. Buying a pair of white van speakers for $150 and spending 2 years trying to upgrade them. The AMTs helped. | |
| Best FM antenna around $50 I've built a couple of these DIY designs. Cost nothing if you have few feet of wire laying around. Hides behind the cabinets or mounts right on a wall. http://www.wryr.org/Antenna_instructions.pdf | |

| Does anyone know what song this is? Bank robbery by Tim Drummond, from the hotspot sound track. (soundhound iPhone app found it in 5 seconds...) | |
| "Kisses on the Bottom" by Paul McCartney Neil Young's latest- one of my recent favorites, Paul's not at all. Both wonderful guys - can't always hit a home run. Aging rockers doing an album of standards has become a cliche. Neil's is all originals by the way. | |
| Technics and Threshold? Interesting. Thanks. Let's see of I have any hum. | |
| Technics and Threshold? Orph: I have a confession. Ess's came with no diaphragm, just a big hole. I had no idea what brand they were - I assumed it was a manufacturers defect - which I promptly corrected with plywood.Years later I noticed my freind had the exact pair wit... |
