Why are you excluding your son from listening to the best system in the house? 
Dumb file size question.
n80,As stated above, do not go for lower resolution just because of memory capacity. With a little luck, you can get 4TB for $100 at major stores. Higher resolution files are frequently worth it in the long run.In case you are looking for a one-bo...

n80,Some time ago, you said that you had no interest in downloads and will go on with CDs. I abstained, forced myself to, from suggesting you consider CDs on a hard drive. You and I have, at this point, downloaded same number of albums (1) and I h...

At some point, I read about differences about the source these high-resolution websites get their music from. I forgot the details but there was lots of discrepancy among them, at least at that point in time. Sort of "rip the CD into (let's say) D...

If there are armies of vinyl-obsessed people in their teens, twenties, maybe even thirties, on these forums, could you please identify yourselves.We know you exist and vinyl is the only way and digital is horrible and younger crowd threw away thei...

orpheus10,"That link with the charts confirms precisely what I posted 12-03-2018 9:44 AM, but nobody agreed with me."For the record, I could not agree with you more. It is only that I have not found the way to get into your account and sign your ...

Following this thread, I am surprised how popular VPI is. It seems that all of you have (at least) one.

"I bet everyone would love to have a turntable and vinyl collection of the favorite albums..."That is a bit of a stretch. People do not even have favorite albums these days, much less are they interested in collecting them on vinyl in any number s...

orpheus10,I just looked that 66 Electra 225 up. Wow, everything in there would be worth a movie. Just wow. 
Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
orpheus10,That is what I meant. It must have been wonderful, the best sound ever. I still suspect that today, compared to current players and all these debates about wires, fuses, blacker blacks, wider soundstages, and what not, they would be cons...

prof,Your inclination to keep things "proper and pure" is understandable. In theory, I am that way. In practice, some records I would have liked to listen to again (after a decades-long hiatus) had to be digitized regardless of the audiophile-appr...

By the way, I just copied that Famous Blue Raincoat record I had mentioned earlier into digital format (DSD 2.8). If there is a difference, it is not that is negligible. It is that it really does not matter. It is very very small, at best, and tha...

elizabeth,It is already slowly creeping up. The hippest of the hipsters in Williamsburg (Brooklyn) are already in for CDs and not LPs. The only correction your post may need is that their parents listened to CDs, not LPs.Why did hipster burn his t...

kahlenz,It was me who mentioned Exile On Main St. I think I have same CD as you do. My record is from 1982. It sounds "perfect" to the point that I digitalized it so it is available for portable devices. My friend agrees. However, listening carefu...
