| Is R.E.M. underrated by new music nerds? and the more political, the more I like them. If I say it, no one cares, no one hears it, I will let Bono say it for me. | |
| Is R.E.M. underrated by new music nerds? you have 100s of great bands to discover - I envy you - I mean 100s that are better than REM. And that’s not against REM, it’s just that there are so many great bands since the 60s. I think the 80s were the bleakest decades for rock music, and it... | |
| Made in USA @jcoehler many people don’t think their racist, antiX, proY posts are edgy. They just think it’s free, open, peaceful discussion, thinking out loud, expression, exchanging ideas. But as soon as someone says: "hey you’re intolerant" they call it un... | |
| Sound quality of new vinyl recordings. @clearthinker wow, lots of great antique turntables! one more funny story: we grew up on a book called the Beatles Bible. It was written by an English professor who was allowed to travel to the West so he must have had "information". I read it... | |
| Tough amp decision the more I read from the pros here, the more I want separates! I am posting my ad today for my much loved integrated Amp! Baby steps... | |
| Sound quality of new vinyl recordings. @clearthinker they are regular 12". Mostly from Yugoslavia. I'd be happy with EMI :) Lenco is a great band. My first turntable was Akai. As my story goes, I didn't have money for a turntable until I was 22. But I had an album collection before ... | |
| Sound quality of new vinyl recordings. @clearthinker funny things is, I have about 6 "original" Beatles LPs, (I never thought they were from the 60s, probably reissues from the 70s and they are meh. And now I looked closer and they are from "digitally re-mastered tapes" I know they ... | |
| Made in USA I think the State of HiFi product made in a country says a lot about the country's technological state, as in education, innovation, agility and to some extent: appreciation of music. I am surprised (is that good or bad :) ) the US has so many hig... | |
| Sound quality of new vinyl recordings. @clearthinker I am in not danger of spending $100 for a MoFi LP, but not even $30. Interesting to hear that that's no guarantee either, it seemed they were somehow worth the big investement. I buy $5-10 albums and about half of them are spectacula... | |
| what cd player ? @innersound300 The Rotel 1570, 1572 both very solid. | |
| what cd player ? Rotel, used | |
| Made in USA besides where it's made, there is where it's designed, where it's owned, where it pays taxes/avoids to pay taxes, where patents are owned, where the parts are made, where the source of the parts are mined, etc. Being from a country that has sunk ... | |
| Sound quality of new vinyl recordings. as i did a little research, new pressings are very rarely purely analog. And then what would be the point, you could just get it much cheaper in a digital source | |
| Sound quality of new vinyl recordings. @ghdprentice and I know close to 0 about streaming. We are probably the two opposite examples - system-wise, your system is as good as it gets (I know you keep improving it) and I don't just have poor albums but very basic components as well, tha... | |
| Sound quality of new vinyl recordings. to me, digital would win, based on "average" sound quality. It varies a lot less than vinyl. I don’t have money for expensive albums, so half of my collection is pretty poor quality. But about 10% of my LPs is way better than any CD, as it has bee... |
