| Audiophile Equipment Repair? I really believe that an audiophile should be able to repair their own electronics. I believe I should have wings | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? @immatthewj I have never done any golf except for miniature golf I once built a miniature golf course from Lego. The ball kept getting stuck, never seen Lego figures cussing so much. | |
| Declare the correct value on the Customs form? @mclinnguy I used to have a puli. Of course they are popular at some point in time and then they are not, goes in waves. It's hard to keep 100s of sheep around to keep them happy in a city apartment. | |
| Declare the correct value on the Customs form? @mclinnguy hah! That's wild! (I don’t understand the replacement cost $2000 math) I once paid the price of 2 new monitors (in customs, taxes and fees) for bringing one used monitor into Hungary. I could have left it with the customs but, it was t... | |
| Turntable upgrade I really do not like the look of the P8 or 10. I would really switch brands then. With all the TT changes you describe, you may not realize a lot of improvements. I tried the Parasound 2125v2 for a month and it was underwhelming to say the l... | |
| Declare the correct value on the Customs form? I wouldn't judge anyone paying $1200 for an album. It can be a time capsule, with an emotional value one can't not have. For me, a $1200 cable would make less sense... | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? @mswale this is bizarre. I browsed a few record stores in Boston and Minneapolis and the selection was always underwhelming and the prices high. In San Diego, where I live, it's hard to find a record over $20. Usually it's one version of a record ... | |
| Nearfield Low-Level Listening : New Speakers or EQ? Thoughts? I would think that higher sensitivity, more forward sounding speakers may suit you better. https://speakerchoices.com/ Although the Totems are not exactly low sensitivity, there may be better options, I would also look at the charts at https://... | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? I also recommend the new Rega P3 with the Nd5 cartridge. And I would have to think hard to find a record I own or yet to own that costs more than $15 on ebay or discogs | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? I thought about how to convince someone to start with vinyl. None of my arguments make much sense. I guess it's like an avid golfer trying to explain golf to me. | |
| Declare the correct value on the Customs form? @riie I used to. Still traveling there once or twice a year | |
| Declare the correct value on the Customs form? let me add a different perspective, with a European brain (Eastern European, even worse) We deal with taxes and customs and fees every day. It's a nightmare. A price tag of X really means 3X at the end. It's pretty normal to be "lean" every possi... | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? I can't type | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? I am not there yet @thecarpathian but I am evolving :) | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? thanks @thecarpathian - I will add "unmolestedly analog" to my audiophile dictionary |
