| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? One vote for cats too. They can be sweet and love us too, just like dogs | |
| Market Stabilization? I don't think it will change much, vinyl just sounds too good | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers It must be dementia that I have a hard time following this thread lately. (Or, maybe the thread) | |
| Anyone listen to entire albums? @jastralfu As strange as it may sound, I have explored more artists and their work with vinyl than I would have with streaming. I only stop listening to an album if it makes the cat bolt through the closed window. I discover so many "B sides", it'... | |
| Anyone listen to entire albums? on that "when I grew up right around CDs" angle: when and where I grew up, an album cost 2 weeks' salary. A turntable would cost twice that. Most people had 10 or 15 records total. (One for Christmas and one for a birthday - slowly adding up) We ... | |
| How you know your system is improving? @hilde45 you are very kind! It sure would be nice to see it and you in person, I will be mindful about when I can be in the Denver area. | |
| Best way to sell a record collection @czarivey I hate the ebay fees. 13% or so, and the same fee on the shipping which I is not income. I have sold 0 on discogs though, and many on ebay, so I don't know how discog works. | |
| How you know your system is improving? @hilde45 looking at your system, your time and knowledge invested in it are worth an audiophile master's degree :) | |
| Best way to sell a record collection I never had any complaints either. And I only sent back one album, I realized it's not worth the hassle for $10. Most buyers are sellers as well, they know the nature of the game. I think the trick is to describe them correctly, and ship them the ... | |
| Best way to sell a record collection USPS media is $4.50 in the lower 48. I posted about 30 albums for a best offer on ebay and it sells at around the rate of one a month. I like the idea that you sell the best ones individually. You can also sell them as a lot and set your price. It... | |
| Best way to sell a record collection it's pretty painful to list them and mail them one by one at the post office. When I realize I won't listen to an album again, I take it to my local record shop. (Usually 10 at a time.) He would pay me half of what he would then sell it for. | |
| How you know your system is improving? I am a good example of changing things and many times not improving anything, Part of the process, I guess. One needs the skills, the funds and the time to make meaningful improvements. Maybe that's why the majority in this hobby is people with ti... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @newfzx7 if you watch Erin's video, he shows all the correspondence between them. So yes, I have read and watched the facebook posts, emails, discussions as they have been published without redaction and there is nothing more to the puzzle. Ther... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @newfzx7 do you understand what happened? Because what you described is not what happened. So from then on, your assumptions are way off. Tekton was not wronged. It was a fair and GENEROUS review. There was no lynch mob. Tekton guy attacked and... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers @newfzx7 but that's NOT what happened. You can color it however you want, there was no any such reaction after that review that was positive anyway. He created a storm in a teacup where there wasn't even a breeze. It's like shooting a guy on the s... |
