| Is it ok to stack LPs horizontally? What you might try is go on Etsy and search for "vinyl storage". Perhaps a small footprint rack like the one below would be a solution. | |
| Scam Alert The thing to do when you receive a notice that makes you nervous is to not respond to the email, but to check your PayPal accounts and credit card accounts to see if anything unusual is happening, always going to information sources you know are g... | |
| Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good? My speakers are better than headphones because, among other things, headphones don't have a subwoofer. | |
| Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good? The trouble with this "it's not the system it's the room" argument is that the good recordings and the mediocre recordings are both being played in the same room. Moreover, it is the same room as my upgraded-from system. I fail to see what differe... | |
| Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good? I have to come down strongly as a no on this one. A poor recording is a poor recording. The system can't put anything there that isn't there. It is my belief that the measure of analog is analog. That is you don't really see the value of analog so... | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? If I can act as referee of my own thread, I think the result is that there are indeed people who do buy Schiit for the sake of Schiit. I think it would have been a little less obtuse of me to look at the price range of Schiit products. They make a... | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? Now that I think of it, Tekton seems to be an example of a maker of relatively low-priced equipment that's bought for its own sake. Also selling directly. | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? I think a number of people on this thread have imagined a chip on my shoulder that really isn't there. I would have thought that when I admitted that I didn't have enough direct experience of their products to make a judgment (i.e., two headphone ... | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? When I spoke of workmanship and material I was thinking of discount store merchandise, not Schiit's products. It seems anyway that the voting here leans towards "good for the money". | |
| Best double live vinyl? Not a double and not remotely the best live album, but I was rather taken by the live album that was the second disc of Everybody's in Showbiz by the Kinks. Ray Davies is clearly plastered and the rest of the band isn't far behind, and there's jus... | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... Because we have heard it with our own ears so many times it has become commonplace to us, but it is in truth quite miraculous that you can send an electrical impulse (or whatever it is) through a wire from one box into two other boxes and the soun... | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? Perhaps older people are just more likely to buy physical media? If it's streaming on a subscription model and people could be listening to anything they want, well, that's sort of a judgment on contemporary music, isn't it? | |
| Why dealers disparage certain products? Some small shopkeepers are just eccentric and crabby by nature. | |
| Bluesound Node 2021 DAC - I sold my Denafrips Ares II The bright side of your failed experiment is that Ares II has great resale value. | |
| How long ago did you catch the bug? I think I had what is probably a common experience: I had been going along using commonplace Sears Roebuck level gear, thinking of hi-fi nuts as weirdos as suggested by Mad Magazine, until I listened to music at the house of a friend who had a dec... |
