| Recommend an Entry Level Turntable (And maybe an integrated Amp) And so right you are axpert. I can tell right now from absolutely no information how I would have trolled you on all the lame gear you were going to recommend. Portrait of the Artist as a Young Grease Stain, that's what it would be. Awww, who am ... | |
| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? You know when a stereo sounds good when the instruments start sounding like instruments. When a guitar sounds like strings vibrating and wood resonating, and so on and so forth. When you walk by a closed door of a room where the system is playing ... | |
| A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do? The difference between consulting an attorney as opposed to a couple of dozen random jailhouse lawyers on a message board is that the attorney is likely to have an informed opinion about the law where you live. This costs money. Whether you want t... | |
| A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do? There are any number of record dealers who post clips on YouTube about large collections they've acquired. I would suggest you contact one of these dealers to ask their opinion of whether you have the right to sell the goods. If their response is ... | |
| I'm a Dummy, Tell Me About Turntable Mats A $350 turntable mat. I am reminded of the phrase "audio jewelry". | |
| Does a Subwoofer Make Spiking Redundant? When I put spikes under my speakers I could definitely hear a marked difference. If a blindfolded person could not hear the difference then I think it would be more a matter of The Emperor's Cloth Ears. The thing was, I wasn't really sure at the t... | |
| Does a Subwoofer Make Spiking Redundant? I looked at those Townshend Podiums. You must understand that those things go for about what I could afford to pay for a speaker. Of course, if you're playing a $299 copy of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida through an $8,000 speaker, it's perfectly proportional. | |
| Does a Subwoofer Make Spiking Redundant? Not the subwoofer, the main speakers. Or rather, the main speakers were spiked before I got the subwoofer. If it's true that they're two different things then that's the answer to the question. | |
| I agree with Keef What "Brown Sugar" says is that the frame of mind of contemporary white men pursuing black women is not that different in kind or type than that of slave owners abusing their charges, and the singer doesn't necessarily exclude himself from this an... | |
| Vinyl Buyers: The Premium Price Vinyl v. Cheap Vinyl Ratio tablejockey, none of those artists have ever been popular enough in the United States to show up at yard sales. Los Panchos, maybe, but none of the others. | |
| Vinyl Buyers: The Premium Price Vinyl v. Cheap Vinyl Ratio I was referring to overseas shipping, not domestic, which is no sweat. For kicks I tried a few artists I’ve bought LPs of by mail on the linked site, and found none of them:Trio Los PanchosCompagnons de la ChansonOwen BranniganHarry Secombe (singi... | |
| The Most Digital Recording You Ever Heard You mistake me - I'm a digital guy, and remain won over to the CD, but no one can deny that back in the earlies there were some really dodgy digital recordings coming out, and I was asking if any particular ones stuck out. | |
| If there’s an audiophile exit ramp, this ain’t it… It's sort of like a heroin addiction if your habit was limited by your income and you could sell your old heroin. | |
| Is improvisational jazz to impressionism art as smooth jazz is to realism art? All jazz is improvisational, and there's no reason why "smooth jazz" couldn't be. It's sort of the definition of jazz. Are you perhaps confusing "improvisational" with "free jazz" or "harmolodics"? | |
| Mono cartridge recommendation This is interesting because I was kind of curious about how one would optimize a system for mono listening. Most of my mono listening is from digital sources (you shouldn’t hiss during a pandemic, it’s not sanitary). Actually that was the great bo... |
