| My personal top Tone Poet records As much as I hate supporting Amazon, the price for these on the Blue Note site is typically $35 while Amazon usually has them for around $25-27. Just pre-ordered the 2 newest releases. I have them all except for the Chet Baker Sings and Grant Gree... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component Garbage in = garbage out is a red herring.. even entry level source and amps are pretty good.. therefore there is no "garbage in".

It was about trolls, people telling me I must be a crook because my price was too high, people telling me my item was crap and sounded like it. people who ... | |
| Mono vinyl, how do you know if really single channel mono or if stereo recorded to mono In case anybody is still paying attention. The Miyajima Zero is here I can’t say definitely why because I’ve never had a mono cartridge, so is it because it is mono or because it is just a good cartridge or ???

| Mono vinyl, how do you know if really single channel mono or if stereo recorded to mono Great... I have that in mono and listened to it many times on CD.

| Mono vinyl, how do you know if really single channel mono or if stereo recorded to mono You’re talking about OLD mono. If mono is the only version (originally recorded in mono) then it’s fine and it’s better to buy mono LP, right.
