| What are you using to clean LP album covers? I use a magic eraser on anything glossy and just a slightly damp microfiber for matte finish. I only do it on thrift store finds for the most part, while in many cases the vinyl appears/sounds unplayed, the records have obviously been stored in l... | |
| Would you rent a $14,000 DAC for $75 per day? No. | |
| Tone Arm Lifter This is what I use, not as pretty (and the name isn't nearly as cute) as the little fwend, but they do precisely the same thing: https://www.audio-technica.com/en-us/at6006r | |
| New In 2025 As much as I'd love to be assured that everything I loved was released as a jaw-droppingly good sounding recording/remaster/etc, I admit the fact that they aren't makes finding the standouts that much more exciting. Plus in many cases even though... | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? While I looooove Laphroaig, Lagavulin, and yes The Macallan, my favorite for a while now has been the ridiculously affordable Bunnahabhain 12. As far as blending goes, the practice has definitely gotten bad press over the decades, but there are ... | |

| Having a Flashback Friday - Airplane Induced @jsalerno277 all good! There is (was) nothing in the world like a Grateful Dead concert and I don't think there ever will be. I feel, well, grateful that I was able to experience some of that magic. And you are spot on with Phil - guy was a ge... | |
| Having a Flashback Friday - Airplane Induced Another deadhead over here, but I love the studio albums as much as the live stuff. Saw them over 100 times back in the day and enjoyed every show, even the tepid ones (including Jerry's last show here in Chicago). | |
| Having a Flashback Friday - Airplane Induced I listened to Abraxas over and over from about 1:00 am until birds sang as the sun rose, staring at the cover of the album pretty much the whole time. It was truly magical, and I get a little taste of that psilocybin ride every time I hear the chi... | |

| 55” or 65” TV Screen Size and Your Speakers: Please Join Survey @waytoomuchstuff, the Kloss Novabeam! I have fond memories of sitting in our basement, watching Star Wars on laserdisc in front of that big silver screen and thinking "it will never get better than this". Of course, at 13 years old, everything see... | |
