What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Tom Waits, The Heart of Saturday Night.  
Cartridges
Arrogant, “it might meet your standards but not mine”.  That sounds rather cork sniffery to me.  
Has new music gone down the tubes?
Very basic for me.  Contemporary “pop” music for me is shite.  However, if one meanders from the “pop”,  there is some fantastic music being made in numerous genres.  Just saying  
Slow Shipping Question - UPS
Having the same problem.  I don’t use UPS.  I’d rather use USPS.  However, if I’m shipping I have been satisfied with FedEx.  Shipped a giutar amp head with flight case over 70 pounds to Nashville and no problems.  
Am I Getting Soft Here?
Bingo  
Solid state to tube
Might just start with a nice tube integrated.  
Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts
What are we discussing?  Does audio replay equipment sound good or not.  I’m confused.  
Help putting together a little system with McIntosh MC 30s
I had the original Totem Ones and thought they were a great speaker in a small space.  
What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world?
Haven't heard a lot of different speakers.  But, for my small room the best I've heard are my Dynaudio Heritage Specials.  
Cartridge recommendations
At your resistance level, I have a Lyra Delos on a VPI Prime and think it sounds fantastic, soundstage, clarity, separation. And by the way, it’s the most I’ve ever paid for a cartridge. I would buy another one when this one goes.  
New In 2022
Remix of Revolver on 4 LP.  Kinda’ expensive  
The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them
So, now all the MoFi product is crap?  
Any favorites for cosmetics/design/how a product looks?
Leica M3.  Beautiful and functional.

If it can be found, this is an excellent compilation cd.  It is MOJO Jack White presents the best of third man records.   It is from 2014 and was given with a copy of MOJO mag.  Sounds as good as some of my vinyl.  None of that brick wall compress... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Counting Cadence, a AAA recording, is good fun.
