| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? My son (a college kid) and some of his friends buy LPs. They buy many LPs from new artists that many of Agoners may have never heard of. Some of them cost A LOT, over $50, or even over $100. We are not talking about 1st press Beatles or 50/60s jaz... | |

| Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ? Comparing company X’s class A amp with company B’s class AB amp may not mean much. I bet even there are many class D amps that sound better than class A amps at the same price point.I cannot think of apple to apple comparison, but how about these?... | |

| Warning: China-Hifi-Audio.com There is always a risk involved in ordering from overseas, including China. I paid a bit over $400 s/h for new Jungson JA 99-C power amp and JC-1 preamp. I knew there was a risk, but took a plunge. For my case, it went pretty good. The amp/preamp ... | |

| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? Some of late 50's and early 60's HiFi Jazz mono LPs fetch a lot of money. Those from Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis, Coltrane, Hank Mobley, Lee Morgan, Bill Evans, ... They sound better than Stereos with decent mono cartridges. Most non hifi mono reco... | |
| For all you Vinyl lovers! Nice watch! | |
| The Lifespan of an LP? I don't do ultrasonic clean or spin clean every time. I do carbon fiber brush clean each play.However, after 50 times or so play after a few years without spin/ultrasonic clean, I start hearing more pops. With a regular brush clean I can easily se... | |
| The Lifespan of an LP? Usually after about 20 plays or so I start hearing some small pops. They are still negligible. Maybe after 50 or so, the play noise is readily noticeable, and that’s the time for ultrasonic cleaning. After cleaning, it gets a little bit better, bu... |
