LP's... Do they sound better now than 30 yrs ago?
I will. Those two copies I have sound exactly the same on my table except one has more scratches, that's the one I would send to you.Acoustic guitar music, Japanese vinyl from mid-eighties.  
LP's... Do they sound better now than 30 yrs ago?
Bill, I propose an experiment. I will send you one record that I cleaned on Okki Nokki machine with Audio Intelligent fluids. Listen to the record, then clean it using your usual ultrasonic plus vacuum cleaning routine, and listen to it again. The...

Do not scrubb - soak with good fluid, you are pushing dirt deeper into the groove. 
Why do turntables sound different?
So far scientists among us don’t participate, and I suspect I know why - they have no idea.If all seemingly great turntables sound different, than perhaps none of them sounds quite right. Each distorts and colors the sound in its own way.I would a... 
Physics of downward firing woofers
Why call each other names? Especially for no good reason.Well, downfiring bass doesn't sound like a great idea to me either but I would not judge it until I hear it in each particular implementation, including room.Bass is difficult to manage, any... 
Power Cords
Would you list your equipment, speakers and cables? Without knowing it the talk is meaningless.What is not right, what do you wish to improve?Often but not always, if you like the speaker cables power cords from the same manufacturer have a good c... 
I need help, please? Listening to my system through music!
I think, there was something that you disliked but it is possible that you got rid of the wrong piece. It is also possible that you are in fact on a quest for different sound, maybe not completely different but much more satisfying. One thing is c... 
It's European invasion
Economic argument is a good but not the only one. And it may not be as straightforward. If we buy more of what some make now and keep buying it, what economic reason would they have to innovate? They would have more financial resources, but would ... 
What exactly is colored sound?
You would know approximately or very close, depending on the recording. I have a few records of the musicians that I heard live without any microphones, I also have a few records of the musicians that I heard live with microphones. Really good rec... 
It's European invasion
Question for us, as members of audiophile community, could be - what can we do to try and influence this unfortunate tendency in an effort to reverse it ?  
It's European invasion
I see very little motivation for anything except making money, but even that stinks with some kind of begging tone, whether humble or aggressive or deceptive - doesn't matter - it's all begging. 
What exactly is colored sound?
Again, before the recording itself there are microphones that cannot 'hear' as well as the ear. It goes from there. We should try to recreate in our listening rooms what ear would have heard not what microphones 'heard'. Of course, it's impossible...

Well, it's not too bad. More reason to get the best equipment possible. May be unable to fully compensate but hopefully enough. 
My experience with Galen Carol Audio
Larry of Hollywood Sound is the only one, I think, who sells Notingham turntables. He strongly dislikes MM cartridges, other than that he is easy to deal with. 
My experience with Galen Carol Audio
I share this philosophy - serious upgrades not small steps. And if he makes more in cases people follow his advice - that may be good for both parties. I said "may" not "is" because in recommending this or that brand and model he will take into ac...
