| Sellers increasingly overgrade records I think, records on discogs are mostly overpriced. | |
| Sellers increasingly overgrade records I do talk to sellers sometimes. In most cases they want to get rid of me and my questions, at other times I get -you don't like it send it back- response. And I can't say I am fanatically strict, if stated NM record has couple of ticks that's alri... | |

| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening My first move with cables and power cords would be in the direction of Audio Art. I am a big Purist Audio cables fan but out of curiosity recently tried their $100 Classic RCA cable. Very good and great for the price. I would get their SE with Xha... | |

| Moving a 5,000 vinyl LP collection safely I had a few records lying flat for years - nothing happened. | |
