Vinyl?? Are there alternative materials to press recordings??
Good vinyl pressing in mint condition has no pops or clicks unless you got static along the way. Just because the record is new does not mean automatically that it is mint. It should be but not always so. I had this too with some new records.I und...

Most favored hearing aid for audiophiles
Basic Samsung phone gives the best sound of what I tried. Galaxy 7 is not bad. No, I don't have this kind of things, I just like good audio quality wherever it is. Did you notice that some people speak like a good loudspeaker while others like a c...
