| A public service announcement @tennisdoc56 That’s why I have two tables. The QL-Y77F is for when there’s alcohol in the bloodstream. And honestly, it may be my best sounding TT anyway. | |
| New take on CD vs Vinyl vs CD Not criticizing what you're trying to accomplish, I did a similar thing 4 or 5 years ago, but using a MoFi gold CD and MoFi Original Master Recording LP of DSOTM. But, keep in mind what you learn is pretty much useful to only yourself or someone ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Farmer’s Market. | |
| what cd player ? VERY happy with my Yamaha CD-S1000. Going by memory on model number and price. I’m 95% vinyl but have no complaints about it and don’t cringe at the idea of playing it, especially SACDs. Built like a tank, weighs nearly 40 lbs. | |

| Sound quality of new vinyl recordings. Don’t ignore or underestimate the importance of a vinyl cleaning system THAT YOU WILL ACTUALLY USE. It makes a tremendous difference but only if you use it. | |
| A public service announcement @jetter That’s gonna be my next purchase! 😂😂😂 | |
| A public service announcement @deadhead1000 I’ve been using a Hana ML since pretty much the day it was released and have never been disappointed by it. I really can’t wait to get the Umani. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a negative word about a Hana cart. | |
| A public service announcement For those asking… Soundsmith Paua Soundsmith MIMC Star Mono Hana Umani Red They were already on my radar, but things got expedited a bit! And yes, I will be 100% alcohol free during installation! | |
| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? For me, streaming is for finding new music. Vinyl is for the music I love. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? George Wein’s Newport Jazz Festival Allstars. Just came in the mail today and got a bath. 1963 promo copy stereo pressing. | |
| Best turntable under $4000 JVC QL-Y66F with a good cartridge sounds great and will still allow for safe buzzed listening. | |
| Should I upgrade my Advent 5002 speakers? @jasonbourne52 I really do like the Advents, but guess I’m just wondering if they’re a weak link in my system. My listening is mostly jazz and rock, with a little classical thrown in from time to time. Bass is only important in so far as the can... | |
| Should I upgrade my Advent 5002 speakers? Should have mentioned that the crossovers have been rebuilt already, but always good advice for older speakers. | |
| Advise on buying electronics out of-the country I’ve bought from all over the world and never had a problem. I bought a very expensive turntable last night (alcohol may have been a factor 😂) Coming to the US from Austria. Not a single concern based on past experiences. |
