| what is the best cassette tape maker in your experience? I believe ATR is back in the cassette tape business, as are perhaps one or two others. I used to purchase Maxell UD or XL tapes and some TDK. I used them back when I had a rock band, and would record our demos and some rehearsals on those with a H... | |
| The birth of a new thread dedicated to sharing our newly-acquired "old" LP's. Recently acquired a stellar collection of first pressing rock LPs that had been left untouched in storage since at least 1972 and never touched since. Every one looked as though they had been pressed, played a couple times and put away. No fadin... | |

| Klipsch Cornwall IV @ozzy62; @dbarger, thanks for your informative, honest posts on these most incredible speakers. You can put me squarely in your camp with these as well. I purchased a pair in American Walnut, and run them with my restored Marantz 2385. I have a Te... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? @artemus_5- I saw Rossington Collins Band 3 times during '80/'81. Shows were incredible. Last performance was at a 2500 seat theater. My buddy and I were standing right in the front center of the stage and had our arms on the stage floor. He took ... | |
| Which Component Has the Greatest Affect on Low-Level Listening As someone who grew up in the late 60's through the 70's and had always been used to having hi-fi amps and receivers with tone and loudness controls, I find it ridiculous that many hi-end amplification systems have nothing but an on/off and volume... | |
| New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning @antinn You are correct in your information. Kirmuss has been proven to be incorrect in his statements, and recently his products & statements have begun to fall out of favor. While expensive, the Degritter US cleaner is currently the best uni... | |

| New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning In 2017 I purchased a 6L Chinese-made ultrasonic cleaner w/timer & heater for $100. on Amazon. Made my own rotating set up with a 2rpm 12VDC motor (Amazon $20.), some 1/4-20 threaded rod, rubber grommets and large plastic nuts as spacers (Lowe... | |
| Paul McCartney 3 All the McCartney judges out there let me know how many worldwide classic rock songs you've written, recorded and had on the charts? Music is subjective always, but he is admittedly the greatest living musical artist of modern times. At 78, the ma... | |
| Best ultrasonic lp cleaner in 2020 and what surfactant best? Degassing is nothing more than running the ultrasonic cleaner with no records in it each time you fill the tank with water, prior to starting your record cleaning. It removes oxygen from the water and allows proper ultrasonic cleaning. If you have... | |

Beatles- Nowhere Man (the combination of harmony vocals, soaring fluid bass lines and dual guitar solo played by John & George just blows me away every time)John Denver- Back Home AgainLed Zeppelin- When The Levee BreaksDavid Bowie- Suffragett... |
