| Welcome to Hell, here's your 8-Track Also, 8 tracks played at 3.75 ips technically making them better than cassettes. My first player was a Pioneer. It made a loud "clicking" sound when I changed tracks. I remember pushing the button late into the night (I was 15 years old). My Dad y... | |
| Are advances in technology making speakers better? Sometimes the latest, greatest super duper material that supposed to be better than the previous version turns out to be a dog ten years down the road. One of the best things I like about B&W is that their old speakers hold up and sound great ... | |
| Ultrasonic record cleaners I was referring to the ultrasonic tank type. I know the others are made here. They do look appealing but the price??? | |
| Ultrasonic record cleaners AliExpress. China of course but cheap. If you buy an ultrasonic cleaner here in the USA, it was made in China anyway and you'll pay a crazy markup for nothing. Joe | |
| Shipping 80lb amps. There are at least three different entities involved here and you need to understand the rules of all of them! Basically, it's your amp UNTIL the customer gets it and is happy. Yes, happy. It can arrive at their door in perfect condition and if th... | |
| Most economical way to ship large speakers? Another vote for U Ship! I shipped an 800 pound set of Snell Type A 5's from Pennsylvania to California. It cost the buyer $800.00; a fraction of what other shippers wanted. More importantly is the fact that the hauler was an independent guy (this... | |
| Why does rock concert sound suck? Coffeehouses and small venues are to my liking. Who needs hearing loss? I got on the board of my local coffeehouse some years ago just so I could get my mitts on the tape library. GREAT STUFF! | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Tony Bird of Paradise | |
| Shave your CDs umm, I don't know about this. I've heard of shaved ice and shaved umm woodchuck but shaved CD's??? | |
| What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased? Snell Type B's. I'm on my third pair! | |
| Looking for Speaker Recommendations OP. I can't speak of Focal as I haven't spent much time with them. B&W speakers are definitely NOT fatiguing! If they are to you then I'd guess there is an issue with your room. You really need to listen to a set of speakers in a well set up s... | |
| Has this happened to you? How can it be stopped? I have a long established reputation in my area as a lover of hi fi and music. Over the years things have just come my way. Just today a guy from a local radio station dropped off a Teac X2000r, free of charge! A bag of ten inch reels came with it... | |
| You're overbudget on gear, one more thing... If there's an angle to be exploited, it'll be found on this site. If P.T. Barnum were alive today, he'd be selling on Audiogon. | |
| what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original? I'd rather be cool and say Eva Cassidy but I'm going with John Denver's cover of "Angel From Montgomery". He does a great job on it. Joe | |
| 33rpm vs 45rpm - which is better Sorry, this isn't to suggest that 7 inch 45rpm's sound better than 33.3 LP's They do not. Joe |
