Did you get your copy audio porn?

Need a shipping box for Technics SL-1200-MKII
I highly recommend double boxing the unit. Try to find a box somewhere, like perhaps from behind Best Buy or similar. Then grab a couple other boxes so you can cut them and line the main box with a double layer. Maybe even triple layer. Use a box ...

Anyone love TIDAL lossless streaming like I do?
OK you got me to bite. Signed up and 1st tune I listed to was Paula Cole, "Tiger". Very impressive. That song has an extremely wide sound range. The bass notes shuffled the wifes china around the cupboards a bit. I love it when it does that. Thank... 
righteous reggae mon

User friendly playback software
I fall into the old and stupid basket too.I find the Wiki instructions kind of fragmented, difficult to navigate and understand. Copying my CD's (I think Jriver calls it ripping) seems to be odd. I actually copy my CD's using itunes in lossless, s...
