| Why do hipsters prefer analog? I don't care why hipsters are listening to vinyl. I am just glad they are since it helps keep a very good format alive. | |
| What is your record cleaning regimen? I suppose I might be a bit lazy, but I find that cleaning my LPs in the Degritter on the heavy setting then using an antistatic brush just before playing is an entirely adequate regime. I like simple. I have hundreds of old LPs I got for free ba... | |
| Speaker/equipment placement @bikeboy52 “New way to judge the strength of your marriage, speaker brand ,size and placement, we’ve been able to stay together for 26 years even though a pair of Apogges 24 inches from the back wall” By this standard I had a wonderful marriage ... | |
| Bathroom grooves "Man, you really need to shave your back..." I don't know why any man would want to shave their back unless they just wanted to appear less masculine. | |
| Keeping your components Dust Free I use a natural China bristle paint brush lightly sprayed with Pledge all surface dusting fluid to get in the nooks and crannies. It is as soft as a make up brush but much larger. | |
| Other factors affecting sound I see what you mean about lonely. As best I can determine his forum has zero threads with zero replies. I have been more entertained reading the text on a Lysol bottle while sitting on the throne. | |

| What's the heaviest speaker you've ever owned? What's the tallest? Tallest were Acoustat 2+2s at seven ft. ten inches. Heaviest are my present fully horn loaded DIY speakers. | |
| Basis Audio Fans larryi wrote, The platter is covered by a Charlie Rich album someone gave me which acts as a dust cover--it is by a wide margin the record most often on my player, but I have not even played it once." I am convinced that the more worthless an LP ... | |
| What's with all the new colored vinyl? I really dislike white LPs. With my vision deficiency seeing the bands between tracks is virtually impossible. | |
| Ribbon Tweeters and Animal Hair Back in the 1990s my wife had a bulimic cat, Cocoa. Cocoa leaped on top of our Lexicon DC1 pre/pro and vomited through the vents onto a circuit board. Repairs cost $450.00, I have a pair of DIY Dynaudio towers, Myrages, with D76 three inch dom... | |
| Frustrated McIntosh Owner I really prefer that audio discussions not be served with a side order of political arguments. | |
| Many higher end preamps are dated and ugly, why is this? To me the epitome of a beautiful preamp is the MBL 6010D. |
