| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes I keep reading the same old stance from folks that either don’t stream or streaming for fun with their fancy analog or CD players. You know who you are :-) It’s not about the data but about the context (emotional, physical, psychological) in whi... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? “I am still perplexed why these two mono groove sizes are not mentioned more often whenever the topic comes up.” @goofyfoot You may have missed my earlier post where I mentioned that my mono collection is after 1960’s era. Mono records pressed ... | |

| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? @elliottbnewcombjr A quick search lead me to this Car & Driver article. I am sure you can find more articles around the benefits of using a higher octane. I was bit surprised to see the results for Ford F-150. https://www.caranddriver.com/f... | |
| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? “It’s not about the money, it’s about feeling like a sucker. ” @elliottbnewcombjr It’s all about the perspective under given conditions. You can buy a 10 year old used BMW and fill it up with cheapest gas and not feel like a sucker. Would you... | |

| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? “what a mine field the whole mono record business can be” @billstevenson You’re absolutely right! Fortunately, I don’t own any pre-60’s mono vinyl.
