| HiFi on the Go - Dream or Reality? Which Astell&Kern did you get? Based on your other gear, I'd guess one of the higher end models. There are just so many IEM's, I'd recommend seeing if you can try out various brands and models on a trial basis to see what works best for you, i... | |
| ADD or Audiophile? In my living room system, I just listen; I can't pay attention to what I read and what I hear at the same time. When working on photos at my desk, though, I have music on my desktop system while doing Photoshop work.... | |
| Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer! @immatthewj + 10 | |
| Record Store Day 2024? @bipod72 - that is true, but here are any number of good titles that are still available days, weeks, months, and/or years after the RSD they were released on. Of course, some titles are guaranteed to sell out right away.... | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. @1111art - good list! Fyi, if you weren't aware, Poe's brother is Mark Z Danielewski, author of 'House of Leaves' and a number of other unique, groundbreaking, novelistic works. | |
| Record Store Day 2024? @nicholsr - I think there is much sense in your suggestion. It's not that different from how some ticket sales are handled by certain artists and/or venues who try to minimize scalping... | |
| Market Stabilization? I stand by what I said. More CD transports and players are coming out all the time, too. Things have changed a lot since 2022 in this regard. | |
| Record Store Day 2024? I'm good with RSD, though I don't go to the stores; I'm not one for queuing up. I tend to buy titles the following day from stores selling them online. Just got a Wall of Voodoo Live album from 1979.... | |
| Market Stabilization? Vinyl and CD sales have been on the upswing for quite some time now; just check out the industry trade publications, increase in number of pressing plants, etc. | |
| Technics SL-1210G Headshells, Record Weights, and Mats I've been using a Stein platter mat since I got my 1200G and I'm quite happy with it, as I am with my Clearaudio Charisma II MM cart.... | |
| Seeking Bookshelf Recommendations Another great thing about Fritz is you get to talk to the guy who makes the speakers, and he's happy to talk for hours about speakers or anything else and happy to answer any questions you might have... | |
| Anyone listen to entire albums? If I'm playing vinyl albums, yes, unless I just feel like hearing one side at one time and the other side a little later.. When I put in a CD, I'll generally play the entire thing. When I stream, I would generally do it by playlist and put it on '... | |
| Best way to sell a record collection If you want to get maximum value for any of your records, you have to go the Discogs/eBay route and try to find a collector; you certainly won't get the best value from a retailer who has to turn around and re-sell it again. There isn't really a p... | |
| A SHOCKING DISC-OVERY TANITE NO KIDDN!!! I never heard of 'em either, but the only 'fusion' music I've ever paid attention to was 'Inner Mounting Flame' and 'Birds of Fire' by Mahavishnu Orchestra. | |
| REAL MUSIC VS. SHOW MUSIC PERFORMANCE AT AUDIO SHOWS. PRESENTATION V. PERFORMANCE? WHY? Personally, I could not care less how well a system plays Diana Krall as I don't listen to this kind of music; I don't need a system that plays everything well, if such a thing and room environment exists, as I don't listen to 'everything'. I'd ra... |
