| Record collecting versus hoarding Soko, I trash unplayable LPs, even if I like the music on them, and then I search for a better copy. If it's a really special performance, in my own mind, I try to replace the bad sounding copy with a better one almost immediately. | |

| Does Everyone Use 2 Phono Cables with SUT Dinov, there really IS no difference except I guess in the minds of some or where a phono cable could be defined as a cable that terminates at one pair of ends by a usually female DIN plug or the like. | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding I am fine with keeping LPs I do not play, because of the possibility that I will want to listen to them some day. What I don’t tolerate are bad sounding LPs (meaning poor quality recordings) or LPs that have noise causing surface damage that resis... | |

| Record collecting versus hoarding Spreadsheet? I don' need no stinkin' spreadsheet. It's all in my head. I have three record storage areas on the first floor of our house and 3-4 more racks in the basement. In each location, LPs are arranged by alphabetical order according to ... | |
| Does Everyone Use 2 Phono Cables with SUT Dover, AntiCables make several different cables for sale at different price points, and moreover they have recently revised their shielding for more coils per unit length. So which of their products are you denigrating here? I’m using their latest... | |
