First Trip outside of Best Buy, a real newbie.
Join an audio club ? Also, you will be amazed at the level of value in the equipment designed for studio use in the commercial venue. Lots of wasted time and monies with most lines of equipment. 
What three cd's would one keep from collection ?
How about three from Jazz, three from Classical, three from Country ? Only if one has been collecting in the respected category for years and your collection is a majority from these categories.

Stormin Norman:After reading many posts over the years, it is my conclusion that most are polite and courteous, although uninformed, and pretentious. Hidden agendas and idle chatter are the theme for the day. The learning curve is long and can be ... 
Reason for buying old/classic turntables
Norm:Albeit for me, witty, useless, or erroneous info doesn't cut it for most of us. If one can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen! There is so much misinformation flying around, someone has to get a handle on it, especially for the newcomer... 
Optional S/PDIF digital input for APL Denon 3910
My understanding is that he was deported for shady activities in this country, any truth to this matter? Those with APL's are left holding the bag ? What a shame, so much hype over the years on these units.

dead quiet
I have a modded TD125, 309 arm, Grado cart, integrated amp, battery phono stage,various other tweak-ease, and the custom speaks. Dead quiet with the pedal to the metal, most think it's a 50,000.00 sound. I assure them it is not! It only took me 40... 
Does anyone out there NOT hear a difference in CD
Gentlemen: What does it cost to mod a PD-65? What does it cost to get a D/A that sounds as good as a OPPO stock after break-in ? This is just one example. This particular advise I take umbrage with . What will be the resale of the modded PD-65/,d/... 
Does anyone out there NOT hear a difference in CD
Where does all this misinformation come from? Let's use an old player as a transport, when one can get an OPPO or Toshiba, then potentially mod it by the right technician, and have great sound for a lot less monies. The digital era is just beginni... 
A Big Thank you, to Albert Porter...from My Mother
This is a very sentimental and relationship story. The world that we live in has many wonderful people. As the boomers get of age, and mostly our priorities set on the worldly treasures, and events. We may want to step back and contemplate our ori...

TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp
Terry: Please find out if the owner has the new CRL interconnects. I'm anxious to hear what you think. They are suppose to be very reasonable in price, although I don't know what they are selling for currently. 
TRL ST225 - Goodness anyone else own this amp
Terry:The GT-800's went retail for $140.000, not very many of these units in existence today. Paul has been a tube circuit designer for over 30 years. He currently has the battery powered amp. That amp will run neck and neck with the GT-800's. The...
