Stereo, hi fidility, ultra hifidelity ?
Just to clarify my "hint". If you go to a concert and are impressed with how note for note perfect the artist is then that is a very good indication of what one might expect on vinyl. I was not speaking about a live recording.A great example of th... 
Stereo, hi fidility, ultra hifidelity ?
If you would like a fine example of how an LP should be recorded and mixed find "Breaking Silence" by Janis Ian. Reading the back bottom of the cover regarding microphones and recording/mixing techniques makes my pusle race. It is an album of grea... 
Regrets
I regret giving a custom framed, unopened, original copy of Sgt. Peppers as a wedding gift. It wasn't appreciated. I never received a thank you note. The bride allowed her child to open it. The marriage ended quickly and that precious piece of his... 
What is the most expensive?
Grand Enigma (Enima)indeed. Sounds like a Grand f*#^%>g to me. 
Why do crossovers do more harm than good???
You may wish to read about active crossovers at www.crossovers.com. They have a great explanation about the benefits. It's my understanding that active crossovers need to be designed for a specific speaker and, as such, are better suited to either... 
Mail Service Canada from US, "Who Shot the Eagle"
It's really interesting how the U.S. Postal Service varies in performance across this country. In 52 years I have never had anything lost or delivered/received late but the real horror stories are true. These problems seem to occur mainly in the l... 
Turntable Hmmmmm
If this is a regular household circuit that provides current to other lights, appliances, etc. you may wish to shut off all the other stuff one at a time to find the culprit. Assuming you are using a light source to illuminate the tt you may first... 
Dust Covers
Mothers plastic polish is great and available at most automotive parts stores. It is quick and easy and only costs about 5 bucks for a lifetime supply.Happy polishing,Patrick 
I'm still working to love digital, are you?
Okay, I know that I'm likely to suffer some slings and arrows posting this, but fire away (don't get too personal, please) because I believe this is important. I admit that I don't have the most whiz bang audio system by a long shot (It's trailing... 
Cool Amp Stands - what to get at a good price?
Here is a thought if you are capable of drawing what you would like to have. Take the drawings and specifications to a small welding shop and get a quote for the frame. Buy or make the shelf while the frame is being done. Then find a powder coatin... 
I'm still working to love digital, are you?
I certainly agree with your viewpoint. At my age however, I have come to understand that I am as addicted to other aspects of vinyl as I am to the sonic superiority. I love flipping through the albums, looking at the cover art, reading the liner n... 
Is there an end.......ever?
Tim, A short time ago there were a couple of posts asking which you would rather give up....the hardware or the software. Most responded that the music was what was important. That about sums it up. My music library is a reflection of "who" I am, ... 
Oh where or where have all the buyers gone?
I listed some items today and enjoyed 50% success already. Just lucky, I guess, but it makes me wonder if we could somehow swap gear rather than money for gear. Of all the items I listed today my personal favorite will probably languish awhile. Go... 
Down right BEST CDP for the money???
I agree with Ncarv. In fact, my really cheap Sony DVD plays CD's so good it's spooky. Just my 2cents worth. 
Cost Sharing ??
My local used vinyl store offered to sell me their inventory of +/- 60,000 albums. Sadly, I can only dream. It is possible that this is the finest outlet of it's kind anywhere. Any ideas?I do like your idea. Put me on the list if you want to organ...
