| returning vinyl for warpage? I have had 3 different versions of the 30th anniversary DSOTM and all of them have absolutely sucked. Noisey, scratched, and warped. I found a perfect 1st pressing, and although it doesn't sound as good as the parts of the 30th anniversary that we... | |

| returning vinyl for warpage? Record stores don't get to return their records to the manufacturer (although maybe MusicDirect does), I don't know why.You should try to return them though, I have the Crooked Vultures album, and mine is fine, so you should definitely return your... | |
| VPI Classic - Now you have one...... My expectations were low, I didn't like the other VPI tables I had owned and was kicking myself for buying it, especially since I had to wait so long. But since I got it, 5 months ago, it has been nothing but pleasure. It's my fav deck of all time... | |
| Can anyone make my Modwright XA777ES play SACD? Disc are DEAD, upgrade the phono preamp and enjoy all of the music instead of just "Samples". Or buy a really good DAC instead, think Berkeley, Bryston, PS Audio Perfectwave.If you still want to play SACD's sometimes, buy an Oppo BD-83se, not near... | |

| When will rap music be less mainstream? Lawerence-Fishburne-Like-Named-Dude, that was mighty strong, I might say, excellent comeback!!Also to BongoFury, I just re-read my last post, and that was a little (probably more than a little) uncalled for, sorry, bad post. I was out of line, jus... | |
| When will rap music be less mainstream? No, Bong-futility runs the music business now, a 50 plus year old loser furiously holding onto a youth past who owns a few gentlman's clubs in the San Fernando valley makes him what we need.You know the dude, the loser next to you college kid back... | |

| Noob Planar Speaker Advice Needed I would try the Emminent Tech speakers first, then the Martin Logan's. The reason being, that even though the Maggies can be had at a great price used (under $1000), the really need good amplification to sing.Both the ET and ML's use a cone woofer... |
