Need emergency help please!
You stated it correctly "...so I have these Boss cheap speakers".  That says it all.  There a lot of quality speakers/amps/connectivity devices on the market today that are specifically engineered for motorcycles and side-by-side vehicles.  Get to...

@waltersalas  Those Fyne speakers look great.  If they sound as good as they look then, right on, do enjoy them.  When I first saw them I thought to myself, "hmm, looks like a brother to Tannoy"  And now you explained it.  Makes sense.Talking Head...

I have had my Degritter now since February.  It's awesome!  It's expensive but considering it was purpose built, from R&D to engineering to production, it is by far the state-of-the-art in todays US vinyl cleaning options.  As puffball08 state...

Played these over the last few days as part of the process for breaking-in my new amp.  Tried some I have not listened to for many years, others that I am very familiar with more recently, but nothing of particular reason.  Just listening to music...

To answer Steve's question, "where is everyone?", I have been out fishing and also to NBA Conference Finals games.  I got a nice bluefin tuna but certainly not my limit.  More fishing trips lined up for August/September.  I'll get my share!  I got... 
Joni Mitchell, BLUE album is 50 years old, NYT Article
My copy of the reissue of Blue sounds excellent!  It is a wonderful album of music, the SQ is superb and the vinyl is very quiet.  Couldn't ask for much more than that.

My original copy of Joe's Garage is a bit on the bright side.  Still, a great album and I certainly enjoy it.  But maybe the DDA recording process is the reason is seems to be rather bright.

@big_greg  Thank you for the information.  I placed my order with Music Direct.  They could not offer an ETA.  I hope that it's before the end of this year.  Thanks again.

I would really like a NM copy of Billion Dollar Babies.  I saw Alice do that concert when the album first came out.  At the Swing Auditorium, in San Bernardino.  Center stage, second row.  WOW!  I recently got a very minty copy of Welcome To My Ni... 
Measuring VTF with electronic gauge....
The Shure SFG-2 is definitely not accurate.  But I still have mine and keep as a nostalgia collectable.  Same with my original Discwasher.I tend to believe the best electronic stylus force gauge is from Rega.  However, they are very expensive.  Yo...

I wonder why two posts have been removed (see above).  This thread has never been mean spirited or negative in any way.  What could possibly have been stated that caused two posts to be removed?  Just doesn't make sense.
