| How to listen /audition at audio shows? You have to identify items to try from the pack somehow. Use your ears. If you hear a good sounding setup at a show all you know for sure is each piece in it is capable of delivering that sound in that room. That’s a first good step to help identi... | |
| How to listen /audition at audio shows? Go in with a plan for what you want to get out of it specifically then spend your time wisely and don’t be afraid to ask questions. May be doing CAF this weekend. Looking to assess some newer products. We will see…. | |

| Wait time after record cleaning To get dirty/noisy records clean and silent initially, if needed, I give them a good bathusing a very low cost but effective procedure that has worked for me for 20 years and my good vinyl still sounds like new. This is a procedure that should onl... | |
| Radio Paradise has done it again! Have checked out roon but not taken the plunge yet but may sometime soon. With RP you probably need an account in order to rate tracks and get the personalized feed but it is free. I do donate from time to time. The other similar capability I have... | |
| How long does Class A have? Personally I am anti censorship. Audiogon has rules and you just have to follow the rules. If you break them continuously it is reasonable to expect that eventually there will be a penalty. Also it’s not valid to assume that everyone is capable of... | |
