@bdp24: "Bewildered" is a good way to put it. A buddy and I got together in '67 (our sophomore year) and started practicing together, working out Byrds and Stones tunes. When Cream hit, my buddy, Bob, was knocked out by Clapton and started learni... 
What record cleaner is the most bang for the buck??
I use the KAB EV-1. It's like the top section of a Nitty Gritty record cleaner that you hook up to your own vacuum cleaner. I like that it sucks the waste water off the bottom of the record rather than fighting gravity. It only costs $149. It's so...

Buyer anxiety
I'm guessing I did the right thing in backing out of a transaction when the "seller" addressed me as "Darling buyer".  
whats wrong with audiogon?
I was having a LOT of problems with the site until I disabled Ad Blocker Plus. It is now working normally.  
Welcome to Hell, here's your 8-Track
The sound quality of the prerecorded 8-tracks was pretty abysmal but then so were many of the prerecorded cassettes. One thing that bugged me was the LONG and totally unnecessary fade-out and fade-in that made the track change seem like some elabo...

Who Remembers the DAK Catalog?
I purchased several items from DAK including a passive Cerwin Vega subwoofer which was my introduction to subwoofers. I also got a good deal on a Sharp VCR that was actually the best VCR I ever owned, and a Vector Research cassette deck that my br...

E-bay and its sellers
@thecarpathian  Sorry if you took that personally. You're also free to speculate all you want on what I did wrong in my transaction.  
E-bay and its sellers
It's not possible for any here except the OP to know the details of this transaction, however, I have been on eBay for a LONG time and have had 577 transactions, all as a buyer. Over the years, I have had only a handful of transactions that went w...
