| Whats on your turntable tonight? Cold weather has driven me down into my listening room this evening. Last three LPs: Coltrane Interstellar Space, Jaco Pastorius eponymous, Casino Royale original Colgems stereo pressing... | |
| For those who buy new releases on vinyl The dealers know what's coming... I buy my new pressings from a local shop that sells LP releases, and the owner knows what is going to be produced in LP and when (the LP usually lags behind the CD release. I also buy from Elusive Disc, and they c... | |
| How many LPs is enough? Yes, finding them and cleaning them is at least half the fun. I have attempted to harness this energy in accumulating LPs "worth having," regardless of musical genre. This way, when I hear a Schoenberg piece on public radio, or a Johnny Mathis Chr... | |
| My slow descent into retro MC madness... Thanks so far for your encouragement. Lewm, as for my bias toward an SUT, I have advice to the tune of about 20:1 that this is the way to go with a 103. I was being very intentional in my choice of a 45-year-old design-- my musical preference is o... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Yep, Mrtennis, you hit it-- If everyone else enjoyed my hobbies, I would begin to question what I was doing... Good point. | |
| My favorite Steely Dan song has to be... I agree 100% with all of you. There has never been any band (or duo) that has produced a more consistent or better soundtrack for my entire adult life that wears nearly so well. Standouts: Bad Sneakers, Katy Lied, Any Major Dude, Kid Charlemagne, ... | |
| How Much Have You Lost Thru' The Upgrade Process? I have lost space. Since I still like everything I acquired before, I still have most of it. Who needs ten turntables and their attendant cartridges and transformers? More on this to come... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? I visited the family of one of my daughter's friends to pick her up after playtime. Stone walls inside the house, multiple large fireplaces including bedrooms and kitchen, home theater resembling a small, luxury commercial venue. Dad, correctly an... | |
| Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it I think that Michaeljbrown understand his peril. I re-entered analog the same way. Cramming CDs into a box and waiting for the sound to come out was not doing it for me. I picked up a few of the classics that I had enjoyed growing up at a local us... | |
| What started you on the merry go round? This could almost be a synthesis of many of the above experiences. In junior-high and high school, I could only drool over the pictures and descriptions in magazines of japanese top-line Kenwood or H/K gear while I worked to save for college and t... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? My gear gives me away...I touched on this elsewhere, confessing my frozen evolutionary state, with a modest collection of Harman/Kardon TOTL equipment from 1976-1992. My daily driver is a '97 BMW 328iS with sports suspension, manual transmission (... | |
| Senior Audiophiles - Audiophile since the 60-70's? I'll ride along with the recent rash of posts to this thread. At 45 I'm no senior, but I got into this in the mid-1970's and the way I have dealt with it is likely more pathological illness than logical progression. I'll answer the questions succi... | |
| Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, audio group. Hello all,Apologies for my delayed response; the past two months have been rather hectic... In response to Fathertime's considerations, one Saturday in the first quarter of the year would probably be a good target- where and when to be determined.... | |
| Personal speaker evolution OK, I'm doing this for the therapeutic value as I have not confronted the problem...I. No longer have:1. Home made 3-way acoustic suspension2. Cerwin-Vega D-3, great when I primarily listened to rockII. Still have:1. SoundSource (Cuthbert, GA 1983... | |
| Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, audio group. One year later... I live on the north side of Indianapolis and have always wondered if anyone else here appreciates audio as anything other than X.1 of his home theater. As I am not particularly into television, my gear and systems are primarily v... |
