??? Where Does "High End" Start ???
@superblueapm ”No one should care (much) about such a label.” superblueapm…. You are the super supreme Ghostbuster. You have blown this debate wide open for what it is. There appears to be a lot of “gatekeepers and insecure” inhabitants on here.... 
??? Where Does "High End" Start ???
An interesting question with no answer. @gruvjet may have nailed it with big bucks v wise choice. @mapman “Cost and sound… two different things”. Spot on Man…..   My take….   Hi-end does not have a verifiable point or origin for its existence... 
The Accidental Tweak
After reading this, I asked my partner if the Hi-Fi could possibly sound better with my covers off….. She replied, “lf we would have guests over, definitely NOT”   l can understand her logic  
What A Drag It Is Getting Old
@waytoomuchstuff  “Just yesterday”   Thank you for offering up your scrambled memory recipe. The trifle of growing old. Today…. and relevant to @slaw ”Getting old ain’t for pussies” My partner was watching a David Attenborough wildlife TV do... 
What do you care about in this hobby?
@mapman “What do you care about in this hobby?” l have read so many interesting comments on this discussion. I believe your original post idea was for equipment only based replies, hence your bullet points. There have been so many music first ins... 
antiskate disc
@dynacohum  VTF Knowledge about record wear and antiskate. The discussion about record wear you posted reminded me of the general opinions in the earlier days of Hi-Fi and when it was evolving. Shure and Goldring were always trying to lower the ...

@willy-t “Here’s what l do…” You have thought of something alternate here. Normally there are three ways of doing something. 1. The recognised right way 2. The wrong way 3. A new better way   Possibly your way? (and more accurate with a mono ... 
What A Drag It Is Getting Old
@slaw  Not entirely accurate on my part. Sam Elliott said a line in “We Were Soldiers” answering Lt. Colonel Hal Moore’s question about how did Custer feel after realising he’d led his men into a slaughter.    “Sir, Custer was a pussy. You ain’... 
antiskate disc
@cleeds  l have no problem, l am just reciprocating. You have driven the discussion in this direction. I am purely responding each time you post, to put the record straight (so to speak)  
antiskate disc
@cleeds The stylus when placed on a blank test band when rotating will imitate a stylus cutter. No amplification required. A cutter with no signal would produce a groove with no modulation, the same as the silent gaps between tracks.    You init... 
What A Drag It Is Getting Old
@slaw ”Gettin’ old ain’t for pussies” Your not Sam Elliott (in disguise) are you?  
What A Drag It Is Getting Old
@mapman In true Moody Blues fashion. ”l never thought l’d live to be a hundred…… Justin Hayward. ”Wait and see”  
antiskate disc
@cleeds  A stylus imitates a cutting head. Why would it not try to cut a groove on a blank test disc?  Please read again carefully my reply to @jw944ts about how a stylus tracks a groove. Don’t suggest he is carving up his records…. “If true, it ... 
antiskate disc
@jw944ts  l can’t answer the debate on blank test records, but what you observe with scratching the surface when using one is quite normal. Even if you are tracking at 1 - 2 grams will leave traces from the stylus on the virgin flat vinyl. Don’t... 
What A Drag It Is Getting Old
@mapman ”Why is it..” Old v Young I think the answer is simple…. Old people (myself included as over the hill) think more often about how many years they have left, so the age thing is always in the front of their minds. Youngsters think far le...
