| What is the Best LP Cover Art for you Wall Radio City by Big Star. The photo is one of William Eggleston's more famous photos and he is one of my favorite photographers....for reasons that are not clear........ | |
| Am I hearing things (you don't) ???? There are always trolls. The best thing to do....is not what I did....but not to reply at all. Thus the 'removed' posts. The moderator removed a couple but I removed several more of mine. I just have to keep reminding myself that nothing, and I me... | |
| full-scale orchestral music—best test of speakers’ potential? I would agree that the best test track is at least an example of the type of music you listen to most of the time. | |
| Caps and Tubes Thanks for the advice and references. Will do some reading at the AR database. Chazro, no remote. And AR no longer have them in inventory. Fortunately a programmable remote works for volume. But nothing else. | |

| Am I hearing things (you don't) ???? Prof, I misspoke earlier in regard to TRT. I know very little about it but often suggest to my patients that they can try it since there isn't significant risk. Most have not found it worth the trouble. In this discussion I had confused it with a ... | |
| Apple vs Amazon OS is old 10.10. iTunes is 12.8. Performance is better on my new iMac (latest versions etc) but still a bit buggy and the bugs I'm having are being reported fairly widely with lots of frustration.Amazon Music would be the current version. | |
| Basic/mid fi headphone advice. I settled for the Sony MDR-7506s. They sound pretty good to me and came with free overnight shipping. For the price I think they fit my needs very well. Thanks for the good advice. | |
