| Record Store Day 2024? I haven’t been to every RSD but I’ve been to several. Been to large stores that go all out and a small store that participates grudgingly. One year, at the small store, I was there to get an obscure record I was sure no one would want. There were ... | |
| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? There are so many factors that determine how well a particular song sounds, especially the room dynamics. The song for me that"s always strange in its sound in my room is "At Last" by Etta James. The standup bass in that song always makes my ceil... | |
| Picture Discs Cleeds knows there's a huge difference in picture discs and colored vinyl. Thanks, Larsman, for pointing this out. There just can't be a thread on here without some knowitallphile chiming in with "you've answered your own question". | |
| Picture Discs I have many colored discs that sound perfectly fine. The picture disc I bought should come with a disclaimer, "not to be played, only viewed". | |
| Best Covers Mark Kozelek's album of Bon Scott-era, AC/DC covers, "What's Next To The Moon". | |
| Review : Emerson ER-7001 Am/Fm radio. Return of the radio king! I listen to two local NPR stations (WNCW,, WSGE) in the car. Only place to go to hear eclectic new music. Can't tell you how many great obscure vinyl albums I've purchased due to this. And also, the "World Cafe" show is outstanding. | |
| Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others? A lot of what has already been mentioned for me (Dylan stands out), but I'm partial to Elvis Costello. A lot of songs he's written, I can't imagine how someone can think up lyrics like that. "Wish that i could push a button, and talk in the past... | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! Purchased Wilson Sophia 1s about 4 years ago. They're fabulous and I'll always have them, but i don't think my room gets the best out of them. Would love to work with a sound/room consultant to see what can be done to help (if such a person exis... | |
| What To Do? Alls well that ends well. The referrer got in touch with the tech, who then called me. Equipment pickup this weekend (and it's repaired, I'm assured). He's a good guy, was very apologetic. Just too much going on in his life. i appreciate all the... | |
| What To Do? Don’t like it…don’t follow it | |
| What To Do? Barts, funny you should say that.....the referrer e-mailed the tech yesterday for me. No response yet, but I'm hopeful. If this does go to small claims court, should I cite "Audiophiles vs. Noah Schumacher" as the precedent? | |
| What To Do? I should clarify even further. To my knowledge he only takes appointments to meet him at his shop. I'm sure he's there at other times, but i know he has a full-time day job. So, my chances of seeing him at the shop are very low. And, of course, ... | |
| What To Do? To clarify.....he does his tech work as a side venture. Has a shop, but does not keep consistent or regular hours, so going there will be a shot in the dark, which i don't have time to do. So, I'm not calling the police about the repair, I'd be c... | |
