| Whats on your turntable tonight? I found a MINT copy of this LP a few weeks ago which didn’t break my monthly vinyl budget (much) and have been playing it a LOT. My son, a multi-instrument musician and drummer (ahem) has also given a listen on several occasions despite it bein... | |
| Running Springs Audio Duke PC for phono stage? @jafant I’ve asked that same question on other sites and am still awaiting an answer. Seems like the Dimitris come up for sale from time to time, maybe an occasional Duke, both in the $2k-4k price range. Either people are keeping these or they’... | |
| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? Wow. And here I thought I was the only one. To start, let me just say I LOVE cats. Can’t ever eat a whole one though… (ba-DUMP-dum-CHING! I’m here all week folks, two shows on Saturday nights. Tip your waiter) Cat dander is a much larger p... | |

| PURON RESOLVE creates new options for better sound No. I have not (yet) tried any of these devices, although the Puron intrigues me, even more so that I have yet to see them popping up in the used ePay or usual used audio component sales sites. They either work, work well enough to keep, or are s... | |
| PURON RESOLVE creates new options for better sound FYI: Compliment NOT the same as complement. Just as AFFect not the same as EFFect. Or, as the pundit said to appease the grammarian: there, their, they’re. | |
| Turntable Cartridge upgrade question. I answered that question several years ago, before covid: Benz Micro Glider SL (with a Musical Surroundings Nova III phono stage that developed a hiss several months prior to the warranty going out and Musical Surroundings refused to take it for e... | |

| Humminguru record cleaner @czarivey So, do you spin the LP clockwise, or anticlockwise? | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers I read an article somewhere in the past year about the sounds associated with aurora borealis (northern lights). It’s been “folklore” for centuries that people have reported HEARING them while scientists, ahem, *S*C*I*E*N*T*I*S*T*S* have scoffed,... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Dexter Gordon, Daddy Plays the Horn A smooth, mellow nightcap. | |
| Old phones as streaming sources Good to read - some of - this post, esp. that by the OP. I’d been using my daughter’s old iPhone 5 for a BT streamer for various internet radio programs like NPR’s Hot Jazz Saturday Night, Radio Bob and Bayern 3 in Germany and several others. La... |
