| How do you store and catalog your vinyl? @uberwaltz @bdp24 Yes, it takes up a lot of space - along one wall of the basement. I couldn’t have it any other way. It can be like browsing a store and not knowing what you might find. The genres are simple: jazz, blues, folk, rock, musicals, cl... | |
| How do you store and catalog your vinyl? Very basically by genre. What I love though, is that I have them stored in a record store style so I can easily flip through them. I could not do bookcase style storage. | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? If you'd took the guy (me) with the Quad 57s advice (DI, 8-2-18), you'd have saved all that bother! Hope they work out. | |
| new york city audio show 2018 @birdyboy Justin, Looking forward to the show. Thanks for taking the effort to hold it. | |
| Need some help soldering Binding posts. The rule in my day as a tech were to make the connection physically sound, and then solder. Do not use solder as a glue. | |
| Turntable isolation That's why I am in the basement. Concrete floors 6 inches thick. By choice. My large reception rooms with marble fireplaces lie unused. | |

| New user intro: some questions... You only need one Vidar. Use funds to replace old SLD2. | |
| Malfunctioning Yamaha TT-300U There is one in working order for $62 on eBay. Frankly, might be time to look at a new table. | |
| Phono preamp vs no phono preamp Red is a high output moving magnet and will work fine. If you do buy an external phono pre, wire its output into Aux not into Phono. | |
| Reasonably Priced 6CA7 NOS (or even good used old stock) Tubes Available Anywhere? New Tung-Sol 7581A are excellent replacements.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/anyone-have-experience-with-the-tung-sol-7581a-vs-el34-kt66-k... | |
| MFSL worth it? But is it actually selling? Unless, you are a collector, if you can get $125, sell it and buy more music. Depends on the rest of the rig as to how much value musically you can get out of the MF. | |
| Just curious if anyone knows.. Apparently it was costing them too much to make and hold the price point. | |
| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES A few mins after I posted the above, I thought I’d swap back in the rhodium power cord to check if what I wrote from memory was correct.Put it this way, it’s not the same stereo it was earlier. It is louder and fine detail is much enhanced...illum... | |
| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES I bought 2 power cords for my phono preamp. Both OFC stranded 12 gauge. One has gold plated pins, the other rhodium. The latter has a *slightly* steely black clean sound -more dynamic with less hash- with blacker chromium silences. The gold versio... |
