| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad Most of music is about nuance within established forms. Your comments about rap being jump rope rhymes over simplistic beats or your reference to RHCP as rappers suggests you are not familiar with or attuned to the nuances of rap. I could be wro... | |
| Should I consider a cartridge upgrade? To expand on my earlier comments. I think you have a very nice analog setup that should perform very well. Any significant upgrade will cost you significant dollars. I actually think your cartridge is probably your strongest element followed by... | |
| Should I consider a cartridge upgrade? A sign of audiophile maturity is knowing when to stop. It's already awesome! If you really want to "upgrade", junk everything (including phono state) and budget at least $25k. It won't be state of the art, but it will be jaw-dropping awesome. | |

| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad Dumbing down...wasn't that the original criticism of rock and roll. Dumbed down R&B. Each to their own dumbness. | |
| Why I prefer gear that is made domestically That sounds like the ideal situation, a manufacturer just down the road. If something goes wrong you can just drop it off on your way back and forth to Starbucks. | |
| Problem with my computer audio Did you delete Audrvana and Pure Music? There might still be files from these programs in your User/Preference folders.Google "how to delete programs from mac" to see how to remove all vestiges of a program. | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad Tostadosunidos, to say that rap isn't part of rock and roll is historically incorrect. | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad Rap is a form of rock and roll. Go back and listen to Chuck Berry or 60's era Dylan.When Buddy Holly broke nationwide he opined that the rock phenomena might last a year or two. Little did he know what the future would hold.I think Neil Young ha... | |
| Does anyone use Laserdisc anymore? Try Craigslist. Laserdiscs are worth $2-3/ea; $5 max. There are still some collectors, but they probably already have the popular titles. |
