Congratulations on your sonic breakthrough!! In my experience the most common reason for a recording to sound bad is that it is not a first pressing.  That is not to say that bad recordings don't exist-there are a lot of them.  But, the least crum...

Wow an old album that rocked your world
A somewhat obscure album that is seldom mentioned.  Joe Beck's album titled Beck. I bought this as a cutout in the 70s and it is one of the best finds ever. It was quickly re released as Beck and Sanborn.  The interplay between Beck's guitar and S...

My last post may be not applicable.  I forgot the discussion revolved around a non-lp format.  I think the vinyl sounds great.

Ok.  Drum roll please.  I met with the electricians yesterday and found them very receptive to the needs of an audiophile.  I reviewed the options discussed in this forum in detail.  All agreed that the best option was to run heavy gauge solid str... 
A method to more quickly extract the benefits from a Perfect Path Mat, Alpha Card or Gate
