| Fraudulent sale on eBay I've been on ebay for twenty years (maybe more) as a seller and a buyer. I currently do not sell on ebay (one of my first buys was my SAE 2100L). I do browse, however. Ebay feels the need to compete with Amazon (talk about Chinesium...) and have o... | |
| Fraudulent sale on eBay Yeah, well, I have bought the last fleecebay item. Kenwood KD 500 w/ arm, was wrapped in bubble and then wrapped in cardboard. The word "fragile" does not appear anywhere. I like the KD series, but I wanted this arm it is saveable. Arrived crushe... | |

| BEL The Wire S-24 Speaker Cable Thanks for bringing this brand to my attention. I am a vintage gear guy. Are there identifiers on the cables to look for? | |
| Gary Wright has passed away I, too, am a Spooky Tooth fan. Gary was an exceptional musician and song writer. My prejudice against repetitive album rock FM and top 40 is the only reason I don't have his solo work (and DSOTM). I will fix the hole in my collection. And, tonight... | |
| Being alone with your music Born in '55 to an American farm boy and a young sophisticated German girl. Mom loved music, classical, swing, and big band. She had a thing for Herb Alpert... I can't remember when it showed up, probably a Christmas gift, but one of the "kiddie" r... | |
| What was your first record? The Troggs, "Wild Thing" from the Base Exchange at the (then) Lowry Air Force Base in Denver during the annual school clothes buying trip. My mother was aghast. I still have it, but not the clothes | |
| RIP Jimmy Buffett From a failed Nashville wanna-be to a brand name. Jimmy never gave up and did what he wanted, sailing, flying his Vintage Catalina around the Caribbean, Amazing song writer, band leader, restaurateur, husband, father. American Dream, right there. ... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At I have 3 systems (no television, except the band, in this house), all vintage (how I say USED or OLD). One system is strictly mono (single driver!) in my "library" the other system in that room is TT -stereo, DAC for Spotify- my "talent booking ag... | |

| 100 Albums You Would wish for...from a Genie I've made my "desert island list" many times. Yo Lo Tengo is a perennial pick. "We Be Sailin'" by B W Stevenson HAS to be there, and John Prine, my sing along records... it's lonely on a desert island. Today, Dylan's "Blood on the Tracks" Flat Duo... | |

| Mono record sounds like stereo Might be more trouble than it's worth, but you can "strap" the phono outputs if your system doesn't offer a mono switch. With a mono switch strapping is then done in the pre-amp. What I do is run two turntables in two different systems. The dedica... | |
| Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint My house is a 1905 model. I am 50 years newer. My 3 systems are vintage as well. I solved the television problem by simply not having one. I watch a movie on the computer from time to time. I have 10' ceilings on the ground floor, a dungeon look-a... |
