| How do you store a whole lotta LP's? Muzikat - Sorry to take so long to respond. I don't use anything to keep the records from sliding back. Since I have the shelf against a wall, and I use 12" shelves, there's really no where for the record to go. On the other hand, the CD's would s... | |
| How do you store a whole lotta LP's? The Container Store sells a modular shelving system, Skandia, I believe its called. I picked this (somewhat overpriced) solution because the shelves are wooden (a soft wood, pine I think), but the shelf contacts are metal on metal. The shelves are... | |
| Audio and Wine? My roomate is a fine dining waiter and he and his industry peers have conspired to elevate my pallete to the point I have a difficult time enjoying cheap wine (single digit reds used to be my favorite thing to drink). I have exacted revenge on him... | |
| What are the 5 most overrated rock albums? Woody was a great songwriter (and in my opinion the closest thing you can point to as a 'father' of American music), but he definitely had his moments of extreme selfishness. Still, I think that just makes him himan. | |
| What are the 5 most overrated rock albums? I've never understood the appeal of Journey. Tweakgeek - yes, U2 'borrowed' mericlessly from Joy Division. Yes, Joy Division borrowed mercilessly from Can and a few others. Yo La Tengo 'borrows' from VU, but that doesn't make their albums any less... | |
| Is there an end.......ever? As long as people are making new music, I doubt I'll be done buying it. Although I have found that buying more than three CD's in one trip to the music store usually results in my ignoring or not completely digesting some of the music I've bought. | |
| If You Could Only Keep 3-CD's LP's , Which Ones? Yeah, right, it's not like a producer ever added anything to music (just ask the Beatles)If I had to choose:Substance - New Order (my first piece of music, and the one album that still resonates with me far beyond what it should)Koln Concert - Kie... | |
| Wilco- Wow And probably their best effort. | |
| Need replacement for garden hose Audio Advisor Three pairs of interconnect and a set of speaker wire (with enough left over to wire my parents' speakers) for $600? I call that a bargain, especially when you consider what they do for your sound. In all honesty, I had always been somewhat suspic... | |
| Are you an audiophile or a music lover: take 4 Abstract7 - Reminds me of back around the way where all the homies was fly, all the honeys was ballers, and all the shorties was 5%'rs. (Put me in the camp that likes (some of) both)).To answer the question in the way it was intended, rock (althou... | |
| Best system under 5K - that is a challenge Marakanetz - Was given the same ($500) challenge by my good friend a couple of years ago. $100 Thorens (forget the model number), $100 used inexpensive Polk monitors, $300 Fischer 100B integrated (post Fischer Doc). (Of course we went over budget ... | |
| Live or Recorded; A Faustian response It's an interesting question, because on the whole I listen to recorded music much more often then I listen to live music. However, there is not listening session that comes close to producing the kind of euphoria that I have felt listening to mus... | |
| Non Audiophiles are funny people Esmerelda - as creeper mentioned, the 12's are built like tanks and the needle gets most of the abuse (but dj needles are pretty durable, too). I have a friend who's still spinning with the pair of 12's that he bought in 1989. (of course he treats... | |
| Level Restrictions? How about having apartment neighbors with mass produced home theaters who's subwoofers play havok with delicate solo passages being produced on my side?(I've found that the 'right' volume for my rig, that is, the one that seems to be most in synch... | |
| tough sounds to reproduce ??? (sorry) The exact resonant frequency of the speaker cabinet (or cartridge, or laser head) (again, sorry) |
