| Weirdest record defect? It’s been awhile, but if I recall correctly it was a single beat (coulda been more) it had to have been a rock album…..70’s (?) | |
| Weirdest record defect? It wasn't a defect, but at least one of my records (can't recall which) had a runout groove that maintained a drumbeat for as long as the record rotated. Thats probably why I invested in a tone arm lift device. | |
| Differences in YouTube, Spotify, etc. Don't listen closely to streamed music so YouTube Music is fine for me. I haven't compared with others, but when I'm at other peoples houses and am given the music selection reins, their "Up Next" algorithm rarely fails to provide hours of what i... | |
| Do You Buy Speakers Without Hearing Them? My first “real” speakers were AR3a’s back in the mid-70s, through the military mail-order store. A friend vouched for them and the reviews were positive; another friend in the Pacific fleet bought a Sansui 8 Deluxe receiver & an Akai reel-to-r... | |
| I took Frank Zappa’s advice Thanks to Frank, I now know the ugliest part of my body: My mind. | |
| Favorite Obscure Rock Song This cut is not strictly "rock", but it's one of my favorite cuts from this album....deserving of being heard. In the certified, but maybe not too obscure "rock" category I love "Wasted Union Blues" from the first It's a Beautiful Day album. | |

| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. Hmmmm…..ok Bach, “Brandenburg Concertos” | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. Moody Blues “Seventh Sojourn” (currently my favorite) Heard it streaming on vacation and can’t get it out of my head…bought the 2007 (?) remaster and am pleased. Even in the day….believed to be their best (and final) release. | |
