| What record cleaner is the most bang for the buck?? Bought a VPI 16 in the 80's, for cleaning every new/unwashed vinyl. Worked well until 2008. Been using a 16.5, since. Of course: every record also got/gets Discwasher spins, before each play.... | |

| FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M) @carlsbad & @mbolek (et alia)- It's dismaying, the number of those that refuse* to acknowledge the blatant facts & obvious truths regarding energy, inflation and the commie agenda. JUST POLITICS? NO (it's our c... | |
| Food: What does the typical audiophile eat? OK, so: I never followed up on the guano-based teas or salad dressing, over the past 15 years. However: my research has revealed what may be the best reason extant, for the mass consumption of cheeses and yogurt. ... | |
| Does anyone know where this J. Gordon Holt comes from? He's been dead fourteen years and his perspectives trouble you? I'd formed/held those same opinions, years before his first article. It was good to finally see them in print. | |
| Stupid Asking Prices- Why Don't Sellers Read Audiogon The Blue Book First? "I’m perplexed as to why a seller does not consider the reliable Audiogon Blue Book as a guide..." Isn’t the AudiogoN Blue Book a pay-to-play (gotta have a subscription/membership) affair? My guess... |
