| Audiophilism is a hobby I must admit, I now believe not all audiophiles are Audiophile Billies. However, unfortunately, I think. that a good many A’goners fall into this category. Otherwise there wouldn’t be so much handwringing over equipment that goes on. It’s very sad... | |
| Audiophilism is a hobby @tylermunn, EXACTLY! | |
| Audiophilism is a hobby @oldaudiophile I concur with what you’re saying. Those who don’t “fiddle” with their rigs, but are happy with the sound they are achieving can probably also be termed audiophiles. But the nature of this forum is that it dedicates itself to the t... | |

| Maurizio Pollini R.I.P. I, too remember when I bought the Chopin Etudes record. Was totally blown away. Many other sets have come out since, but none equals his. | |
| Stylus stuck in groove. @blisshifi It skips back into the same groove Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve ordered the cleaning solution. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Karajan’s 1959 recording of Strauss’s Ein Heldenleben on DG’s Resonance label. Stupendous sound and performance! | |
| Are your record surfaces as silent as CDs? @atmasphere Thanks for the explanation. “I'm very used to playing entire LP sides without any ticks or pops and I don't clean my records other than using a carbon fiber dust brush before each play” I have the same experience, except that I occ... |
