CDs Vs LPs
@ scorpio1951109  tics and pops are caused by improper record care.  That's the problem with records.....they need to be kept clean over the years.  I have a '77 copy of 'Aja' I bought brand new...it still is tic and pop free.  Used to have a col... 
YOUTUBE and Vinyl are gonna bankrupt me!
Ya know, I looked at the Better Records site.  How do they justify those prices?  Insane....  I sold my collection of about 1200 in 1986.  Because CD's were gaining momentum and I need the cash.  Many of them were 'promos' I received through my j...

Haha.....love it 'waterzlife'.  In the late 70's, I had a friend who owned a Phase Linear 400.....can't recall the speakers. Thorens TT.  I still remember how it sounded.  Bachman Turner Overdrive f'n rocked the dump!  Fear and awe is a great ana...

Well, made the purchase.  They have been owned by an engineer since new.  Not a mark or ding on them.  Wood grain with the sorta beige covers.  He lives in the retirement home down the street and was selling them in their in house thrift store.  T...

Thanks!  I find it interesting that the stock caps would still be good but newer ones put in during a mod may be bad.  Do you think my receiver has the power to fully get the best sound?  It has pre-outs and the option of getting a power amp might...

I am going to listen to them tomorrow.  Is there a way I can tell?  I'm not very knowledgeable about the tech type stuff.
