| Stirring Up Trouble Excellent discussion. Should end a lot of highly contentious arguments. Some people like the smell of gasoline!MC's video almost had me hypnotized. I thought they were going to ask me to join a cult at the end.My only comment is there are SOME uni... | |
| Vinyl Accessories - Skip It or Buy It! @millercarbon - we are in agreement on this issue! Better Records should have the best record cleaning process. It’s central to what they do. They charge much more than I’d pay for any record, but I can see them succeeding in the cost no object ma... | |
| Vinyl Accessories - Skip It or Buy It! I guess pristine is the wrong word to use @cleeds. If I wanted perfect, I'd have to deep clean them every time I play them.Life is full of compromises.....let's just call them excellent. | |
| Vinyl Accessories - Skip It or Buy It! I agree lewm. It can't remove grunge. However, if a record is not fingerprinted and kept in a rice paper sleeve other than when being played and has the dust removed each time, inside a record jacket (or sometimes 2) inside an outer plastic sleeve... | |
| Vinyl Accessories - Skip It or Buy It! My fiber brush removes dust. I clean that off every time before I play a record. I clean the record mat when any dust is visible. I am sure that there are records dirty enough that the oil from fingerprints affects the sound. Mine aren't. Most aud... | |
| Vinyl Accessories - Skip It or Buy It! My opinion for record cleaning machines is that they are useful if you buy a lot of used dirty records. I try to keep mine pristine and only use a carbon fiber brush to remove dust. Most of my records are new, and if I get a used one it is NM or f... | |
| members and their systems @tomic602 - nice Lil (what is that?) garage. I'm sure the Porsche dealer was thrilled while you ate pizza in their showroom waiting for a better deal.....You should try a Cayman GT4 - I'd get one if it only had a sunroof (maybe GTS - the 4's are k... | |
| members and their systems @glupson- at a minimum he gets free use of their gear to “spread the word” - I think he does have to return it (and maybe swap it out for something else.). He has said that.Any other discounts (especially from Better Records), who knows. At least ... | |
| members and their systems Thanks for your defense @glupson.I have only ever criticized one person on this site. That is because of his hypocrisy as you’ve so clearly pointed out.One more instance of his hypocrisy - he only promotes certain brands not to be renamed again, a... | |
| members and their systems @glupson - I didn’t think of the burner phones. They are mainly used by drug dealers, but I guess they can be more economical than a monthly plan. You don’t have to be connected all the time if you have a smart phone. You just turn notifications o... | |
| members and their systems Thanks @mitch2. Much tougher for her - I just had to write checks. She probably will have to take care of me at some point (hopefully later than sooner). She has another year+ in her residency and then a 2 year fellowship, (after 4 yrs of med scho... | |
| Audio Companies with Integrity?? Ron Sutherland - Sutherland Engineering. Only makes phono stages. I bought a used one and he took 45 minutes with me helping to install a linear power supply that cost $350. He only wants people to enjoy his equipment. Nicest guy.Max Townshend fro... | |
| VINYL SUCKS! What a hipster doofus....And moron. Nice crappy tattoo also. | |
| members and their systems @millercarbon - no cell phone??????? How can you live in the 21st century? What if your car breaks down? I'm not saying you even need a smartphone. You can get a non data phone meant for people who don't know what the internet is for as the famous... | |
| Schumann Resonator MC- glad we’re in agreement in disturbing wires causing sound disparities, and of course different cables can sound better than others within manufacturers. I keep my cables off the floor and none touch each other- without cable elevators. It’s al... |
