Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver?
If you liked the ART9, I'd look at this: Audio-Technica AT-ART7 cartridge It's the 1st gen, $500 less than latest. Subjectively, maybe more refined sound quality. Air core construction as some big buck $$ carts. Presently satisfied with my bac... 
New remastering of Steely Dan's Katy Lied review by Fremer
Having heard KL on both a STELLAR rig and my modest setup,I never thought it was inferior as written what Fagan and  Becker thought.  I don't always agree with this guys puffery about his high priced LP's but in this case, I hear what he writes"... 
The Power Plant Regenerator debate drags on
Definitey a YMMV product. The BEST audiophool $700 I spent was on a used, MIC Power Plant Premier about 8 years ago?  Sent it back to PS Audio 4 years ago and it should be good for somewhere between 5-10 years? PP should be in your own setup to... 
Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago.
'And if sheʻd have taken just half that sandwich from Mama Cass, theyʻd still be alive today." Sigh.. looks like we have an immature, juvenile members here that likes to perpetuate nonsense. Grow up, russbutton.  
Record Store Day 2025 List
"I guess I’m in the major minority here." mofimadness- We like what we like. There might be a member or two who listen to things such as this 6IX9INE- GOOBA (Official Music Video) Maybe I didn’t scroll down far enough, missed the special RSD ... 
Record Store Day 2025 List
"Little known fact. The song was cowritten by Bernie Taupin." tony1954- Now that's an interesting bit! Hard to believe, in reference to the amazing early 70's Elton John catalog. Perhaps B.T. was thinking-oh let's just put something together fo... 
I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading?
You're at the "Just listen and enjoy music" phase. Kinda like retirement and thinking-"what now?" Enjoy life. I'm there, but when that MD catalog shows up every  year, I always do an imaginary shopping  cart with $250K+  of stuff. Once I drop t... 
Record Store Day 2025 List
larsman- That was just a goof on the entire Starship thing-awful.    
Record Store Day 2025 List
Plenty of great titles there, but... No shortage of clunkers though- Jefferson Starship- "We Built This City"??? Ouch!  Okay, I offended someone who liked that embarrassing period for the Airplane.  Even GS didn't approve. Not a RSD particip... 
Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago.
I believe even the toughest/macho guys had a secret  favorite Carpenters song during their heyday in the 70's. All the girls in school loved her version of this, and it's one I'll  never admit I like.  Interestingly, a Leon Russell composition. ... 
Things we cannot be bothered by anymore
Oh my... Another thread dangling on the edge of... Getting deleted!  
Thinking about going electrostatic
You could probably negotiate a lower price on these: Martin Logan Classic ESL 9 Speakers For Sale - US Audio Mart The killer might be the shipping? For the price they can be a great intro in the ESL sound, which I now prefer over conventional s... 
3k budget for Turntable and Phono Noob- do I need external power supplies?
"Is it worth adding a $500 Sbooster or IFI Elite to either the TT or phono or both?" Too much audio forum/audio website reading and brainwashing. Something like this. Look around and get without cartridge for $1500 Mobile Fidelity UltraDeck Man... 
Enjoying the Original Music Streaming Format - Analog FM Stereo
Streaming, with its customization and convenience is great but, the beauty of listening to a GOOD FM tuner is that you can just turn it on-no relying on an internet signal. My 1967 Macintosh MR 71 will only be replaced if I get my hands on a Mara... 
VPI Classic 1 tone arm swap help needed
I’m guessing whatever design chosen, if you can manage to fit something AND keep the original dustcover- that’s a win. SME is another one of the "can’t go wrong" choices. Also guessing a 12" could be fitted with some custom AB? Imagination seems...
