Difference Maker!
That's a good reminder. Probably the best tweak over anything.A visit to the ENT for a hearing test is even better. You may be surprised by how well you think your hearing is or isn't.  
8 track tape vs 1st press vinyl
But what about the dreaded middle of the song track transfer?Air guitar solo interrupted, then a couple bars must be repeated! 
Now I get it...
Congratulations.You now have the  gear. Avoid the darkside....REISSUES!Discogs is your bible for original presses.  
i finally figuared it out this is gonna sound crazy?
Convolver impulse filter?  Muffler bearing or faulty kniffle rod-2019 manufacturer recall 
I am restoring a Stromberg AU-42 - 6L6G question
Cool looking amp.Are those chicken head knobs bakelite?Big fan of the 6l6G sound. To my ears a great compromise of the El34 mid and KT88 bass. 
Klipsch Service, is like calling the Federal Government.....What a joke
Where have you been the last 10 years?This  type of "customer service" has been slowly ramping up the last 20. 
Looking for new to me Jazz music
 "I just listened to Kenny Burrell , Midnight Blue and I enjoyed it."If you liked Kenny Burell, just Wiki him and see who he has played with and explore. Endless discovery. Classical, Jazz, Rock and all their sub categories are best going backward...

Another deep thinking post with awful music.Bad 1980 MTV video memories. 
Cheap/expensive or expensive/cheap?
I put a Nordost Odin2 power cable, IC's and speaker cables to my $250 1995 Harman Kardon Receiver, $150 CD player and $300 white van speakers.Blows away all the systems here, in the forum. Will post pics soon. 
Hearing Loss
Timely and informative post.I'm going in for evaluation. Tinnitus and 7khz loss. Aging(physically) just isn't fun.Music enjoyment isn't any less, but the tinnitus can be annoying. I'll probably end up springing for nice hearing aids. 
Guilty Pleasure via Reader’s Digest
The Readers Digest series are great for those not into getting period LP's of the 50's pressings.The Time/Life series  is  also a good find at thrift stores. Not unusual to find very nice sets for next to nothing. Decent recordings. I've found cop... 
Yet another Stones reissue...but something new?
Most original presses of anything just sound more convincing to me. Some owners of the Classic 45's  prefer those over 33's.Never had an itch to bother with any Zep reissues. I have a Classic HOTH 80's. Nice but I like my RL copy. 
Best Rock Song Ever!
Anything but Hotel California? 
AT-ART9 cartridge on Marantz TT-15s1 - I don't think I'm getting the performance I should
Something is amiss there....RTFM....we're guys! We don't need directions or manuals.While I'm sure sure the Foz is a great tool, any cart can be adjusted by ear to get an acceptable performance.According the designers, the stylus mounting isn't al... 
Very best sounding Vinyl
Now you're enlightened.Perfect excuse to find a Pete Townsend white jumpsuit for bin diving. http://www.citizenthought.net/images/SGandPete.jpg
