Do you guys like Adele's music?
cd318-I have a kinda rare Joy Division "Unknown Pleasures" Given to me in 1980, by a friend who was hip to the changing music scene. I was still  clinging to my Zep and Stones. Its not an uber rare Brit press, but still a US early copy.It's had nu... 
Hendrix blues
I don't recall what video it's on, but it's Jimi's coolest version of "Hear my Train A Comin". It is performed as a 12 string acoustic solo, in an all white set. Jimi is wearing a white suit. Jimi initially starts the intro, doesn't approve and in...

cd318-We can thank some of the 80's "entertainers" for this now accepted style of "art"? Mariah Carey comes to mind. Vocal range of 20 octaves and delivering in every chorus, is mandatory. Add dramatic background dancers for the video naturally.Mu...

another get approval thread.If you like that yelling,over the top singing style which seems to be popular these days, just go with it.Not my cup of tea, but the top of your lungs, dramatic is what the masses appear to like. 
VPI Classic quirk
The problem is very specific.This will seem odd to the hyper careful among us...I've never bothered to turn off the motor when flipping sides. I just lift and flip, tighten clamp. Never seen or heard any damage to anything so that's my thing. I de... 
VPI Cuing arm falling too fast
My lifter bacame wonky, so I got a repelacment from a friend who works on VPI's.Put the new one on, and put a record on. Instinctively, I cue the arm and drop the lever... THE STYLUS SLAMS DOWN ON THE RECORD! A close inspection reveals the replace... 
The process of elimination
Futzus intermittent swapping at the cart confirmed noisey right channel. I then put leads back- noise disappears. I'm rockin for now-until whatever internal thing with the cart decides to surface.Guess I'll put a cart replacement on  mid burner un... 
Tuner power cable ?
I would be concerned with the best  antenna setup possible for your setup. Power cord is the least of your worries.

Great musicians who should have been famous except....
Since drummers are in the spotlight-Rock particularly, don't forget Jeff Porcaro, who was a 70-80's studio go-to. Those not familiar, drummer in Toto.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_PorcaroImpressive  resume as far as pop music.His Wiki list ...

Van Halen 1984?"And is there a better lead in to ANY rock vinyl than that?"WHAT?!!  As a 16 year old in1978, I saw VH do one of their first  SoCal arena gigs to promote their debut album. I thought they were possibly one of the bands to carry the ... 
Special pressing LPs when the master was digitally recorded?
A novice succumbs to audio nervosa-concerns/worries of "the better recording." Just play a clean record and enjoy it.  That's what I do while reading these forums, eating breakfast.I do hear the LP version of a 1987 digital recording -1812 Overtur... 
The Poll Winners Ride Again!
The "Poll Winners" series are all good.I have albums with two favorite guitarists-Barney Kessel and Wes Montgomery. All period copies that play like new. Barney Kessel was one of the pre "wrecking crew" who did stuff for many artists,movies and TV... 
Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup
Linn is the other brand that seems to be loved or hated. Just like Rega, they wouldn't be around,long as they have, if they were doing things "wrong".I have heard a few of iterations of Linns over the decades, always nice. Just never drawn to own ... 
Air Tight PC-1 Coda and more options to upgrade my analog setup
"Linn LP12(with the upgrades),Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum, Luxman EQ-500."mayoradamwest-you're not messin' around...If I had to choose between that and the RP10, I would go Rega. Nothing negative about the Linn, but If I wanted to simplify,...
