Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers?
I tried my best to listen to the entire song, then judge.https://video.search.yahoo.com/video/play;_ylt=Awr46ueuk0RcKUoAAXu5mWRH;_ylu=X3oDMTByZ2N0cmxpBHNlYwN...Lasted 30 seconds. Even closed my eyes to get past the lead singers goofy,over done,try... 
Mahogany Rush
If you were a teenage kid learning guitar in the mid 70's, Frank Marino  and Mahogany Rush was one of the bands to follow, alongside the usual suspects.I was too young to catch the 60's gods in their prime, so FM, Robin Trower, and a few others-Jo... 
Marvin Gaye "What's Going On" new 45RPM MOFI UD1S
I enjoy reading  these threads of audio geek pressings.It inspires me to see if I have a period press, and play something I may have not heard for while.Pulled out my 1971 Tamla TS 310 copy. Fortunately, it had a US cleaning before its last play, ... 
The quest for the hot stamper or is it a myth
"Captain Fantastic, I really wanted the newer looking and much quieter sounding copy to sound better. But it was no contest. The noisy one that nevertheless sounds so much better goes back on the shelf. It really does sound good! I mean just amazi... 
New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts
fsmithjack-Your choice for another go around is a serious piece. Along with the Chinook, If it doesn't grab you, maybe your ears simply prefer  digital perfection?If I were  getting a top notch table like that, I would up the cart budget if possib... 
Unexpected Tom Petty "stamper" discovery
I clearly remember gravitating towards the $3.69 sale bins,or going to the used stores for $1.00  or less, for current, hardly played  albums.During the 70/80's, 7-8 dollars for an album was outrageous to me! 
Leather finish
This will help getting opinions:http://hansenaudio.comAccording to the site, it's faux leather. Pleather. Based on its appearance, I'm guessing it has an M.S.R.P to match the "high end" vibe?Because of that, I say...FAIL. It should have real leath... 
FM vs. HD RADIO.... anybody think FM is better?
After hearing a REL Precedent and Marantz10B in ideal conditions,I can't imagine HD  being more convincing.Having not heard a home HD  broadcast, I'm quite curious. I don't know if I could give up my humble Mac MR71, for a "modern" SS tuner.  
The quest for the hot stamper or is it a myth
millercarbon-At least you can return it if it doesn't play as advertised.What grade is it...hot, super hot or WHITE HOT?Unless the copy you purchased hasn't been taken off the site, I see a super hot for $250. Considering an average copy will go f... 
New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts
"Sure they are new and no disrespect to Rega owners but not sure the Apheta 2 is the greatest cart either."fsmithjack-I think final opinion on the cart is premature , because you DIDN’T hear it through a tube phonostage. Doesn’t necessarily need t... 
New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts
fsmithjack-That system certainly wasn't entry level, although I personally would  have gone tube phonostage.Still curious if you've heard a table based system you liked?20K worth of table,cart, and phonostage.No fancy cables and doodads, can sound... 
No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
This has been an entertaining read.The thread title was enough to know what's coming...What kind of "relavent data" is necessary? What is a manufacturer expected to answer?5 pages of comment, and  no real direction from the OP.Just subjective opin... 
Unexpected Tom Petty "stamper" discovery
wlutke-I looked at my copy MCA 2015- DJ- 55.3cryptic stuff. Gold embossed on cover, has me thinking its some kind of promotional copy? I have many albums like that.Bases on what I posted earlier, TP's albums just aren't in demand. It's not a Beatl...
