Acoustic Sounds Customer Service
I have had great customer service from Acoustic Sounds. I bought a few records recently that the sound quality was not to my liking. They took them back and gave me full credit. I did not mind paying the shipping cost whatsoever. If I buy a new re... 
What equipment or event thrust you into the hobby?
My brother used to take me to a store called Audioland. It was on the east side of Detroit. They carried Mid-fi and high end. My brother was constantly changing speakers. I would go with him and wander into the high-end rooms. I didn't know what t...

"Be thankul, it's the Taters out there that make one less person searching for the same albums you are"You should also be thankful that people like myself support Acoustic Sounds, Music Direct and Elusive Disc. Otherwise there would be no new viny... 
Want to Start vinyl
Here's the bottom line for me. I would rather call Nate at Acoustic Sounds and order the highest quality vinyl on the planet than spend 8 hours looking for used vinyl and maybe finding 2 to 3 records that are listenable. In the 8 hours someone is ... 
Want to Start vinyl
"Don't listen to the haters" No one is hating. Were just saying that if you don't have a collection already there is no point in bothering with vinyl. As far as buying used vinyl goes it's very hit or miss. I have bought 30 used records in the pas...

If you don't already have a record collection I would not bother. It's getting harder to find good used vinyl and new vinyl is very expensive.

I told my friend the other day that I just got my analog rig working after being in the shop for a couple of months.He asked me does it still have that vinyl sound. I said I hope so the last thing I would want is to have my TT setup to sound like ... 
Anyone going to see the Police?
I was a teenager when this band was popular in the early 80's.They were no big deal then and even less of a deal now. I guess music is so mediorce nowadays people are holding on to their memories for better or worse. 
Upgrade for Vpi aries table
The dealer told me the motor upgrade cost 695.00. Where do you get it for 150.00. 
HiFi lacking social recognition?
I'm a coin collector and we are also known as nerds, Eccentrics and weirdos. Being a coin collecter and a audiophile is not geared to the mainstream. If you tell a regular Joe that you spent 1000.00 for a 1 meter interconnect or that you spent 10,... 
Anyone remember The Warehouse?
Is that weirdo Dr. Jack still around? I'll never forget walking into his store in the early 80's and he takes out the reviews and tells me what to buy without listening to it. I think his store is called the Sound Factor located in Southern Califo...

Where do you find these records? I have never heard of them.
