Why Don't More People Into Music Reproduction At Home Play Around With Musical Instruments
I come from a family of musicians who play guitar, piano, drums, and I personally have played guitar in rock, jazz, and tympani in marching bands, as well as percussion ensembles. I’m well aware of what acoustic and electric instruments on their o...

“It’s my ex” lol Those decks look awesome. That SP-20 came out beautifully! Phenomenal job. I immediately took screen shots to add to my audio porn pics. I’ve still got my pretty much fully KAB upgraded and modded 1200M3D from around 2000 or so an...

@chakster Great advice about a Japanese made DD Technics 1200, even if it’s an older used one, but I’d personally got for a new GR, as I did. It’s a phenomenal deck for the money. Also, an external phono pre is going to sound better than most inte... 
Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles?

Phono pre for Technics SL-1000R (Esoteric E-02?)

Tweaks - An Honest Discussion
@tvad  Oh man, did I just laugh!  
Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz.
Coltrane “Lush Life” seems easily palatable. I was in the same boat as far as not sure what to really look for, and this Coltrane album is what got me to explore jazz more deeply. Good luck! 
RIP Art Dudley
I saw this news on Ken Micallef’s YT channel, and honestly just kinda went numb after hearing this news. Art was always one of my absolutely favorite writers anywhere. I didn’t know the guy personally, but still felt a connection with him. He seem...

* I obviously meant to say that your new piece of gear IS NOT basted in bad juju, but I’m sure those of you who read my comment probably figured that one out. I do think now is the time to support smaller HiFi companies, especially those you want ...
