For a short run, it's easier just to troubleshoot individual units. But chassis volume is at a premium, and hand-work, lik... | |
| Are your records a health concern? The article also addresses Mahler's point: "(is) vinyl ... the superior listening medium? Spoiler alert: it's not ..." Which, it seems to me, tells you all you need to know about this source. But, to address his major point, a little perspective ... | |
