What should I do with unwanted vinyl?
I'm going off memory with a short list. Most of these albums are early 70s rock, singer song writers such as Neil Young, Dan Fogleberg, Todd Rundgren (including a good copy of A Wizard/A True Star) and Emmy Lou Harris. I also have an excellent and... 
What should I do with unwanted vinyl?
Well I emailed Clio09 but my intention is to get an idea of the value of these, not to find a buyer. I suppose though a list may be in order. Also, I live in Indianapolis and have no intention of shipping these so whoever gets these must be nearby. 
Info, please, on power cord burn-in

Best CDP w/ headphone jack for under $1,000
The Sony XA7ES mentioned above is what you want. As another said, buy it used and sell it if not happy. 
What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock?
Never in a million years would I buy into the idiotic idea that these clocks could have any effect on an audio system's sound. That being said, when I look through the classified ads here and find used power cables listed at $2K plus and realize t... 
certin speaker makers harder to get dissounts fro
I learned a great bargaining tool from a guy who bought a used car from me once. This guy came to me with $100 dollar bills in the amount he was willing to pay for my car. It was considerably less than I wanted to take but couldn't resist the quic...
