CD RACK
They have been around for thirty years.  They are great racks, just remember to dust your CDs once in a while.  
I'm broke Albert Collins
Albert's sense of humor ranked right up there with his guitar playing.  He is greatly missed.

Turn up the volume!
Thankfully, its beginning to dawn on the industry that streaming doesn't allow the loudness wars, only the volume control should. I hope it is beginning to dawn on them.  I'll believe it when I hear it.  
MoFi controversy
Well, MoFi has apologized and promises to do better: mobilefidelity on Instagram: "We at Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab are aware of customer complaints regarding use of digital technology in our mastering chain. We apologize for using vague language,...

@twoleftears Interesting article. Plenty of opportunity to mention that their modified Studer contains an analog to digital converter and why they do the transfer this way, but no mention of it at all. In the youtube video with the MoFi masterin...

MoFi controversy
I don’t buy vinyl but there are some facts that should be stated before this takes off. MoFi takes a modified tape deck to wherever the master tapes they are going to reissue are stored (I’m sure that most labels don’t let the master tapes of the...
