| Mike's Barn. Just another vanity video. Impressive gear, though! If I were single, my listening room would look similar. I'm not, so it doesn't. | |
| 2025 Rock-N-Roll Hall Of Fame Nominees After the last Hall of Fame induction ceremony, I learned that Jethro Tull is not among the groups enshrined there. The credibility of that institution, for me, is gone. Let’s hope that’s remedied in the not too distant future. | |
| “A complete unknown” We saw it on Christmas Day, and loved it. Go see it, and you won't be disappointed. Or, wait till it comes out on cable. In any case, you will like it! | |
| Linn LP12 turntable The road to a satisfying analog rig can be a long one. As you said, many audiophiles own, or have owned, an LP12. Like everything else, there are always conflicting opinions. In any case, the LP12 will be a big step up from your Project table. Con... | |
| What are you using to clean LP album covers? I have had success cleaning certain album covers with "NOVUS #1 Plastic Clean and Shine". You can buy it online. Test the album first in an inconspicuous place. I don't want to be responsible for damage to your collection. YMMV (Your mileage may v... | |
| Cartridge for Michell Gyro SE and SME 309 Just FYI, there is a Michell MC cartridge for sale here on Audiogon (The Music Room), within your stated budget. You might check it out. | |
| Cartridge for Michell Gyro SE and SME 309 I don't know if this will help you, but I have a Michell Gyro Dec turntable that I bought from a local stereo store. It was their demo table that was up and running, so I had the opportunity to hear it before I bought it. The sale included the car... | |
| Luxmann PD444 is up and spinning! I sold my mint Luxman PD444 table several years ago while we lived in the SF Bay Area. The guy who bought it had a heavy Russian accent. He just missed buying my Technics SP10 because someone had responded before him. I asked him how many turntabl... | |
| Moody Blues founder Mike Pinder passed away today at 82 Another Moody gone. That's just very sad news. I can't comment on who were the original members and who contributed what, but the Moodys were such a class act. I have all their albums on CD and vinyl and listen to them often. My favorites are "In ... | |
| Cardas Customer Service is Amazing! I have not had experience with Cardas, but I can say that I have had similar results with Kimber Kable. I bought a Kimber phono cable here on Audiogon, but I had an unacceptable amount of hum when connected to my system. I sent them to Kimber and ... | |
| Weirdest record defect? I went to listen to my new "The Best of Roxy Music" (double LP) and found that one record had the same label on both sides. So much for quality control. | |

| Turntable dust cover cleaning Use Novus #1 "Plastic Clean and Shine", and you'll never look back. | |
| What was your first record? The first was a 45. It was Elvis Presley’s "Hound Dog/Don’t Be Cruel". My first LP was "Rubber Soul" (Beatles, of course). I thought every song could be #1. What a record! | |
| Who has been an "Insider" with Audiogon? It’s hard to generalize about whether the quotes are "accurate" or not, but it helps me to recognize a price from a seller who is hoping to snag some newbie by pricing an obscure piece of gear at a ridiculous premium. The best examples for me are ... |
