| What was your first big eye opener with regard to audio? Oh, and that GEM Dandy rubber cork compound turntable mat I got for 15% off wasn't a bad upgrade either! blindjim - That's one heck of a moniker! | |
| What was your first big eye opener with regard to audio? Finding out, if you don’t have a lot of money to spend many thousands of dollars on hardware separates you can still get good sound - with modifications of what modest system you already have. But don’t get it twisted! It adds up pretty damn quick... | |
| Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank With my latest interconnect upgrade I have come to enjoy the price point and quality of sound in both the KLEI™Absolute Harmony Plugs and shielded Duelund DCA20GA interconnects from my turntable (yes I’m a crate digger) to the tube phono preamp wi... | |
| Looking for great jazz guitar recordings - any recommendations? + 1 @pipebro,How could I forget about Szabo? Did anyone mention Zappa? | |
| Looking for great jazz guitar recordings - any recommendations? +1 On Wes Montgomery and George Benson. Especially the recordings produced by Creed Taylor of CTI with them being engineered and recorded by Rudy Van Gelder. The sound quality of a Rudy Van Gelder engineered album is some of the sweetest music I h... | |
| Turntable Mat question I replaced my stock Technics SL-D2 turntable mat with a GEM Dandy rubber cork compound mat and enjoy the quietness it brought to my ’daily driver’ very much. It’s also not to expensive at $60 and they always go on sale for less. And be aware that ... | |
| Increasing gain for your vinyl front end when pre-amp doesn't quite have enough juice @bstatmeister Please, please, please (a little James Brown here) don’t put those Vandersteen Model 2C’s out to pasture! There may be a speaker recone kit made specifically for those babies. To save money you could buy the kits and do it yourself o... | |
| Disco...yep, I'm going there @millercarbonThe Bee Gees were far better lyricists or should I say song writers period than a whole lot of groups regardless of genre. They wrote songs like ’I started a joke’ (which I think you can relate to) and many others that were covered by... | |
| Disco...yep, I'm going there I really did like groups like BT Express, Chic and the Bee Gee's especially because they were good writers of song and music. But in the seventies I was mostly into some good ole funk like p-funk and George Duke and for the life of me, at the time... | |
| What's your go-to cheapie cartridge? I took a chance and bought a used Shure V15VxMR MM cartridge for 220 CAN which ended up being $150 bucks US hoping nothing was wrong with it as they normally go for $500 and installed a JICO SAS VN5xMR stylus and to my surprise it worked just fine... | |

| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? Speaking of rock and roll, Mother’s Finest with that Southern rock aint bad either. And the band was really from the south, not like CCR who played a heap of blues but was from Frisco. Although I have to admit, more classic rock, funk, soul, blues... | |
| Cost of Shipping Records Well I took a que from you good brothers and sisters here and did some internet record shopping for exactly what I want rather than just crate digging and actually found and online record shop that does not charge for shipping after a $20 or more ... | |
| Cost of Shipping Records Man! Now, I’m glad the only thing I can afford in vinyl is used albums by crate digging... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? Good folks, I had never even heard of this band before. They wereout of Detroit and became a ’group’ in 1964. The group was is called MC5. Check out their tune ’Motor cities burning’ and others on you tube. They were punk long before the Ramones a... |
