| UPS. Friend Or Foe? No one has mentioned our beloved United States Postal Service (USPS). Here they go under the bus. Had to ship my XA25 to Pass Labs In Auburn, CA for a minor repair. $276 later including $5000 insurance, it was shipped on Jan 3, with arrival expe... | |
| Cart adjustment, that moment when you nail it! What was your last tweak that “nailed it”? | |
| Is my anti-skating too strong. As I was writing the post I realized that it was a “duh” question about disabling anti-skate. MC’s thoughts on the amplitude of the test track make sense and will be factored in. Anxious to get back to work and will give no antiskate a try as we... | |
| Purchasing vinyl online Thanks for the input. I have made many purchases from Better Records and have not been disappointed. I'm glad many of you have had good experiences with Discogs, I will try again and be a little more selective and research sellers reviews. I h... | |

| Selling on Audiogon I haven’t sold anything on either site but I’m considering selling a pair of used speakers with a few dings and scratches. I really just want to test the market. They are bookshelves that I paid $3k for that I will hope to sell for half the pric... | |
| Frustrated with Vinly The vinyl experience has been quite a learning curve and is indeed frustrating. A couple of years ago I purchased a Rega Planar 3 turntable and found that my digital sources sounded better. My power supply was part of the problem and so a power ... | |
| Upgrade cartridge or turntable? Lots of great and practical advice here. I have spent extra on isolation platform and power conditioner after I purchased the TT because frankly, it didn’t sound too good. Those two items were more than the cost of the Rega, but they did make a h... | |
| What equipment upgrades or tweaks will improve the sound of drums? Thanks for all of the suggestions and comments. One of the first things I did a while back was to deal with the power issue. I noticed that when a dehumidifier ran, sound sucked. So, a Torus Power Conditioner, dedicated line, etc, reduced those... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? How could I forget Wilson Pickett | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? A few of my purchases today from Record Stop, Patchogue NY The Super Hits Vol 1 & 2 from Atlantic Records 1968. Aretha, Rascals, Otis, Sam & Dave. Sounds pretty damn good. Also Chuck Mangione Fun & Games. Good purchases 4.99, 3.99... | |
| Long Island, NY - Audio Syndrome Is the club still active? I'm seeing posts from 2013 and most recently 4-26-18. Is there anybody out there? | |
| Aretha, favorite recordings? As my system improved I hoped to hear a better Aretha. Not to diminish her power or her talent, the recordings seemed harsh and brittle. Speaking to an audio guru about this topic, he claimed that the mikes at the time couldn’t handle the power o... | |
| Nominees For Worst Recording Of All Time I have that one too, will check it out. Sounded great at a teen with a lousy system. | |
| Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"? Well, since I left I dug out my early pressing of Tattoo You and it was a gem. Visited a couple of my local record shops and came away with an Emotional Rescue and today picked up a pretty good looking London pressing of Get Your Ya Yas Out. Good... |
