One of the great things about Vinyl
@emrofsemanon  Maybe you need better quality turntable/arm/cartridge? After the lead in groove, I have little to no surface noise.   
Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older?
Of the 6,000+ LPs that I own, about 800 are from that 12-22 years old age window (for me, more like 9-25 years, 1963-1979, more or less), which included rock n roll, rock, folk, psychedelic, and some classical, jazz, gospel and blues. In my 20s, ...

50 years of Hip Hop- How Come?
@coltrane1 I do not use whether or not something was a hit as criteria for judging the quality of music or it’s lack thereof. Quality is not a popularity contest. The guy who was voted president at my high school in my senior year had the IQ of ... 
50 years of Hip Hop- How Come?
@coltrane1  I may or may not know how to compose, but I can say with 1,000,000% certainty that you do not know how to read. As for the number of so-called hits, has it occurred to you that that is a contributing factor in why I loathe his work? I... 
50 years of Hip Hop- How Come?
@ghasley I moved to the East Village of NYC in 1972. For one year, I lived upstairs from the Nuyorican Poets Cafe (where I got married 20 years later), where I met Miguel Pinero, Miguel Algarin, and many of the other founders of slam poetry, a c... 
50 years of Hip Hop- How Come?
I am not a fan of todays rap and hip hop.  It is violent and misogynistic.  It hits one emotional note: anger.  And it’s been stripped of revolutionary rebelliousness. It is just product.    it wasn’t always that way.    The Last Poets are consi...

50 years of Hip Hop- How Come?
@simao I live in/next to … we call them “depressed areas” these days, a soft phrase in the manner of George Carlin. The … noise … blasting out of apartment windows and car audio systems on a daily basis is predominantly full of hate, anger, vio...

Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig?
98% of my listening experience is vinyl.   
50 years of Hip Hop- How Come?
I don’t think of 98% of the genre as music.    it’s also promotes violence and misogyny.    I can think of only 2 or 3 artists from the genre that I like.    To those who think I’m being just like my parents: sometimes something that is not a c... 
The Impossible Has Happened
Lol. Both options remind my of Crazy Eddie: “His prices are insane!” Both options are … insanely … expensive. I would never consider either of them. Over the 54 years I’ve had this hobby, I’ve spent no more than $30,000. The most recent visito... 
Best turntable under $4000
I don’t understand why some people recommend Technics. At best, entry level. I think if it as a general consumer item. DJs love them.    I have been using the VPI HW for 38 years. For the last 10, the MK IV with SAM.
