| 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? @dabel Huh? Symphonies? I thought we were talking about hip hop and rap. theaudioatticvinylsundays.com | |
| 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... | |
| 50 years of Hip Hop- How Come? @dabel i have seen the first two perform live. Back in the 1970s. | |

| 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. | |
| Solving the "complex music problem"? Some good responses here. I agree with one commenter: room reflections matter. To cut down, try listening at a distance equal to the distance between the speakers, or just outside of it, so that the distances between you and any walls are increas... | |
| Best turntable under $4000 I’ve been using the following for 35+ years: - VPI HW 19 MK IV with SAM - Sumiko MMT - Koetsu - started with (“the old”) Black, currently the Onyx (“the old” onyx, made by The Madter) | |
| Tube or solid state Go to and scroll to the bottom. | |
| What I wish I knew before starting my audiophile journey In my 54 years in this hobby, I’ve owned …. 5 pairs of speakers. Your philosophy ain’t too far off. I don’t waste money on cables: they are at best 2% of my budget. I don’t even bother to mention them in the link below theaudioatticvinylsun... | |
| What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased? 1 - I started with a pair of Lafayette Criterions - bookshelf 2 - I moved up to a pair of Wharfedales, can’t remember the model - bookshelf 3 - I moved up to a pair of Altec Lansing 604Cs - floor 4 - I switched to a pair of Duntechs can’t remem... |
