Warped Records
SugarbrieThanks for idea. John Mellencamp's Lonesome Jubilee (New)arrived warped and unplayable. It sat for months until I remembered reading this thread. I put the Lp between two 14"X 24"X 1/2" slabs of granite, places it outside for 3 hours with... 
CDP to replace vinyl
look into an Esoteric DV-50 nice multi format player. The used one's are a good price now. 
Billy Preston Dies
Billy toured with Eric Clapton and his band in 2001. There is a DVD-V of the concert. It's well worth the price. He could bring it. RIP 
What are the best tubes for a VTL TL 2.5 Preamp?
Like Noble my VTL 2.5 uses 12AT7’s and 12AU7’s. I have tried the following 12AU7’s Golden Dragon, Ei, CIFTE and Telefunken. Except Golden Dragon, all sound pretty good but it was dependent on what 12AT7’s I was using at the time. My advise is to s... 
Best music store online or off?
I agree with Jlind325is Music Direct's vinyl is of a very poor quality. Also I have twice ordered Lp's. The web page says 1 to 2 day shipment. Then I get an email telling me it's on backorder. The sad part is there equipment and etc have always be...

Building a temporary wall
GeorgeThere are many ways to construct a wall, mine is only one of many. Yes self tapping was wrong but a lot easier than writing. "They have tiny little cutting blades on there tiny little heads." Interesting.. Wood vs. steel.. Digital vs. Vinyl....

Building a temporary wall
Michael is right! The beam and the floor above deflects (compresses) and will cause cracking. The 2x4 or steel stud channel which will be attached to the underside of the beam is used as a guide. The studs are cut a 1/4 to 3/8” short and the drywa... 
Building a temporary wall
Try pricing out steel 2x4 studs and 1/2” drywall. Steel studs are lighter and make less of a mess. They are also easy to cut. The drywall is attached with self-tapping screws. Good Luck 
Las Vegas
Yes, but I don't know where to start. Well maybe. Where does everyone shop for used vinyl? The only place I have found is ZIA Record Exchange which is on Eastern near Flamingo. 
can i transport apple lossless between pc & mac?
I switched from a pc to mac last year. I transfered all my music from the pc with my seagate portable hardrive formatted with fat 32. I have had it connected to my mac all this time and it has not given me any problems. 
Are the Beatles the reason why modern music exists
Buddy Holly influenced them along with Little Richard and many others. The Beatles took it to the next level with style. 
How do I decide on a CD player or adding a dac?
What ever you do don’t get a CAL Audio DAC. They are very expensive and the longer you have one the more it cost. I got rid of mine and I am still paying. You see it’s the tubes. It starts with a Tube DAC. Then you WILL say “This sounds really smo...
