Santiago, I just started playing piano a few weeks ago. When I played a piece for the first time, everything seems to go smoothly. Then I try to perfect it. This is when my fingers sort of lose coordination and start to stutter. I don't know if Co...

Wow, I didn't think my ludicrous endeavor will illicit so many responses. I do feel a lot better since lastnight when I wrote these dialogues. Ofcourse, when I finally went to bed at 2am, I took my laptop with me and continued researching analog s...

then I'd be more than glad to hold on to your 400 records while you're galantly contributing to our country's GDP while away in a foriegn land.I would think physicists are the least rational (in a good way) of all scientific and engineering people...

Wellfed,No, yesteryear didn't present any stigma to me. Maybe it would have if we're talking about fashion. I never heard of Currier and Ives so maybe that's why. My first inclination is to think it is some kind of hand lotion if I didn't read it ...

Wellfed, You pretty much stabbed another one of my irrationalities in the heart that I haven't exposed in this thread yet. The main reason I have stayed away, thus far, from analog is because of the lack of availability of the software of music I ...

GMC and TVAD, thanks for showing me the "real" darkside of this analog madness. As I am, so far, on the outside looking in, I feel like I am in a safer and warmer place. And the rest of you, thank you for your support and suggestions. However, I p... 
Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas
Thanks for the input Slipknot. I have a lot of old LPs that might be in need of such a solution. I just don't have an LP player at the moment to test the stuff out with.

Battery powered DAC
Thanks for your contribution Piedpiper. May I ask what are the sonic differences you heard between the Ack and the Nixon? Which Nixon did you audition? And, briefly, what's your system like?

I don't understand Jeff's logic at all. Just because he is not a chemist; therefore, he is not interested in tests conducted to ensure the safety of his records and argues others should also not care as well? 
Starter Turntable
I don't believe in the "I am a newbie thus i want the cheapest good tt available" strategy.I was intimidated by all the cartridge/arm/table dilemnas too. However, after doing research on the net for about a week, I am pretty confident about purcha...

My nephew loves using WTFH.I personally invented a slew of acronyms based on Chinese lingos but using Latin alphabets used when chatting with my Chinese friends on AIM while studying.NGM=Ni Gan Ma=What are you doing?XLB=Xiao Lon Bao=Some Chinese d... 
Sound is too thin. What to upgrade, add or remove?
I think you need atleast 4 ft from backwall and atleast 4 ft from the drawer thing in the middle. These are probably mentioned but just wanted to repeat for the sake of being repetitive.I definitely agree with moving the preamp off the cd player t...
