| How to find the good CD recordings? I’m just starting to take CD seriously, and for the first time, installed some digital equipment in my main system. The difference in sound among different CDs of the same album is as dramatic as the differences in vinyl LP pressings of the same r... | |
| What time do you wear? @inna- funny, I just mentioned you in another thread about ultrasonic record cleaning that I hadn’t seen you post for a while.I’m not a heavy wristwatch collector- I’m aware of the market and have a few odds and ends, an old Rolex, a fancy chronog... | |
| if I buy an ultrasonic cleaner for my records will I be able to hear the difference? I wonder what happened to user @inna? (He was a frequent poster here for a while). What does this have to do with your question? He sent me a somewhat noisy record he had a couple copies of, and was curious to know whether my cleaning methods woul... | |
| Audiodesk Vinyl Cleaner Pro - Drying Issue @marktomaras - it might be worth a call to Robert Stein, the importer, if you are in the U.S. The one thing I’d be a little wary of, given the mechanics of the machine, is messing with the record while it is spinning. And if it is the lips that ar... | |
| Audiodesk Vinyl Cleaner Pro - Drying Issue Thanks for the kind words, @cto007 When I had the Audio Desk it would leave wet spots, I suspect much had to do with the 'lips' being wet from the wash cycle-- i know there was a modification on the original version to ameliorate that. Haven't use... | |
| Blocking the propaganda @glupson- This place is relatively tame in my experience. I did a lot of legal work in the era when the Internet was first exploding, and I dealt with a variety of characters, from hard core hackers to people involved in various crimes that would ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Speed, Glue and Shinki-"Eve"; Heron Oblivion (studio album); Black Sabbath "Heaven and Hell" (Dutch Vertigo), Bliss, "Things to Come" (EMI ASD); Atomic Rooster- "Death Walks Behind You," plus some others. | |
| Blocking the propaganda @glupson- don't freak on @geoffkait - he's an interesting, quirky character here, and I doubt he meant anything personal by what he said. You were just the target of convenience for his humor, which is actually pretty funny sometimes if you spend ... | |
| Blocking the propaganda @n80- I agree that there is as much snark in the car world on the Internet, but because most of the fora are marque specific, it filters out a lot of people who would go on Rennlist (or whatever) and trash Porsches in favor of something else. Most... | |
| Bob Marley on vinyl? The "one" to buy in my estimation is the German manufactured Box Set from 1982. There's been a fair amount written about it- it was produced by Island a year after Bob's death and omits one album that was released posthumously but it compares very... | |
| Blocking the propaganda Any Bentley after W.O. lost the company isn’t really a Bentley (though I like the ’50s era Continental fastback). | |
| YOUTUBE and Vinyl are gonna bankrupt me! Are we talking about new bands or older bands (with potential reissues?)Bandcamp is a wonderful tool to explore if you have some patience and are willing to take risks. Most of those records are not "audiophile" quality, but neither are many of th... | |
| Blocking the propaganda +1 @tomcy6 I think I first started posting here (rather than just searching) when I was considering the transition from Crosby Quads to horns. I got some good input from a number of people, including Fred Crowder, who owned Crosby Quads and had mo... | |
| Blocking the propaganda @fsonicsmith -M. Fremer is a "kibitzer" in the good Yiddish sense of the word. There's a pretty well-known Lenny Bruce schtick about NY'ers that I'll have to dig out... | |
| Blocking the propaganda I understand your disenchantment with the commercial magazines, but filtering out 100% of what you read on the audio boards as well?I’ve found this board very helpful on set up quirks or optimization questions-I agree that one should approach anyt... |
