Better Records Hot Stampers: Or, how I learned to stop collecting and love listening
Gotta say--after some good/bad experiences with Discogs--what a crap shoot--i went to Better Records--i've only bought 2--one Hot and one White Hot--and honestly i couldn't tell the difference between those two classifications but both were absolu... 
Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists?
i agree it's not a serious question--"better sound" is in the ear of the beholder regardless of how they arrive at it, but i would think whichever of them is stoned gets the "better sound"

8-Tracks and Open-Reels: Who’s Got ‘Em and Whatcha Got?
If you recorded your own cassettes then yes, better than 8 track--but IMO prerecorded 8T better than most prerecorded cassettes mainly b/c of tape speed.  I have cassettes recorded on Nak cr-4A which is still in my system but the tapes haven't rea... 
8-Tracks and Open-Reels: Who’s Got ‘Em and Whatcha Got?
@oldhvymec:   Ahh the good old days when we could drink and fix anything--ok, maybe not well but make it work.  Up until about 10 years ago i kept a Realistic 8 track player in my system just because i had a bunch of 8 track tapes i liked--i disag... 
RMAF is no more
What !!!!  Is there a link to this announcement?  I can believe cancelled for this year but why would they just dump the whole thing for the future?  And who's in charge of determining that ?!
