Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs
@stuartk Totally understand, different stereos render different results. I have Quad 2905 ESL’s and they are very revealing. I will say that ESL’s while great for classical music don’t work all that well with rock/popular music. I wouldn’t say how...

@curiousjim I believe the Gold Archival CD’s have a life expectancy of three hundred years. I personally won’t be around to find out.

@stuartk I believe that ‘Layla’ remaster was relatively recent. If you like Eric kClapton, then I’d recommend the ‘Blind Faith’ remaster from many, many years ago. They did a remix that warrants having, even if the original is highly prized. The o...

@stuartk Agree that MOFI is inconsistent but believe it has a lot to do with the original tapes and whoever does the remastering. I‘m not much of a collector when it comes to popular music, so I rarely purchase MOFI releases but will say that I us...

The only reason to purchase MOFI is for the mix and remastering. I happen to think Analogue Productions does a better job of that than MOFI. Anyway, Gold CD's are archival but they sound like any other CD. Better of buying audiophile CD polish and... 
RIP Robbie Robertson
What a shame. I often made the argument that 'The Band' is Americas greatest rock/etc... band aside from the Grateful Dead. That probably speaks more to my age than anything else. Anyway, the 60's in general and those who appeared at Woodstock 69 ... 
I Hate Moving
@mr_m Yeah, wish I had a great pair of headphones. Neighbors are moving in on August 1st so we’ll see.

Well folks, everything has been relocated to my new apartment. I’m sore, tired and relieved all at the same time. Now I have the dilemma of setting up my stereo and Quad 2905’s and I need to make it happen with considerably less space than I had b...

@fred60 Sorry you have to sell. You should keep the Thorens, you’ll only get a couple hundred dollars for it.

@perkri yeah, stereo is first. Me and a friend are taking care of that by ourselves. Then a couple of days later, the movers are taking things, heaviest objects first. I can only afford three hours of movers so after they leave, then whatever is l...

I gotta downsize. Should I keep my box of Gramophone Magazines? The absolute worse part is carrying vinyl. And books.

@bondmanp 'I cried because I had no shoes, then I saw a man with no feet.' Wow, your situation is difficult to say the least. Thanks everyone for your input, it feels better knowing that I'm not alone. I believe Sunday afternoon will be move the ...

@simao My martial arts family will be invited for a house warming party. No fighting inside!

I do have a hand truck and friend who's willing to help. Pizza, beer, that's the plan. @carlsbad2 Yeah, bubble wrap is slippery so thanks! @ghdprentice When I inherit my folks house, that's my only hope.  
Mac Mini As A Streaming Source
@vthokie83 Improving sound over time, is for me what this hobby is all about. It’s definitely a marathon and not a sprint. Given that we’re currently living in a digital renaissance and digital technology is changing so rapidly, we all have to adj...
