| Surprised at how turntable sounds If you are interested in vinyl, all the replies here are helpful. I'd add to them: consider a used turntable/arm/cartridge setup. Personally, if I didn't own ~500 vinyl albums (collected over decades), I wouldn't bother. Yes, they sound fine bu... | |
| Relocated, new, much smaller listening space. Need speakers that won't break the bank Perhaps Magnepan LRS+ might work for your small area. | |
| Found a great duster on Amazon! Every OXO product I've tried is first class: inexpensive, well-made, good design. | |
| Your turntable history Revealing my age (indirectly)... Garard 301 (given me by my father when I was in high school: long gone) C.J. Walker (a VPI-like table: gone) VPI HW 19 Jr (very few hours on it: saved it in the event I want to use the motor) VPI HW 19 Mk 1 (bough... | |
| Estate planning question The number of postings suggesting that many audiophiles are finding their stylus closing in on the final groove...and that their coveted equipment is worth little to most people is...discouraging. | |
| Visited a Store and was shunned I recall (before the advent of online sellers) when the people who sold stereo equipment were really into the hobby and auditioning items for potential customers was a pleasure for all involved. Same comment on record stores. A little rapport som... | |
| I built what Tidal and Qobuz won't. And people are loving it. So, to use this a subscription to some service like "Tidal" is required and another subscription to your app, as well? | |
| FREE HIGH-END AUDIO SETUP CONSULTATIONS Am I correct in my understanding that you are offering free, no obligation system set-up/tune-up advice?? If so, I'm interested. Thanks, Keith in Portland (Oregon) | |
| Best concert you've attended Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band with It's a Beautiful Day at the Fox West Coast in Long Beach circa 1972. Close second place: Blodwyn Pig at The Splinter Brothers and Sisters Warehouse, Phoenix, same era. Jethro Tull at the Phoenix College G... | |
| Pandora again, and now Spotify too... gkelly, thanks for that important information! | |
| Pandora again, and now Spotify too... Does the WiiM stream Apple Music, too? I didn’t notice it included in supported services | |
| bdp24? He lives (or did live a few years ago) in Portland, OR. In fact, I bought my VPI HW-19 turntable from him. He helped me measure the arm board and correctly position the hole for my tonearm (Moerch UP-4). I was hoping to have him return to audition... | |
| cats and speakers - looking for clues I have had both cats and speakers for decades and haven't had any issues. First of all, I have a separate audio/tv room in my basement. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a door. So, I simply put a shower curtain on an expanding rod across the entry... | |
| Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull I was a big fan in the pre-Aqualung days (Benefit, Stand Up, This Was) I saw them in Phoenix, AZ in the Phoenix College Gym (sometime in the late 60s). There were ~200 people in the audience all sitting on the floor. I was a couple of feet from ... | |
| Things that “blow your mind” The most memorable was the very first time I heard the debut album by "It's a Beautiful Day" at a uniquely bizarre party held shortly after the album was originally released. I'll spare young readers the details, but it was an amazing night...one ... |
