| Getting what I paid for - gut check please! Red Flags all over the place. It seems you're uncomfortable with the way the whole thing transpired. Plenty of good DACs at all price points. If you can return it, do it. And check out any and all issues that are important to you before your next... | |
| Streaming Is To Audio What Red Plastic Cups Are To Wine "Vinyl is it!" Oy vey. I LOVE vinyl. I've been collecting since teenage years quite a few decades ago, except for the years when CD's took over. I have a collection I love - after all I selected what I like, so I ought to love it.

| Transfer digital library using Free Your Music Good questions. Please start your own thread to learn about this. I started this thread to get some help/advice for my own situation. Best to you. | |

| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Turntable working on and off @msale - I want to thank you, again for writing out those directions for cleaning the turntable. I finally got to it last night. OMGosh, I went through 10 or so Q-Tips in cleaning it out. But it's good now, and after I put the fresh lubricant on... | |

| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Turntable working on and off @mswale - that's terrific. Thank you! I've been searching online and on YouTube for good tutorials on how to care for a TT, but not coming up w/ anything too good. It's all about how to set up a TT. For example, I don't know to properly clean th... | |
