Cartridge to turntable price ratio
Lewn, then don't read/answer it then. I wasn't asking for thoughts on my question. Before these answers I was thinking of upgrading my turntable before I broke the $2000 price point on a cartridge.  Now probably not. I know the system including th... 
Metro shelving for your audio gear?
I used it once on a large premium set up. Doesn't work as well as you think. Lots of vibration and you have to add solid shelving under most of your equipment. Cables are in view so have good cables. I had set up in an audio room in the basement. ... 
Please share photos of your Vinyl cabinet/shelving
All Boltz. Strong and sturdy but pricey when you add the wheels, backing and dividers for the shelves.   
WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD?
I had the W/P 7 in the front with Wilson Watch, all 3 powered by Mark Levinson 33H. In the rear I had Cub 2s also hooked up to ML amps. I loved them. No problems. Sounded unbelievable playing anything. Ex took them out of storage. Her friend sold ...

And I like the Band. I have all their albums on vinyl 
Robert Hunter unfortunately has died
So The Band, without Dylan, would have been playing between periods of a junior hockey league in Canada

Just to continue my rant. If you you don't like the GDs harmonies, don't listen to them. Not a big deal. You want good harmonies listen to Up Up With People. Where would the Dead be without RH? Where would Hendrix be without Dylan? Where would Cla... 
Robert Hunter unfortunately has died
Wow, an artist died and we argue about him. Every artist has their advocates and their detractors. I enjoyed him solo and especially with the work he did with Jerry and The Dead. I feel the OP was just paying his respects. If you disagree, it woul... 
Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music.
So Orpheus 10,  I usually read your posts, but I read a lot of posts and rarely comment. I do believe you explained both "there's no most important instrument" and poverty vs affluent very well. Doesn't mean there aren't any thugs. But thugs come ...

I'm not going to weigh in on which instrument is the most important in jazz. But I'm surprised Bill Evan's and Thelonious Monk haven't been mentioned  with Miles Davis and John Coltrane.

Orpheus, though Mathew  McConaughey is not from New Orleans, this is why so many local love this city. Even people that live in Louisiana but not  in New Orleans claim this city. https://youtu.be/AMFnOy_BEcMSaturday night I sat in my porch in this...

Yes, there is a department within the police department that grants a permit for parades including second lines. We have second lines for weddings and any celebrations. Conventions come down and if they have been here beforeand know they even have...
