| The Cartridge and Stylus makes a big difference. Btw, speaking of the-tipping, FYI to anyone who might be curious: I go through the risk of sending my cartridges across The Pond to The Netherlands in order to have Van denHul refurbish them, even though I live in Newburgh NY, a short 20 minute dr... | |
| Turning off tube preamp first sends solid state amp into protection? Don’t be lazy. The rule is quite simple: preamp on first, amplifier on last. Reverse for off. Its easy. Really. It is. | |

| The Cartridge and Stylus makes a big difference. 1 - First off, I take it as a given that anyone who posts here understands how critical the cartridge and stylus is to good vinyl analog sound. I don’t know why that would be a revelation, as others here have pointed out. 2 - the cartridge/tonearm... | |
| Personal vs. Market Values I think I’m some ways this is really simple. Trust your ears. Trust yourself. Act accordingly. | |
| What albums, in your opinion, sound unquestionably better on Vinyl rather than Digital? All other things being equal, which they are usually not, I’d say vinyl. Some disks are available only on CD. Since my vinyl collection is ten times larger than my CD collection, I’ve spent 10 times more on the vinyl playback equipment than the CD... | |

| How do you store and catalog your vinyl? I have about 5,000 LPs. They are stored on shelving that consists of 42 cubes, 15 x 15. I built them myself. They are divided into into three more or less equal sized categories: classical, Afro Cuban, and everything else. The classical is divided... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Geoffkait,blind tests are how science is done. i worked in pharma marketing for 25 years. Your meds don’t make it to market without blind testing with control groups. The rest is superstition, demagoguery, snake oil ... | |
| Sellers and "Ambiguity" or "Integrity" of "item as described" descriptions on eBay Audiogon community:Harold’s tone, syntax, grammatical style and emotional posture are suspiciously similar to the seller - a different name - that I had the unfortunate experience to contend with. Yes, I consider the case closed, it’s been a year.... |
