| Forgotten heavy bands from late 60's to early 70's One of the best in the field hasn’t been mentioned. Nor are they in The R&R Hall of fame despite their selling out Shay stadium faster than the Beatles. Led Zeppelin refused to play after they opened. That band Grand Funk Railroad BTW, I like... | |
| When You Buy The Whole Album And Only Like One Song. @stuartk I have no problem with what other's like to listen. For me, it just doesn't move me. I've never really cared for female vocals but I tried to see what it might do over a good system. Again, it just doesn't move me.I like some jazz IE Da... | |
| I'm trusting FedEx/ UPS less by the day @immatthewj I too have an attached garage. I also have a covered front porch. I can't tell you how many times the UPS guy has left a package in front of the garage. I suppose it saves the 30 steps or so. One time I was expecting a tablet and ha... | |

| Is it ok to stack LPs horizontally? I’ve played records as long as most any one here and I don’t believe the warpage is the reason Not to store horizontal. I believe @billzame may be right about the bottom records becoming damaged. I’ve sorted through and bought many records that we... | |
| When You Buy The Whole Album And Only Like One Song. Even if you are a true music lover (many aren't) your musical taste buds must be trained just as your taste buds for food must be trained. The first time I heard Led Zeppelin in '69, I didn't care for it. But it touched something to the point that... | |
| Installing dedicated 10 gauge lines Unfortunately there is no crawlspace, between my room and the ground floor, and no attic as there are vaulted ceilings with spray foam insulation. FWIW my system is also in a room with cathedral ceiling. Yet I still have an attic in which I ca... | |

| Need Help Matching to This System To Speakers Watkins Gen 4 I am not related but have known & bought from them for 40 yrs and live 2-3 miles from where they are made. They are honest & dependable. If I were in the market for bookshelves, they would be on my short list. They demo the... | |
| Conrad Johnson GAT preamp - ugly? There are things to look at and thing to be heard. I like to look at landscapes & pretty women, not necessarily in that order. I like to listen to music, thunderstorms and a soothing voice. I'd also love to look at gold...a full safe of GOLD!!... | |
| CD Tweaks: An Update OK, Lemme see here. Yeah, I got a sacrificial disc. Sure, Ive seen crazier things work. I wonder is ceramic coating would be better? Or even the new fangled Graphene coating, as used on cars? BTW don't worry about what others think. They're going ... | |
| How do I get the best soundstage? The phono preamp is as important as the turntable itself. The cartridge is the last in the vinyl chains as far as importance. Of course you need a good cartridge. But Origin live says to spend 30% of budget on each, TT, Arm & Phono preamp and ... | |
