Non-violent, non-misogynistic hip hop for MC
Oh this takes no space in my head, it took all of 2 minutes of copy/paste. Simply made a separate thread because the previous ones were deleted, the only replies to the challenge were some French song and Bob Dylan (which is a micro-aggression in ... 
Interesting thought
I have played listening sessions at places like this all over the world. It’s certainly not a new nor novel idea. Shelter, TokyoBar Bridge, TokyoBrilliant Corners, LondonGiant Steps, LondonSpiritland, LondonHosoi, StockholmPotato Head, Hong KongDy... 
Where are the young audiophiles?
I know loads of young people into audio. Loads.

Happy to post lyrics to others if you can’t bear actually listening. 
Lack of Female Representation
The bigots are back. Yay.  
Millercarbon's Mega Moab Mod Meander
Back to Porsche for a sec... one of my clients worked for Singer and left eventually to start his own garage. We built out the garage itself. He's got some decent hifi in there even. Sorry, back to Moab. 
Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables?
Mats come and go, and it’s common for the best of them not to be recognized as such until they are no longer being produced, whereupon they become”rare” and the expensive. We audiophiles are a crazy bunch.Exactly haha. To be honest though, I've sp...

@albertporter Thanks for that detailed info on the TTM Monitor mat. It’s the best dive heard as well. I have the shinier one, looks like the 2nd iteration, I’m glad I went through the trouble having a friend hustle me one from a local market selle... 
Half speed masters. Are they worth the extra scratch?
I do have Beatles for Sale DMM and it may be the worst sounding record I own.Not a good match, a Beatles record from 64. Things like ECM records make more sense. 
transistor pre with the sound of tubes
There is NO such thing as "tube" or "transistor" sound! Only a CIRCUIT has a SOUND! The big advantage a solid-state device has over a vacuum tube is that the former is free from aging effects.If “only” a circuit then why does tube rolling change s... 
Half speed masters. Are they worth the extra scratch?
I've mastered a handful of releases at half speed, have one to do in 2 weeks time for a composer from the Bavarian State Opera who's completed a modern chamber music / electronic hybrid 2xLP. I find that works with vast dynamics suit half speed, a... 
Heat from amps?
I have Aleph 1.2 monos and they’re on almost all day, hot to touch and idle at 300w, but I feel no room temp change and I live LA. 
Half speed masters. Are they worth the extra scratch?
Half speed mastering has nothing to do with what speed you play it back at. It’s simply cut at a slower speed and the music is cut at half the speed, so when you play it back it’s back to normal. It just halves frequencies as they’re cut into lacq...

Nice photo @chakster ! 
Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables?
I’m using the TTM Monitor Mat, no complaints and is much better than the stock rubber (in either thickness). I’m curious to hear the difference l, however subtle, between my stainless mat and the Micro Seiki.I recall seeing the TTM mat in your sys...
