| Getting into vinyl for the first time Congrats on your new TT! Buying vinyl takes me back to the 80s when record stores were everywhere! Main thing is to have fun! Here's my two cents: check out some accessories (you may have them already): stylus cleaner, record cleaner, maybe an upg... | |

| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change I love music and gear---I enjoy trying new things whether it's speakers, cables or whatever. Even on a college budget, I used to try new equipment that my buddies at the local hifi store would let me borrow for a few days or so. I would put gear o... | |
| You tube hifi influencers. Love them or hate them? Does anyone know what happened to Markonhifi?? He had some good reviews and his channel was growing----then poof! He suddenly disappeared. Very odd. | |
| You tube hifi influencers. Love them or hate them? I agree with most of the opinions here. Some of the British reviewers are quite good--I like them better than some of the ones over here. I really despise the reviewers who claim they have found their 'end system' only to review new components a m... | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love I purchased an NAD integrated and CDP from a reputable online store a few years ago when I started building my second system. They were the most bland sounding components I've ever owned. Thank goodness the store had a great return policy---I coul... | |
| Seeking Honest Opinions: Your Experience with McIntosh Audio Gear I was looking at McIntosh gear a few years ago when I was shopping for a new integrated. But they are quite deep in length and wouldn't fit on my audio racks. I ended up getting a Luxman instead. | |
| OCD mickey website and negativity. I enjoy his reviews---he's a breath of fresh air and I appreciate his honesty when it comes to reviews. I believe he truly tries to help people. Speaking of reviewers, does anyone know what happened to Markonhifi??? He completely disappeared from ... | |
| Does a turntable mat make any difference? It's not a huge change in sound but I replaced my original felt pad on my VPI with a rubber one. It did help reduce the static electricity I got with the felt pad. | |
| Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore? I had a nice Denon tuner back in the 80s as well---I enjoyed the alternative college stations and the Saturday night DJ dance mix shows. Now, I rarely even listen to FM in the car and my system hasn't had a tuner in 20+ years simply because curren... | |
| 2024 Audio System Wish List I'll play too---one of the first things I purchased after Xmas was a Petru Design graphic visualizer/record stand. I've seen them all over Instagram so I decided to get one as well. Super cool looking and it reminds me of the graphic equalizers fr... | |
| I’m looking for an sleek integrated amp under $15k How about the new Luxman 507Z for about $9K? Rave reviews. | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. Pet Shop Boys - Behavior. Their serious, melancholy album from 1990. Beautiful from beginning to end. | |
| CANTON SPEAKERS For what it's worth---I have a pair of Canton Karat 200s from 1986 (made in West Germany). I have them in my vintage system and they still sound awesome.I also have Dynaudio Special 40s and Tekton Lore References. They can compete with all of them. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I miss the EQs from the '80s. I had a Denon DE-70 which I regret selling. Wish they were still around. |
