| Vinyl Buyers: The Premium Price Vinyl v. Cheap Vinyl Ratio tablejockey, none of those artists have ever been popular enough in the United States to show up at yard sales. Los Panchos, maybe, but none of the others. | |
| Vinyl Buyers: The Premium Price Vinyl v. Cheap Vinyl Ratio I was referring to overseas shipping, not domestic, which is no sweat. For kicks I tried a few artists I’ve bought LPs of by mail on the linked site, and found none of them:Trio Los PanchosCompagnons de la ChansonOwen BranniganHarry Secombe (singi... | |
| The Most Digital Recording You Ever Heard You mistake me - I'm a digital guy, and remain won over to the CD, but no one can deny that back in the earlies there were some really dodgy digital recordings coming out, and I was asking if any particular ones stuck out. | |
| If there’s an audiophile exit ramp, this ain’t it… It's sort of like a heroin addiction if your habit was limited by your income and you could sell your old heroin. | |
| Is improvisational jazz to impressionism art as smooth jazz is to realism art? All jazz is improvisational, and there's no reason why "smooth jazz" couldn't be. It's sort of the definition of jazz. Are you perhaps confusing "improvisational" with "free jazz" or "harmolodics"? | |
| Mono cartridge recommendation This is interesting because I was kind of curious about how one would optimize a system for mono listening. Most of my mono listening is from digital sources (you shouldn’t hiss during a pandemic, it’s not sanitary). Actually that was the great bo... | |
| When are people going to wake up and realize listening is a skill? You know who else told you to do exactly what he does? ADOLF HITLER!Seriously, though, I think there's a difference between (a) a two ton, 640 horsepower automobile and (b) your ears. | |
| Bass sensation like a loud car system in home? You could live in your car. A surprising number of people do this. | |
| Zappa Recommendations ? After he cashiered the original Mothers, Zappa tended to go back and forth between instrumental music and his day/night job of being a latter-day version of Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts. To the best of my knowledge (though often off the top of my h... | |

| Is louder better? I find that the optimum level for listening is about a tenth of a twist higher than the level at which I worry that it is going to bother the people in neighboring apartments. I do believe there is a minimum level that you must have to get the ful... | |
| Gotten Any Good Trash Records Lately? It's not that I mind particularly, except for one's natural inhibition to throwing a record album away. Those two are still sitting on a shelf awaiting their fate. I'm surprised somebody got so defensive about it. I just find it amusing. When ... |
