| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? Back in the days of yore everybody used lamp cord - and nobody complained! Nowadays clever marketing and expectation bias (if it costs more it must be better) compels the gullible and unwary to spend serious shekels on wire in search of that last ... | |
| AudioQuest Vodka vs Purist Audio Ethernet Cable Save your money. Any CAT cable that meets its specs will deliver those 1’s and 0’s perfectly! To believe otherwise is to be a science/engineering denier! Let the rock throwing begin! | |
| What exactly is a speaker box sound? I have never heard this edge diffraction effect - regardless of the price of the speakers (cheap to expensive). My favorites have been ESL's - the Quads and KLH Nines. Obviously free from any boxy sound! | |
| Where to buy vinyl? My favorite hunting ground was the local Goodwill two miles from my house. LP's there were $1 apiece! Mostly rock and classical. Over the years I bought a thousand or so! | |
| Where to buy vinyl? I refuse to pay the exorbitant prices for new reissues ($25-$35), aside from their being cut from digital files. Good to Excellent copies can often be found for around $10 or less! | |
| Where to buy vinyl? All LP's I buy get a thorough cleaning and a new inner sleeve before play. Before playing a side I apply Stylast to the stylus. This acts as a lubricant and reduces stylus wear. After playing a side I brush the stylus with some liquid Nagaoka 801 ... | |
| Where to buy vinyl? I use eBay and discogs. My experiences with both have been positive. I buy used original pressings. New reissues cut from digital files are of no interest to me. I am price conscious and look for the lowest prices. I have never had to return a use... | |
| Has new music gone down the tubes? Here's two bands worth checking out: Deer Hoof and The Black Watch. I own several CD's from each! | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System They should have used the SR Purple fuses! | |
| Has new music gone down the tubes? The Well is dry! Among the world-wide 15 - 25 year olds the most popular music is rap/hip hop - and has been so for several decades. All that’s needed is a beat box and a mike. No knowledge of music theory or instrumental skill required! The domin... | |
| Accuphase C-200 / P-300 audiophile fuses? Save your money and use Buss or Littel fuses. You'd have to be nuts to fall for the hype of "audiophile" fuses! | |
| What's it worth to you? I'll be taking a look at the cover of my original copy of Bowie's Diamond Dogs. Maybe mine is one of the scarce ones with the family jewels on display! | |
| What's it worth to you? A Miles Davis KOB with the signatures of all the original session musicians would be a highly desirable piece! It's all about the rarity ... | |
| What's it worth to you? Regarding the VU Warhol Banana LP - I didn’t steal it! I paid $10 for a teenager’s leftover record stash. I discovered this VU LP after examining my purchase. Holy smokes ... !!!! | |
| Please any idea how to plug in Tara Labs RCA connectors very close together? Thanks @lowrider57 +1. My advice too! Only the neurotic will complain that they can hear it degrade the sound! |
