| For city apartment dweller audiophiles. Have you ever had neighbors banging on your walls? I live in an apartment and my experience with speakers and spikes is that spikes definitely transmit more bass energy through the floor. I have wall-to-wall carpeting and there is a foot of cement between floors, so I've lived here for 33 years an... | |
| Mood Can't say I've experienced that phenomenon, but then I've only got music playing at certain times.... | |
| One answer to an oft-asked question. I used to keep up with new music from ICE magazine which always posted the upcoming new releases. That's been gone for decades, and I would read about new music in 'Q' Magazine from the UK, but that's gone now too. I'm interested in new music, but... | |
| Youtube audiophile hi res sounds MUCH better than my Eversolo streamer I also have YouTube going through my 2-channel system via its app on my Sony TV, Not as good quality as my CD's or vinyl, but good enough that I'm fine with it and it's quite convenient. | |
| HiFi on the Go - Dream or Reality? Which Astell&Kern did you get? Based on your other gear, I'd guess one of the higher end models. There are just so many IEM's, I'd recommend seeing if you can try out various brands and models on a trial basis to see what works best for you, i... | |
| ADD or Audiophile? In my living room system, I just listen; I can't pay attention to what I read and what I hear at the same time. When working on photos at my desk, though, I have music on my desktop system while doing Photoshop work.... | |

| Record Store Day 2024? @bipod72 - that is true, but here are any number of good titles that are still available days, weeks, months, and/or years after the RSD they were released on. Of course, some titles are guaranteed to sell out right away.... | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. @1111art - good list! Fyi, if you weren't aware, Poe's brother is Mark Z Danielewski, author of 'House of Leaves' and a number of other unique, groundbreaking, novelistic works. | |
| Record Store Day 2024? @nicholsr - I think there is much sense in your suggestion. It's not that different from how some ticket sales are handled by certain artists and/or venues who try to minimize scalping... | |
| Market Stabilization? I stand by what I said. More CD transports and players are coming out all the time, too. Things have changed a lot since 2022 in this regard. | |
| Record Store Day 2024? I'm good with RSD, though I don't go to the stores; I'm not one for queuing up. I tend to buy titles the following day from stores selling them online. Just got a Wall of Voodoo Live album from 1979.... | |
| Market Stabilization? Vinyl and CD sales have been on the upswing for quite some time now; just check out the industry trade publications, increase in number of pressing plants, etc. | |
| Technics SL-1210G Headshells, Record Weights, and Mats I've been using a Stein platter mat since I got my 1200G and I'm quite happy with it, as I am with my Clearaudio Charisma II MM cart.... |
