| LP records: Time to... oi... buy another crate...? I'm going the way of Rshak and Elizabeth. After trying everything over the years, I prefer to keep my LPs in the "200 LP" carpeted crates from Odyssey or Grundorf. Expensive, yes, but american-made, of uniform size, and with the recessed hardware ... | |

| My Turntable Collection..... This is just in case Joeatlas is still there... I got involved in restoring a '70 Corvette coupe in '08 and my correspondence and sanity got really sketchy for two years... I really love two classic japanese DD designs: The Kenwood KD-650-750 and ... | |
| Considering analog...but nervous gh0st, I could NOT love music without my LPs. A second, non-aural benefit is enjoying the jacket art and recording information in human-scale font. Nothing beats a great recording WITH a great piece of art. Last night, I played a pristine copy of ... | |
| LP records: Time to... oi... buy another crate...? My region seems to produce much of the usual suspects for the used bins. Like Elizabeth, I can't help "rescuing" mint common stuff that I like for 50 cents or a dollar just because it doesn't deserve to go out that way-- That's why I have six earl... | |
| Considering analog...but nervous Les_creative_edge already summed it up on 1/24. I often reason that if I had it all to do over, I might settle on a good all-tube system and CDs, and just listen to the music. However, the message is in the medium: The LP forces me to focus on a s... | |

| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Frazuer1, thanks for the advice-- I'm not in a hurry, but I'm also not parting with my 4's, so experienced opinions in optimizing my continuing enjoyment are appreciated. | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... I own two pair* of both the 4 and the 3XO. I have had Mr. Strohbeen and associates service the drivers of one pair each to ensure that I am still hearing what I am supposed to. For reference, I also own approximately 16 pair of other makes, from J... | |
| Turntable suggestions for novice... In my own experience, in your price range, New: Technics SL1200mkIIRecent used: Rega P3Put a Dynavector 10x5 on the SL1200 and just quit. The Rega gives you a few years of tweaking/upgrades and will launch you on that path, but can be configured t... | |
| Technics SL-1200 Mk II; opinions?? Price is fine. Don't worry too much about anything negative said about the Steel Wheel. I operate three Regas with MC cartridges (I hate changing/aligning them, easier to change the table), but I still have an SL1200mkII in my bedroom system, and ... | |
| How many Lp do U have more than 5 of the Same To answer Tjnif, I only deliberately seek out two copies of any LP I really like. With pop/rock, however, I just can't resist a really pristine copy when I come across a $1 or $2 copy in the used bins. I suppose I can also rationalize that when I ... | |
| Shostakovich string quartets recommendation I have the Borodin and Emerson. Agree with Krisjan in toto regarding Emerson. The best version I ever heard was of #8 being played by four high school students on a live radio broadcast from Atlanta, very raw, very wanton, and somehow what I felt ... | |
| Aging technology versus inevitably aging ears... Wow-- I did not know what to expect with my cry for therapeutic sympathy, and I got just that. Community keeps us sane, indeed.Rockvirgo, you nailed two things square-on: (1) Something very special WAS happening in the late seventies, aside from m... | |
| Remotes: Who needs 'em? After a nice IPA and glass of Cab, I'm sitting back looking at what my '08 rant harvested this year... thanks to all of you who are beginning to sympathize with me after the first few personally insulted way back... Rodman, I have been operating a... |
