| New Jilco Clipper cartridge....Interesting Interesting look - - kinda reminds me of the space ships seen in the 1930's Flash Gordon serials. | |
| Does anyone listen to the radio anymore? I listen to the radio every day via my Grace table top internet radios. There are a lot of good stations available. My current standby in Radio Swiss Classic, which I listen to a couple of hours daily, mostly in the background. Another favorite i... | |
| MissingCDs and records rvpiano - I understand what you're talking about. I, too, greatly enjoy the "tactility" involved in handling/playing physical media - LPs, in particular, with their liner notes and often beautiful album covers. It definitely adds to the overall l... | |
| Looking for a great cassette deck jnovak - there's an interesting website where I've found a lot of useful information on cassette decks (and reel decks, too). I poked around there recently seeking information on cassette deck repairs/restoration, as I have a well loved Nak DR-10... | |

| Mobile Fidelity Claim Form & Documents I received my notice in yesterday's mail. It came from the Settlement Administrator (presumably approved by the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington). I'm not sure how they identified me as a potential Class Member - - I ma... | |
| Keeping Track of Vinyl Playback Time The website for the timer Fremer reviewed is: StylusTimer.com I bought one but haven't used it yet - - - still doing the click counter thing for my several year old Ortofon Jubilee. Once I change cartridges, I'll deploy the Stylus. Timer. | |
| What internet stations do you listen to enrich your musical mind? I listen to Jeff' Bressler's *Make Believe Ballroom* on UK 1940's Radio Station - good musical selections and very entertaining and informative commentary. The program is also available on several community/college radio stations. | |
| Classical music newbie needs your suggestions Any Mozart among those opera records? If so, have a listen before you decide to sell. There are some real jewels to be found in Mozart's opera oeuvre. | |
| Anyone Still Using Zerodust I am aware of the "controversy" but continue to use my Onzow, as I have for over a dozen years. It has worked quite well for me. | |
| Surviving Hurricane Ian with music Hey, John - Thanks for the post, and I'm glad to hear that you and your family fared comparatively well. I've been through a good number of storms/hurricanes over the past few decades, and for me the worst aspect has been loss of power (which mea... |
