| Clear vinyl vs. regular black vinyl @clearthinker - I didn’t mean to imply Donald Fagen is no longer with us. He is the man.As I mentioned, I have his 9 year old album, Sunken Condos, which came on clear vinyl (not sure if it is clarity vinyl) but it sure sounds great. I have The Ni... | |
| eBay / PayPal: Beware - enough is never enough. I don’t use Facebook at all, but my son has listed a few non-audio related things on Facebook Marketplace for me with excellent results and the buyers were very nice. They were local and picked up the stuff, which I guess is a big help. I guess Fa... | |
| Clear vinyl vs. regular black vinyl @frogman - you know a lot more about this than topic than I do. I had always heard it was a label contract issue. Your explanation/theory makes sense, but I am still keeping it in my Miles albums alphabetically and his rotation, and even though th... | |
| Clear vinyl vs. regular black vinyl @petg60 - is that still available? My brother in law has a 4 sided 45 of KOB but it’s black vinyl. That’s worth big $$ unopened.@frogman - My mistake. I thought PC and the others were on it. The records sound similar, but it was Miles’ record, but... | |
| Mat for Rega P10 FYI- I started a new mat discussion last week looking for other alternatives because the dirt accumulating on the white part of Herbie’s mat was bothering me and I had to keep taking it off and wiping it down, so I thought maybe the static issues ... | |
| Clear vinyl vs. regular black vinyl @petg60 - great album. It is actually a Miles Davis album - same crew as Kind of Blue without Trane. There was an argument with the record label so they had to bill it as a Cannonball Adderly album.It's my second favorite Miles album.Unfortunately... | |
| Clear vinyl vs. regular black vinyl @bdp24 - The clarity vinyl is what is being used on a new release of Kind of Blue marketed as a UHQR (although not the same as the UHQRs made by MFSL in the early 80s) they're selling for $100 as the best re wording of KoB ever. I won't bite thoug... | |
| Uber expensive repair at United Radio @dasign - you have options - take it or leave it. If the market for their service was significant enough, other places would offer it (authorized or not). What about if you had something that you couldn't get parts for and that couldn't be fabric... | |
| Clear vinyl vs. regular black vinyl Donald Fagen was a fanatic about the recording and production process and I seem to remember them saying there was some advantage to them producing Sunken Condos on clear vinyl. It is also a unique record in that it only has music on 3 sides, whic... | |
| heat Even if turning it on and off doesn't break the amp, it will cause premature wear and sound degradation. | |
| Uber expensive repair at United Radio It's called a free market. Places charge what they can get, what the market can bear. Places that charge too much will lose business and those that charge too little will get more. They will then adjust and business volumes will adjust. This assum... | |
| What do $2500 speaker cables sound like? I keep mine off the hard wood floors especially the speaker cables. It certainly can't hurt, and the vibration from the speaker right there is definitely not good for the sound. | |
| Uber expensive repair at United Radio That's why car repair places I deal with just tell you how much to do a job. Forget about the hours. It's irrelevant. If they don't know how much it will cost, either get a narrow range or go somewhere else.Don't complain about the hours and the r... | |
| Inheritance ($100K) with a caveat @mrklas - see above - misspelled your name | |
| Inheritance ($100K) with a caveat @mrklass - you must be doppelgänger for me. Just ordered a new stressless chair after the 16 year old one is almost worn out, but my son can't wait to get it. I have a P8 which I think is the best value for the buck in any turntable - no changes (... |
