| I can't believe I found one I was at Graceland years ago, there was a building with his cars, mostly blinged out stuff, I didn't hear the table playing but it was there, installed in at least one vehicle. Old school bling. | |
| Rhino High-Fidelity record jackets I use a generic jacket with a hole cut out to protect the backside and keep all original liners and other paper ephemera that have artifact value. No risk of damage to record; in fact, you can more easily remove and resleeve without damage without... | |
| Rhino High-Fidelity record jackets @lewm is referring to placing the sleeved record in an outer jacket protector, not trying to put the sleeved record back in the jacket. I've used this practice for years, less friction (which causes static), less wear and tear on the jacket itself... | |
| What is your vinyl commitment? Oy vey. A lot. My main system is in my system profile here. A lot of that turntable equipment was purchased back in the aughts, when I moved to Texas full-time at the beginning of 2017 I needed to use the big Minus K bench top isolation platform, ... | |
| The cool factor- who has it? There's the public persona and the private person. I think you may be disappointed by some of your heroes. There's a well-publicized account by a guy I knew back in NY who helped Miles D after he crashed his Miura and there were bags of white powd... | |
| Outer Vinyl Sleeves, is it a good idea? @bdp24 - if it is the same guy I’m thinking of, he owns an ad agency in Germany, was involved in the whole MoFi debacle a few years ago where everybody was named "Mike"--the In Groove guy who did the expose, this guy, Fremer, and even that OCD Mik... | |
| Vinyl that is impossible to find Hi, Chris- I understand the limiting nature of genre classification as well as its subjective nature, but I have a large collection of LPs and simply saying they represent "good music" is not helpful to me in organizing, acquiring or managing such... | |
| I can't believe I found one Elvis had a turntable in his car. Enough said. | |
| Shanling ET3 or Project CD RS2-T CD transport comparison I bought the ET3 as a stop gap when my C.E.C. went to the US distributor for a check up (nothing major). I thought the ET3 sounded a tad too bass heavy in my system out of the box, but my system is voiced for vinyl in a pretty serious way. I use ... | |
| Outer Vinyl Sleeves, is it a good idea? @wrm57 - I wish I could take myself seriously. I’m really a dilletante with a lot of different interests. Lately been focusing on motorsports again after a long hiatus. FWIW, after trying virtually all the different inner sleeves available incl... | |
| Outer Vinyl Sleeves, is it a good idea? @lewm- my terminology probably wasn’t consistent either, does this help? | |
| Outer Vinyl Sleeves, is it a good idea? I've tried many different products and methods over the years. Sleeve City sells these 5.0 mil polypropylene oversized outer sleeves, which are large enough for a double album. They present like mylar- hard and clear. I package the jacket and inne... | |
| Is it possible to really know what you're doing? @emergingsoul said: "...does anyone really understand what they’re buying absent being an engineering tech savvy individual.... I think if it were based purely on engineering, one could do this in what I referred to above as a "holistic" approach... | |
| Has anyone here set up a system with tiered subwoofers handling different bass spectrums? My system works this way- the woofers in the Avantgarde Duo are two 10" dynamic drivers with horn loaded drivers for the mid and tweets. Those woofers don't go down very deep and I found it necessary to adjust them so they cohere with the mid-horn... | |
