The quest for the hot stamper or is it a myth
Ah the old marketing spin. I thought it didn't come from them but from old record manufacturing employees cherry picking low pressings to buy and keeping them. Thanks 
I bought an off spindle hole record from Wal-Mart.
I just did and no problem.

Couch's Direct has some nice vinyl too.! Soft. 
Does anyone use white gloves to handle records?

Does anyone use white gloves to handle records?
I read a long time ago that there were a small few that used gloves. I thought briefly about ya or nay but I think I will just keep my hands clean from reading the opinions here. Now if I'm holding up and displaying a super rare record at a Southb...

Thanks all 
Is it time to just quit?
I can verify that the SA-10 that me and Elizabeth have and others is very very good. #%€$ good. With playing a great digital mastered CD it  will reveal the limitations of my TT. Sibilence, surface noise, mistracking. Its seductive and makes me la...

Is it time to just quit?
Hey Elizabeth. Ive been in a similar situation before. When I was low on funds I would reposition my speakers or change the acoustics of the room or move my listening chair closer or farther. Or try cheap tweaks. When I get in a funk I realize I'm... 
Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday!
Thanks, it's a keeper.  
Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday!
Close to 4 hours a day listening. I leave it on 24/7 and turn off system before and electrical storm. It is a big step up from the SA-8005. Some vinyl is better in my system. Maybe 1\2. Analog warmth/smoothness that is inherent to the medium. I go... 
What is the first album you purchased, and do you still have it?
Let Zep HOTH. I was 13 and so embarrassed like I was buying something naughty. I played it everyday after work for weeks. Still have it for 42 years
