Do you listen to equipment or music.
Some very good responses and a great topic, indeed. This hobby, for me at least, is about enjoying the music. But, I have fallen deep into the rabbit hole. Just ask my enabler audiofoo friends. ( yes, audiofoos because we are fools when it comes t... 
Any advice on buying quality vinyl
My brief experience with a very clean, shiny, new looking record, and frustration after dropping my Dynavector stylus into the groove. I was puzzled, not shocked (since it happens once in a while), that I was hearing crackling and a loud hiss from... 
New $24,000 inter-connect
But, is that for one, or, a pair? A left AND a right?

Whart (and fellow audiophiles),Thank you for your delightful report on record stores in NY. Particularly Brooklyn, NY. I will be visiting my son in Brooklyn and we will have a good time checking these places out. Fellas, see Bill's (What)  link ab... 
If you could only keep 5 record albums, what would they be?
Lets see...5...1. A Clockwork Orange- It's got some good synthesizer music (I normally don't seek it out, but if we are on a spaceship, tumbling through the cosmos, it might come in handy when the martians get us). And of course it's got Ludvig's ...

The nightmare of the cartridge buyer...
Seems to me that br3098 has the clearest explanation. I'd love to have a stereo store, hang out, playing my favorite music, sending my faithful employee for a herb run ( I live in Oregon) and best of all- allow my customers to take anything they w... 
recommendation for speaker wire to soften the highs if possible
I just corrected nasty, harsh tweeter highs/fatigue. A friend brought over some Dueland wires and they did the trick. Myself and a group of serious audiophiles tried all the things suggested in this thread. I was to the point of breaking out the i... 
The best books on music
Tune In, by Mark Lewisohn. Excellent book about the lads early days. Very well researched and written. (First time they played in Germany was the exact day, 20 years prior, that Germany bombed England. Liverpool)Thelonious Monk, by Kelly. A must r...

Good advice, indeed. My main focus is looking for LPs. But, Carnegie Hall is a great idea. Any advice for live music and good acoustics is certainly welcome. Thanks all.

Thanks everybody . I now have a list of things to do in NYC! 
Can you live with your current speaker until you die?
My buddies were just teasing me about that! (I might need an intervention ;) 
This is juvenile...
