Where would you sell your vinyl collection?
My view on the selling on-line would be from the buying side. I will look for a specific pressing on Discogs. So, if was looking for an audiophile record like a MoFi, I would list it there. Regarding the valuation, it's data driven based on sales.... 
Is there a quality website that lists upcoming releases of music
The bigger sellers all have either pre-order or coming soon pages.http://www.elusivedisc.com/Coming-Soon/departments/467/https://store.acousticsounds.com/index.cfm?get=results&ComingSoon=truehttps://www.musicdirect.com/music/?category=Music&am... 
MFSL CDs: Dumb Questions
The easy way to tell a MoFi CD from an SACD is the catalog number. CDs are UDCD-xxxx while SACDs are UDSACD-xxxx, where the xxxx is the issue number in the series. So, it's a Gold CD. The Silver CDs were MFCD-xxxx. UD is ultra disc and MF is Mobil... 
Cartridge alignment tool
I'm sticking with my Wally Tractor for my Rega. It works perfectly for me. I like the mirror surface and the etchings. I can align my turntable in about 5 minutes. 
Amy Winehouse LP Sound Quality
I'm not an audiophile even though I spent money like one. Let's start with this. There are no pressing of Back to Black that sound awful. Some are better than others. No it's not "audiophile". It's not supposed to be. She was an incredibly gifted ... 
Why Miles Davis late alboms are not well recorded?
Whatever, dude. He has 50+ albums. If you don't like the later ones, buy the early ones. I personally like the Miles & Quincy Live at Montreux. He died in 1991 the same year as this release.  
Audio Reviewers & The Music They Use In Their Reviews
I'm thinking they didn't write the article for you specifically. There might be other readers who have different ideas. Nah, I'm wrong. They probably wrote the article to annoy you, specifically.  
YOUTUBE and Vinyl are gonna bankrupt me!
Youtube has very little influence on me. What kills me is Discogs. If I see Chris Bellmen or Kevin Gray listed as the mastering engineer or cut by in the credits I end up buying it. I rarely regret it. But, I just keep spending more money. I can't... 
Two Subs?
If you can't put you sub between your two mains, get two subs. Pretty simple Placing a subwoofer between your mains can be awkward, but it may save you a grand or more depending on the subwoofer. 
DSOTM on Vinyl
The new remaster is pretty good. It isn't as good as the 30th Anniversary. The 30th bests the MoFi. To sum this up. The 30th is an upgrade to the MoFi. The new remaster is about a lateral move from the MoFi. So if you want an upgrade, buy the 2003... 
Analogue Productions Jazz, Blues and Classical 33RPM vs 45RPM advice needed!!!
I have a couple of 45 rpm versions of the same masterings that I own on 33 rpm. They are both worth owning. But you should only buy 45 rpm pressings that you have hear at their best and with your utmost attention. Personally if both are versions a... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Just felt like hearing some Traffic. So John Barley Corn Mus Die is spinning. 
What is the epic song of a group?
Traffic - Low Spark of High Heeled BoysThis truly Epic.For Eric Clapton - I would say Layla even though I personally think Wonderful Tonight (about the same woman) is the better song. It's just not epic. 
Mod my Rega P5 OR...time to move on ??
I own a P5. It's modded a bit. Didn't get a Groovetracer, but I did upgrade the subplatter with ceramic ball bearing. Easily the best upgrade I've made. It also has Michell counterweight. The counterweight improved the bass, but this wasn't a huge...
