| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl @tomcy6 Keep patting yourselves on the back, guys. You are mistaking smugness for smarts. Are you offended? Try to tell any serious record collector that he's better off with CDs and it will be the greatest joke. | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl @inna chakster, I didn't like your jazz funk. then you have no taste, haha Vysotsky is so much better, it's not quite music, though, it's poetry accompanied by intentionally out of tune guitar. I am surprised, don't tell me you have russian roo... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl @inna chakster, you are talking to the wrong crowd, they don’t listen to Vysotsky ... Haha, i don’t listen to Visotsky, definitely not my type of music.... and so cannot possibly even comprehend what you are saying. Interesting, i guess anyone w... | |

| Beyond the sound of things, and into the soul of things. @orpheus10 nice tune I always feel like i am on the stage with these guys when i listen to original japanese pressing of Ramsey Lewis Trio, this tune is mind blowing. The US press is cheap as chips and must be nice too, but i only have Japanese pr... | |
| Does it make sense to retip vdH Grasshopper cartridge @jperry cartridge re-tipping is a good business, but most people don’t really understand what’s going on, so they trust to the retipper. The retipper does not have to explain everything in technical details (it’s too complicated), except some simp... | |

| Plinth to armboard interface Garrard 301 plinth @millercarbon The best thing by far to use under a nice massive stiff table like yours is a set of Black Diamond Racing Cones screwed into Those Things screwed into the base.

| Does it make sense to retip vdH Grasshopper cartridge @clearthink There are many competent, qualified, expert re-tippers there is no reason to only return it to VDH although that is certainly a credible, valid, legitimate decision, choice, and option there are many others from which to decide, sele... | |
| Help with phono amp upgrade Why don’t you just try another cartridge if the sound of Hanna is harsh to your ears ? This is a nature of MC. Find a better cartridge, probably MM or MI type. The sound goes from the cartridge. | |

First you have to do before you will find a new phono stage is to replace the tubes in your EAR phono. If you’re look... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl @lalitk Digital files (low resolution) that are available for free are indeed crap. As you pointed out that people who buys vinyl are more selective in their choices because records are not cheap. To exploit full potential of digital streaming, o... | |

| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl @sleepwalker65 The real deejays are people who play music from media at radio stations and live events without scratching and mixing. No necessary, the skills is another subject, someone can use a microphone between the tracks like the oldschool... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl I strongly doubt any real deejays use vinyl anymore, they have not for 30 years. rap “dj”s only use one record on each turntable, which is just for time code to drive serato to play out digital rap files. @sleepwalker65 Real DJs play vinyl (alway... |
