| Anyone Tried out the new Bruce Springsteen Box set? There was a thread started on this subject when the box set was released. Although there was not a large number of responses I think the general consensus was the new issues were, for the most part, a significant sonic improvement.https://forum.au... | |
| music. on vinyl czarivey-I certainly cannot disagree with any of your points. No, it doesn't make life easier. I'm just trying to minimize the disappointment I've experienced with some, but by no means all, new issues by trying to understand it with some empirici... | |

| music. on vinyl My experience with MOV has been a mixed bag. Because they do not tell, there is no way to know what they are using for a source. I have had titles that sound fantastic and with others there is a harshness and brittleness that leaves little doubt i... | |

| Dan Hicks has passed away. +1 mofimadnessOf all the sad news of late, this hit me the hardest. Dan Hicks has never been that far removed from my rotation since the early 70's. Such talent, stage presence and the ability to find such superb musicians to play with is not a co... | |
| Onzow Zero Dust - cleaning the cleaner Have to agree with ebm. His post is a real piece of junk. :)Also agree with jsman. A tiny bit of Dawn, rinse well with lukewarm water and air drying does the job very nicely. | |
| Amplifier repair in the Baltimore/Washington area +1 on both Protech and Music Technology.I have used them both. You might find yourself having to be patient as they both, in my experience, are usually pretty loaded with work. Often a sign of a good shop. | |
| How do you spot an overplayed used lp without obvious scratches etc Over the past few years I've found it has gotten a bit harder to discern differences since, at least in my area, more vendors of used LPs are using RCMs to clean their stock which results in the removal of a lot of the telltale signs of prior poor... |
