Recording Industry Dirt
Busis2,The key to my post is "the rip and burn set". The ironic part is that Sony music wants the younguns to buy the CD's and the hardware part wants them to buy burners. Nevertheless, there's more going on than just a lack of quality music for u... 
Anyone still excited about HDCD ?
Bill Gates bought it. He will kill it. It's sad as I agree that it is a better method than standard redbook. 
Recording Industry Dirt
Buscis2,There's really nothing new here except it's digital. Nearly every black artist from the 50's and 60's got screwed beyond belief leaving them able to earn a living only through club performances. John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival... 
Need a Basic Education on the LP12
Get a used Ittok and a cartridge within your budget. Of course, a better cartridge, like the Shelter is a great move if you can afford it. I currently use a Blue Point Special and realize it's marginal but nevertheless, it's very enjoyable.

You got $10000, build a system.

New Steely Dan Release - LP?
I wouldn't worry too much. Every Steely Dan recording has been available on vinyl and this one will not be the exception. Besides, they have been critical of the digital domain for quite some time. Read "Reelin' In The Years" for some great insigh... 
The miracle of the turntable?
Capitalize on your son's curiosity. Boys are by nature fixers and builders. I know this site is about audio but most of us just buy our gear. Show him how to pound a nail, cut a board with a handsaw, check the oil, etc. If you don't know how to do... 
OK, A'Gon/guys: I like to print the odd thread but
Unclejeff,Why don't you simply cut and paste (Control/C, Control/V) what you want to print into your word processing program and then print? Every M$ OS has Wordpad. You'll have two windows open when doing this, so use the Alt/Tab shortcut while j... 
Is There Big Trouble Brewing?
You'all gotta start looking at the politics involved with all this nonsense. Politics, as in: 1) Congress allowing the radio waves to be dominated by two corporations, thus controlling what music we are subjected to, 2) Recording giants force feed... 
Linn Aktiv cards for tri-amp LK140/Ninaka
Hi,If I understand your confusion correctly, you want to know how things work with three Aktiv stereo amps running the two way Ninka's that have two mid/bass drivers per speaker. The crossovers in the back of the Ninka's need to have the jumpers c...

Heck Tom, that's a mere 18 hour drive. How about every Wednesday?? 
What's under YOUR turntable?
Dust bunnies. 
LP Heaven
Listen to Cylinderking! Doing it once is much cheaper than following some kind of upgrade path. Welcome to the crowd. 
Record Cleaner Side Effects?
Hi,IMNSHO, record cleaning is a no-brainer. I've been collecting vinyl for over 35 years and see/hear no evidence that record cleaning machines damage the software. On the contrary, failure to do so will embed debris into the vinyl permanently. Re...
