I appreciate the easiness of listening to any band these days. I remember the days of having to shell out hard earned money to listen to a tape or record. Sometimes they sucked, and I was regretful that I had wasted my money. Now I can preview all t…

Home - Records or MP3s. I have vintage systems throughout the house hooked up to Airport Expresses so I can control them all from my phone or laptop. I usually listen to records in the morning before my wife wakes. Bicycle - MP3s on my phone …

With most turntables, they leave the mat as a separate piece so that you can replace it when it's worn out, or if you want to swap it for a different type of mat. The 1200 was not originally designed to be run without a mat, even though most don't h…

I don't have a "take in case of emergency" stack. Anything going into my collection gets cleaned, sleeved and priced. I put tiny little price tags on the back of the plastic sleeve when I first get the record. It makes for easy trades or sal…

I think it's foolish to dismiss all audiophile pursuits categorically. Making your system sound good doesn't mean you have to waste money. Stabilizing your record so more vibration is transferred to the stylus does improve the sound and it can be ac…

I switched up the Salsa Casseroll to be a little more of a randonneuring set up. I upped the tire size to 700x38 with no ill-effects so far. These tires actually seem faster than the 700x35 puncture-resistant tires I had previously. I am running abo…

26 chairs. I had no idea I had that many. My wife didn't believe me recently when I told her we had 17 champagne flutes and didn't need all of them. I cringe when I think of all the stuff I used to have before the 5-year purge. …

That Soma is looking great! Tires with puncture protection are slower than tires with a supple fast casing. I still use puncture resistant tires. I haven't had a flat in over a year. I used to get flats every other week with my 700x25c race t…

Thanks! This mix is theming the first morning of my Mexican vacation.

Very nice! That voice of Music amp looks great. I'm putting new boards in a Dyncao SCA-35 this weekend. The amp isn't doing well, and the boards looked fried. This particular model was only available as a kit back in the 60s, and never sold p…

I've been happily using iTunes for about 13 years now to manage about 20,000 well edited songs. I like it for a number of reasons. It syncs easily with my phone. I have Airport Expresses hooked up to a bunch of vintage stereo systems around the hous…

Thanks for the tips! I will try some tube rolling one day.

In response to the pictures in this thread; no, no, no, no, no, no, no, and hell no. Flower prints are for chicks and old couches. Maybe a real flower on your lapel or in your hat for a special occasion or as an indicator for a pre-arranged meeting …

So much soul! Thanks!
