    The almost forgotten turntable

    i noticed that and corrected it ,as i know it not, thought it were marantz good turntables, plastic isn´t to me a superior quality material or new cartridges and it´s tiny stylus, only the time they become poor and simply nonsense is now, not then they sound good but a litle high price for a...

    How would you define an Audiophile?

    How would you define an Audiophile?

    How would you define an Audiophile?

    i think all bands denominated Yath rock are in that style that i didn´t knew about it, like christofer cross or chicago, starting in late 70´s as strangelly Steely Dan seem to lead the style, so to speak , as i have early lp´s that have nothing to do with it as also Chicago first releases

    Why it is (almost) pointless to recommend speakers

    so does digital recording and also depends on the cassette deck quality, as a example if the source is good a type I cassette , well built tops a type II cassette in a lesser quality source, like the rythm if louder than voice will records in a maximum scale while if the voice or mid...
