    New vinyl; still noisy

    I have several tecird club pressings and never had playback issues with them. The packaging is usually cheaper. I seriously doubt any band would risk sales over worn out dies. At this time lots of recycled vinyl was used to make new records. Dynaflex comes to mind in that case. RC issues...

    McIntosh still builds its amps by hand, one piece at a time

    My buddy has worked at the Binghamton location since the 80s. He told me stories about horseplay and fighting. That vid paints a pretty pic until the realities of any workplace crop up. Mac gear is overpriced regardless which is why I used his employee discount for my gear in the 80s and 90s...

    If you were to choose from these, which one and why?

    Only idler I have still is a Garrard model A. Its just a shelf piece, I would never play any of my records on it though it still runs ok. I had an 80 with the wooden tonearm to that did not really impress me

    If you were to choose from these, which one and why?

    I used to have a DD25 or DD30 Micro Seiki TT. It was a decent table, no comparison to a 1200mk2 but still a good performer. Skynyrd77 (Jason) probably still has it

    Vinyl Collections.

    Couple thousand records still, probably a couple 100 CD's. Then again, I have sold over 12,000 records on AK from my collection over the last 8 years or so. At one point I had over 15,000 lps
