    Large stash of classical records

    Conveniently, at the charity used book and record store I frequent, I found a copy of 'The NPR Guide To Building a Classical CD Collection' for the price of 2 used LPs... Of course not everything on LP made it to CD, but for a classical neophyte, I found the book helpful. Perhaps there's a...

    advise on a "GOOD" powerful power amp

    You mention Adcom and Carver... I've used both for vinyl and was happy (my ears liked the Adcom more, but YMMV). Hit the thrifts and craigslist and see what you can find. My experience is that looking for a particular make/model will take a long time, but if you make yourself aware of the...

    Blue Note Jazz: Does it matter that it all starts to sound the same?

    Blue note also has some great electric jazz that can take the edge off of too much bop. Look for Grant Green, John Patton, baby Face Willette, Lou Donaldson....

    Delco Car radio in a custom case (Need ideas for a project)

    All of the re-programming gets done with a scan tool and computer that plug into the cars OBD ports, no? Without an OBD port on the radio, I'm not sure how you'd re-program it. This is a really cool idea, and I can imagine older (50s and 60s) vintage car radios with all the funky buttons and...

    Record Store Commerical - Thoughts, ideas?

    Also include a line mentioning that the store BUYS vinyl collections... this will help bring new inventory into the store. What is the format of the radio station the ad will play on? The Dave Brubeck needle drop is a great idea, but it will have no sway over listeners to an Urban-AC station...

    Should I pay my store $0.50/record or buy a Spin Clean???

    As your collection grows, having a way to clean your records is a good thing. I bought my spin clean when I had about 2500 records and I wish I got it sooner. There is no way I have the time now to clean them all, so I am cleaning the new ones as they go on to the shelves, and I'm cleaning some...

    Bridgestone Stylist Bicycle ???

    Some Bridgestone bikes have a cult following (Like the X0-1 mentioned above and their high-end mountain bikes), in the late 80s and into the 90s their bikes were decidedly old-school in an age when new shifting gizmos were coming out all the time. They made great bikes, reasonably priced. If...

    Attention : Eagle-eyes...

    I'd say it all depends on how much you like driving... there looked like some cool stuff, that if priced right, could be fun, but is it worth a 100 miles of driving? I look at these excursions as adventures rather than trips to buy stuff, that way if something is sold or not what it was...

    'This Year's Model'.....Elvis Costello...recommend?

    Abe Lincoln once said: "People who like this sort of thing will find this the sort of thing they like" Which is to say that if you dig Elvis Costello, (or that type of music in general) that is one of the records you need. It's a classic.
