    Slip Mats

    I bought a Cork 2-piece slipmat last year for my Technics 1200G but I was reading about Technics Rubber mats actually being sought after and how great quality they are so I switched back. Honestly I couldn’t tell that much of a difference really.

    Incense appreciation thread

    I can’t mess with those incense that people sell on the street for a dollar a pack as it just offends my sense of smell to no end, but I do love Morning Star incense sandalwood scent. That’s the only ones I ever buy.

    The Blue Note Thread

    Well if you got the VMP Blue Note, we’re getting a free Wayne Shorter replacement because of some issue with the labels. They were able to replace some of them but some still shipped messed up so they are sending a replacement regardless of if you got the corrected version or not. Yay I guess

    Jumping into Jazz: Introductory records for beginners

Then as I got into Hip Hop, that’s when I became a student of Jazz. I remember there was this group called The Future Sound that sampled Pharoah Sanders “Creator has...

    Looking to purchase a Vintage Marantz receiver and need suggestions.....

    Thank you and everyone. I passed on the $1200 2275 and I am indeed going to just take my time choosing to buy a vintage receiver, that is if I decide to buy one. I already have a Marantz SR 6008 and it’s not that I’m unhappy with it at all.

    Looking to purchase a Vintage Marantz receiver and need suggestions.....

    Ahhh we think alike. The ommision of the LED upgrade caught my eye too. I think I can get that upgrade done at an AV repair near me. As for price tho and this is what has me thinking really really long about this is 1200 with wooden case, 1000 without it.
