    Beware of Skywavebe

    I am sorry about having to post this but this will be a service to this community. The entity known as @skywavebe habitually refuses to return gear sent to him with complaints extending to 7 years! In my case it is almost 4 years and I have offered to pay for his “diagnostic” time as well as...

    change clocks/Pioneer DT 5000/510

    I had the dreaded chore of changing all the clocks in the house and car this morning. Except when it came to changing time on the DT 5000/10 that Rich P had refurbish for me. Now that was a pleasure how all the switches work perfectly and how incredible accurate they are. Thanks again , Rich

    Thanks Pustelniakr

    I have an affinity for those old silver faced/blue digital Pioneer timers. They develop problems which the solutions were short lived. Leave it to Rich to properly diagnose the real problem and devise a proper fix. He refurbed my two units, both the electronics and cosmetics and they are a...

    Shure/Jico SAS changes

    I haven't seen mention here about the SAS changes at Jico recently. There was a price drop on the Neo SAS to $167/$200 and a reappearance of the original SAS. Now the Neo SAS are gone from the site and original(Boron) are back?

    Is It A Dream -The Vocaleers (Red Robin)1953 Purchased on this day in 1964 , thankfully because my Grandmother gave me the then large sum of $10 for my Birthday. This led me on a 48 year quest to run the label. Just recently got number 37 out of the 40 releases. I don't think the last...

    First new vinyl in 26 yrs....and last

    I have been a record collector since 1956 and the last actual new record I bought was Dylan's Biograph in 1985. In the following years I did buy much NOS and even 78RPMs from the early 40's which had never been played. Believe it or not I only had to return two new items in all the years that...

    RIP: Bobby Robinson

    I don't think many if any folks here have ever heard of Bobby Robinson ( record label owner,producer,writer)who passed on 1/7/11 at age 93 in NYC. He was a most important figure in the development of my musical interest back in the early 1960s. He was a seminal figure in RnB, RnR music in...

    Help with a SanDisk clip

    At age 64 I have so far resisted using a MP3 device but today purchased a SanDisk clip. I was easily able to load a file on it and a quick listen with the buds was actually quite good. When I loaded the next file it was intermingled with the previous file. I then noticed no matter how I...

    Jico Pickering XSV 3000/1st & 2nd impression

    The Pickering XSV was given to me and as I was looking for a change of pace for the Shure V15 IV /SAS I haved used exclusively for the past 31 years I decided to get a Jico Shibata for it as I read that it had a more prononced high end than the staid Shure. I had been looking at the Denon...

    Jico brush problem

    I have had experience with Jico as I have been using an SAS V15 IV for three years and had the chance to A/B with the decent original and it was the equal at least. I was going to get a Jico or Lp Gear sylus for a Stanton 680 (that I use a .7 conical to play 1950s 45 RPM) but decided to...
