    Vinyl without album covers?

    Being a collector as well as a listener I buy anything as long as the price is right.I lean mainly towards Jazz so the cost of some mint originals can get kind of steep.You can get some fab music with great vinyl cheap if the covers are so-so or gone. I recently picked up 30 classic jazz...

    A good ebay response.

    I have bought over a 100 lp's off ebay and dozens of other things.Have not been dissapointed once!!I think my success is due to a few rules I use 1) Believe only 1/2 of what a seller says and bid accordingly. 2) Always ask about shipping and if the response is not what you want,do not bid. 3) If...

    Is it me or my gear??

    I have noticed the same things.Being an old school vinyl guy,the dynamic range of lp's always seems to be superior to cd's.I understand it has to do with the way cd's are mixed.Some of the cd reissues of older titles also sound like crap,but,in the same vein some vinyl reissues of older...

    Best Snipe software?

    I honestly do not understand the "sniper" idea.If I want item X and am willing to pay $120,why not just bid that.If I win I win,if not I was not willing to pay more!There has to be a limit to what you are willing to spend.If another will pay more won't he just beat you? What happens if...
