    Tardcore got a reaction from Corgipants in Inner Sleeve Replacement Question   
    NEVER STOP BEING A WEIRDO!!!
     
    I keep all the original packaging unless it's damaged for some reason.  records go in new inner sleeves and jacket goes in new outer sleeve.
     
    just imagine 50 years from now when some collector is going through your collection and they're like wow...nice collection but I can't believe he threw away all the original record paper sleeves.  trees don't exist anymore and those sleeves are irreplaceable.

    the traditional and most effective solution is a shelf.   Particularly if you live in an older place with wood floors, all the anti vibration doodads in the world may not solve the issue.

    This one really bummed me out.   She was adorable, hilarious, and a complete badass.  Not to mention the best rock and roll scream of all time.  I finally got to see them at PRB back in 2015.
     
    Here's my favorite Muff's song:
     
     
     
    RIP

    I was lucky enough to see Kim play many times in the 90's. There was no one like her, though many tried to be her. Amazing songwriter and her scream singing will always be in my head. Huge loss.
    New record coming out soon.

    Jaime, Arya, And The Hound are basically the suicide squad. I’d like to see Arya abandon her vendetta v.s Cersei to help the Hound Kill his brother and Jaime step in to Queenslay his sister.

    Tardcore got a reaction from njpunkmusic in Cambridge CXN Digital Streamer   
    My streaming setup is pretty simple. 
     
    I run an Apple TV (currently the 4k,  formerly a 3rd gen, and an Apple Airport Express) into my Marantz SR5008 which is passing the signal in Pure Mode (2.0 stereo, no signal to sub)  to my Marantz PM8004 in amp only mode powering Monitor Audio RX8 speakers. 
     
    In other words, I am using my AV receiver (SR5008) purely as a digital preamp and not to drive my speakers.
     
    I have tried running the same digital signal from the Apple streaming units into my Emotiva XDA-2 DAC into the PM8004 and didn't really notice a difference and I had to push some additional buttons to get it set up that way versus just using the same setup I use for movies, etc.

    we should be thankful for all our records.
    There are starving children in other countries who have to bargain for their records.
    please think of the children.

    recently updated my phone situation to an iPhone 8 Plus.  Which, of course, comes with the opportunity to dive into the world of portable headphone amp/dacs.
     
    Ended up picking up a refurb Oppo HA-2SE.  It's kind of overkill for me but I liked the features and it does sound good in addition to being a beautiful piece of gear that is oddly satisfying to hold in your hand.
