Re: reverb, etc

Yeah....that still happens to me...hopefully not with this new SL-1200
turntable i'm getting and after I replace the surrounds on my speakers :)

Also...radio stations do have ahigh fideltiy equipment....a record played
in the stuido (and monitored over the studio speakers) will sound MUCH
better than when when you listen tothe same tape/LP/CD on some cheezy $100
all-in-one home hi-fi
