Mmakshak I just got back from a vacation so have not followed the last bit of threads. I am still working on the process of listening and comparing. I have not had much time since i was away. That being said, while on vacation I did find a choice record shop in the Okanogan valley with lots of used LP's from the 70's and 80's. needless to say tonight it will be all to much fun dialing it all in (or at least trying)
