Brian,
Yes, because I find the responsibility to be greater than the return.
FWIW,

I sold all of the MyMats I'm comfortable with. AA

Thanks to all who made this journey with me.

Very excited about the latest arrival. Vinyl Me Please "The Story of Philadelphia International Records" box.

All albums had lacquers cut at BG Mastering from the original tapes. AAA all the way. Pressed at QRP. 

Everything about the materials and presentation is first class. Even the packing tape on the outer shipping carton has special shipping tape with advertisement of the contents. I thought it was somewhat pricey but having experienced just the unboxing, worth it!!!

Tim, 

Their prices are a little higher than others. Have to pay attention to who remasters/source/& pressing plant on what they offer as they are all different. You can acquire points which helps.

Still streaming, for now ...

B-52s "Live! 8-24-1978" 

Never would've appreciated this band back then. Love it!

I am looking for to my return home. Listening to vinyl and to get more excitement back here!

Tom Petty
An American Treasure
Lp 1

@bdp24 ,

I’m sorry Leon chose Tom over the other guy. 
(must have been a reason)
Just finished comparing "Plastic Ono Band", the latest to my Lennon box.
The box is vastly superior. Back to Black
Through my MyMat selling, met a new/local music lover.

@spiritofradio,

James, I enjoyed reading your record store exploits. You're a good writer.

Back in my Stereophile reading days, one of the features they did that I truly enjoyed was the visits to record stores in their travels.

Yeah, only now I have an in-line volume control (SPL Volume 2) 

I plan on trying a passive later.

Arrived today...

Buffy Sainte-Marie "Medicine Songs" 2021/TrueNorthRecords 

American Aquarium "Live @ Terminal West"  2016

 Gregory Alan Isakov "With The Colorado Symphony"  2016

Arrived today:

2016/Sony Legacy

Arrived today,

The Delines "The Imperial" 

OP/Rough Trade album of the month (sealed) with cd. 

2019/El Cortez Records

 

Joel,

I had a local friend with VPI TNT jr/ET 2/Herron/Marantz amp/Audio Artisrty open baffle speakers......
Oh yeah, Lyra Delos.

Listened a LOT.

He had his system set up to be bright.

We listened to one another’s system at great length.

I bought my K&K Audio Trio after this.

The only reason the K&K phono stages aren’t in the current discussion is they are no longer made.

My Trio listed for $1k less than the Herron and SQ was at least it's equal. 


@big_greg,

Does that mean Keith will let you audition an ordered component on trial?
