@slaw @dayglow In 1976, tired of my budget lo-fi stereo I went into McLain’s HiFi in Beaverton, OR. The rep put that Thelma LP on and, kind of stunned, I ended up walking out with a Garrard Zero 100, Sansui 8080 and ESS AMT1a’s which got me started in this awesome performance audio biz. Playing that record takes me back there, I love that feeling.

@pierce911 Nice phono, I have the 9.0X version and it continues to amaze. It took about 40 hours to sound its best, but like you found it’s good just out of the box. Congrats!
@tomic601 That’s an enjoyable LP Jim!

@sourpuss123 , no kidding I’ve heard Howard Roberts but not known it. Excerpt from wiki:
Between these 2 guitars, and a few others that Roberts used, his playing can be heard as the lead guitar on the theme from The Twilight Zone as well as acoustic and electric guitar on I Love Lucy, The Munsters, Bonanza, The Brady Bunch, Gilligan's Island, Green Acres, Get Smart, Batman, Beverly Hillbillies, Andy Griffith, Peter Gunn, Lost in Space, Dragnet, Wild Wild West, Mission: Impossible, The Odd Couple, Dick Van Dyke, I Dream of Jeannie, and the theme for the film Bullitt.
Cool, worth checking him out—thanks!

I didn’t care for disco way back when but turns out the LP sounds great on a good system. My wife snuck it into the rack, good move.
