@reubent how funny, as part of my TT culling I gave a close friend and fishing Buddy a Basis 1400 for his birthday... I am down to three - hopefully headed to two

enjoy the music :-)
@reubent a wise man once said to me “ ya don’t see any uhauls going to heaven, and IF by chance ya do - they are parked in a long line outside the gate...”

Of course, sliding into home plate penniless and exhausted is the trick...
I asked a record seller on Discogs ( SedonaAntiques ) for a grade difference refund on a Delaney and Bonnie that was advertised as NM-
he apologized and said, what do you want ?
i replied, you know the market better than me but this record is good at best and filthy- donate the difference to your local food bank 

I waited a month or so with no reply, so I tagged him with negative feedback.

in his feedback, he accused me of trying to shake him
down

needless to say, the appeals process was swift and short...

@slaw we are so California chill here that could never happen ! All good so far. Bringing back a few NOS from my Seattle tube collection to roll in... like all things system synergy is a must....
James - yes I think you could characterize Anne’s work and niche that way. I prefer careful attention to the recording chain by an artist concerned with quality- back when I was more into high speed tape I was invited to hear her perform live ( unamplified ) at a session being recorded as well - so I have a pretty good idea what her voice and piano sound like - not my favorite music but not my least. I will check out your referral as well :-)
best

@noromance yea the Patti is good - there is a nice paragraph on the recording, mostly microphone choice and coverage... the horns convinced me we MUST have a Telefunken U-47, which is gonna leave a mark ( pardon the pun $ )
Might I humbly suggest Anat Cohen - Claruscuro ( I only have her work on server, but it is IMO sublime )
