BTW, I was able for find a reasonably priced copy of "Sweet Relief" June 2022 RSD exclusive on Discogs. Should be here next Tuesday. Hoping it was worth the effort. Have had it on CD since it's original release, and love the album. I'm not typically a big fan of various artists compilations, but I've always enjoyed this one...

I’ve been through 4 or 5 off of Amazon. Their return policy is so generous that it’s easy to find one your satisfied with. They have changed brand names often through the years so that makes it hard to recommend one that I’m still using after 4-5 years now. One with a larger water tank is nice. Remember that your usable amount of water is less than the tanks' stated capacity. |
Steve, It's a pp, but unfortunately, I am going to have to send it back to the seller. Just got it today and side two is badly worn and noisy, despite a deceptively clean surface appearance. It was rated NM, clearly on visual inspection only. Oh well, that's the danger of buying on eBay. Usually, I have better luck. I'll find a better one. |
Just arrived today, took me by a bit of a surprise, as it was sold as the stereo version, but instead the mono version, but it is very clean, and will keep it. Sounds very nice, and gives me a reason to put on my Ortofon mono cartridge and spin some of my mono collection….which I have been meaning to do.

Hey @slaw , how's the health? |
Hey James. Still testing positive although feel okay. If "God's FC" is Tillman's latest, I really like it. I can't keep up with artist' output like I use to. He's a big talent!
Set up my new to me phono stage and volume control this morning. Had to buy some cables/adapters to make it all work. Those will need some break-in I'd imagine. |
@slaw Hey Steve! Good morning. Are you back to work yet? Wanted to ask you: what you think of the new FJM? |
Thanks for your impressions @loomisjohnson . |
Peter Gabriel - 3 @mammothguy54 I really like that Beth Hart Zep tribute. I have only streamed it, but I thought she knocked it out of the park. |
@tgilb, @slaw, i really liked ukelele songs, and i think the "into the wild" soundtrack is hugely underrated (though watching that kid tear up the $15k check makes me want to strangle him). "earthling", was a miss for me--like you say vedder's much better at the straight acoustic stuff than at the lavishly-arranged pop songs. today's picks:sonny rollins, saxophone colossus--he can play the horn, but the real revelation here is max roach's drums, which are incredible moby grape, s/t--apparently ongoing copyright disputes make much of these songs unavailable on spotify, but i'm still in awe of this album. bob mosley may have been the great white soul singer.

Steve Winwood-Talking Back To The Night Side 1 Michael Franks-The Camara Never Lies Side 1 Bad Company-ST Side 1 Dave Mason-Certified Live Side 2 SQ Audiophile George Benson-White Rabbit(1979 2nd press) Side 1 SQ Audiophile Heatwave-Central Heating Side 2 Maggie Rogers-Heard It In A Past Life Side A Gary Moore-Victims Of The Future(Japanese pressing) Side 2 Could a "live" album win a SQ crown? Tonight it did. I'm aware that they "fix" live recordings, regardless its a great recording with top SQ and content. Maggie Rogers(2019) recording was not warped but scuffed it did have a sonic veil. Might purchase the CD to compare. Central Heating is a 5 star recording with near audiophile SQ if your a R&B fan check it out,
