@j_husker ya man…my first high end cartridge was a Grado. Somewhere i have a Platinum in need of a rebuild….. midrange to die for in those wood bodies… glad the Mc integrated is all you hoped..

‘The Three’ turns out to play better than it looked, not in the VG+ as stated, but very nice. 

Another from the same seller, and have concerns about its condition too vs it’s claim….so we’ll see…

Recorded in ‘Scandinavia’ April 1960. 

This one has been on my ‘wish list’ for a while.

As recommended by @tomic601, just arrived today. Hope it plays better than it looks initially…

Joe Sample/Ray Brown/Shelly Manne - The Three. Inner City Records 1978

@gardners501 —Too cool! Modern kites, especially quad lines are a blast! Fun pastime, I can get lost in it. Like playing the stereo!

Mountain / Nantucket Sleighride

@bslon - I see from your avatar that we share at least one other hobby besides audio - I enjoy quad kite flying, too!

Kinks / Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround—Part 1
1970 Warner Bros.

Any “system synergy” naysayers are welcome to stop by and give a listen to my rig. The ATVM740ml is $55 more than the Grado Opus3, and sounds half as good on my system. Side note, the MA352 is everything I had hoped and more.
