Classic Rock Fans?
Speaking of Classic Rock. I saw the Yes 35th Anniversary Tour in San Jose last Saturday. It don't get any more classic than that. They were tight as all hell and Steve Howe keeps getting quicker every year. He has to slow down sometime - but that ... 
Grado Mono Reference Cartridge
My understanding is that any Grado cartridge can be ordered in Mono. Maybe check with your dealer. I think it is the same for Benz.

Duane, Greg and Warren were heavily influenced by John Coltrane and it shows in much of their music.

All I can say is that if you guys love the CD's you should hear the original mint vinyl on a good rig. Let me tell you, I've heard both and there is NO contest. Not always the absolute case (this is not a CD/LP debate flame), but it is so with All...

I Like it, too. The guys have cleaned themselves up at long last. Sad how many think it is the drugs that give them talent when they already have talent and merely destroy it with the drugs. Anyway, the guitar work on that album is mainly Warren H... 
TT setup woes
John - I am distressed that you are having such difficulties with the Illustrious/Hyperspace combo. On my Spacedeck w/Mat 1 the VTA was a snap. (maybe try a thicker mat of some sort to see how it changes things). Have you considered contacting 'No... 
cart upgrade
I would agree with Tom that a 9cu might be a stretch in that arm. Will likely sound very good, just maybe not as good as it might otherwise. Too bad. Also because I would suggest a Shelter 901 or 501 before the Koetsu Black. I've heard both somewh... 
TT setup woes
Hmmm, I have also heard others, in addition to Doug, comment that their 901 was sensitive to VTA. My 501 is far less picky about VTA than it is about VTF. Others have shared with me similar experience regarding the 501. No clue about the 90X, though.

John, because I have some experience with the 'Not/Illustrious combination (you of all folks knowing why), I will probably mention some things that you have already done but that others might find useful. I would first suspect the azimuth as Tom h... 
Vinyl playback is still a secret
They are going up in the Bay Area, California, too. Goodwills and other thrifts have gone from their LONG standard 99 cents to $1.99. The dollar bin at one music store is getting increasingly less populated. Once the mostly $2.49 LP's are now 3.99... 
New Graham Arm "Phantom"
Well, yeah, but I was hoping for an objective viewpoint! :-)Guess I will just have to wait. 
Nottingham Interspace
The Horizon is a great table - one of the best at its price point. But, it is of a different design than the Interspace, Spacedeck, and Hyperspace. I've never heard an RS arm on an Interspace but I do know that Nottingham will build for you the ap... 
Music for Passover
Fatparrot - with all that is now in the pot, I'd have to call, sit back, and laugh for several hours before dealing another hand! :-) 
There's no accounting for taste....
At first I thought it was the unearthing of Saddam's spider hole... 
Music for Passover
....AND a Stanley Myron Handelman! :-)
