Leon Russell
A friend and I hitch-hiked over 100 miles to see him perform in Madison, Wisconsin, in the early '70s. I was 16 or 17 years old. No problem getting there, or back. One of the best concerts I attended. "Carney" is my favorite too. 
Madonnas immaculate collection is wicked....

Technoarm for LP-12?
Decided to purchase the Origin Live DC motor upgrade last night. I'll post results when I have the kit up and running. Jay at Audio Revelations worked with me to figure out which kit would best suit my system/needs. Went with the Advanced/DC100 mo... 
Food: What does the typical audiophile eat?
Fresh road-kill, in order to save money to purchase more lp's. If the critters are lucky, and I'm hungry, I'll raid the neighbors fruit trees, and put it on my cereal. Another great find is to get to the grocery store before they open, but after t...

Roger Waters Amused to Death LP what is it worth$
I can't afford a new $50K car, but I'd enjoy driving a new $16K compact car, or even a like-new, used one! 
How did we get into this crazy hobby?
My bad. My previous post was directed at Ckoffend. Trying to multi-task. (was on the phone) Sorry. 
How did we get into this crazy hobby?
Chashmal, I vaguely remember Beggars Tune, and I positively remember Sound World. Is this Appleton? Sound World was where I heard the best system I had ever heard, and it changed my life.

A Little Debbie is better than a Ho Ho! 
Best DIY tweak?
ROFLMAO!!! 
Technoarm for LP-12?
I have the Basik LV-X on mine as well. It has the Valhalla power supply. When I took it in for a tune-up, I asked about a tonearm upgrade, but was told I should upgrade to the Origin Live DC motor for a greater improvement over a tonearm change. 
question about breaking in speakers and amp
My Meadowlark Audio Osprey speakers took over 200 hours to break in. The time depends on the equipment. Not everything is broke in within 24 hours. 
Jolida CD-100...Who has moved on and...
Glory just doesn't like digital, nor solid state. I wouldn't call the Jolida garbage either, since I still have, and like my modified one. I once had a Sharp CDP that cost less than $100, and I wouldn't call that garbage either. It served its purp... 
Where to buy vinyl?
If you want excellent used vinyl, check out some antique malls. I've purchased many that look and play like new for as low as a dollar each. Picked up 90 classical lp's, mostly older Deutsche Grammophon, that look like they have never been played ... 
Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics:
I thought I was an audiophile nut, but I just can't bring myself to try this one. At 52, I must have reached the end of that perfect sound quest.....until something else comes around.....
