Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided
@astolfor I had a VPI Classic 2 with a Classic 3 tonearm, dual pivot option, and the Periphery Ring.  I went from that to an Acoustic Signature Wow XL.  Both were great tables.  I liked the smaller form factor of the Wow XL for my space and the mo...

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Greatest Hits.  This one is a 3 disc Warner Special Products release.  I bought it about 7 years ago and probably only listened once.  It's in nice shape and sound quality is good for a compilation.
