Whats on your turntable tonight?
Thanks James! I picked it up about 6 years ago for 5 bucks. A little surface noise, but still a great listen.  
Aren't you sorry you missed out on this one? It's already sold out! LOL
There's no accounting for taste, mine included.  I actually like it, except for the big Fender logo.  It would look much cleaner without it.  Would I pay that much for it?  Not a chance.

I just added a pair of CS 2.3 speakers to my collection and was pleasantly surprised.  I've read that they need tons of power, but they seem to do fine with my Herron M1 150 wpc monoblocks.  I've been in love with my KEF Reference 1 speakers since... 
What are you streaming tonight?
Donald Fagen's - The Nightfly Live, Qobuz Hi-Res.  Why this isn't featured on the front page of Qobuz' new releases is beyond me.

What a weekend! Picked up some new to me Thiel 2.3 speakers and a KL Audio LP 200 ultrasonic cleaner, but haven't had much time with the speakers and the US cleaner is still in the box. Madeleine Peyroux - Secular Hymns. 
Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above
I have a Sapphire on order. I have a number of cartridges and was excited to find a NOS Jelco 750D so that i can easily swap them out.  
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Donald Fagen - The Nightfly, SACD.  Wow!  This is one of my all-time favorite records and I noticed a couple of things I hadn't before.  Playing on my cheapo Japan import  Onkyo DV-SP205FX. 
Still happily using vintage gear?
I love my JVC QL-Y66F turntable.  It can hold its own with some of my newer more expensive tables (after some extensive damping of the plinth with plasticlay).  I also have a Realistic Lab 440 table and some Klipsch Quartets.  Oh, and a few FM tun...

Toto IV. I'm not really a big Toto fan but there is no denying that this is a really nice sounding record. 
To Harbeth or not to Harbeth, That is the question...
Interesting thread.  I have the Super HL5+ (anniversary) and P3ESR SE.  I had the Super HL5+ in my main system for a while and eventually replaced them with KEF Reference 1.  I do like to listen loud sometimes and the Super HL5+ get a little edgy ...

@whart  I admit that my appreciation of Alice has increased over the years.
