Jim, I was in Orlando. I'll take this over that!

Back from being out of town for a few days, digging into all the Record Store Day albums that showed up while I was gone. M.T.B. - Consenting Adults  
What are you streaming tonight?
Dee Gees (Foo Fighters) - Hail Satin, Qobuz.  I'm not really a Foo Fighters fan, and thought I wouldn't care for a Bee Gees tribute, but they actually did a very good and respectful homage to the Bee Gees.  Unfortunately, there are some Foo Fighte...

I picked up a couple more Zupreme headshells and mounted my Nagaoka MP-500 on one tonight and put it on the SL-1200. These things are a very inexpensive and noticeable upgrade over a stock or (most) aftermarket headshell.
