@noromance Yeah!  That's one of my favorite songs ever.  I think it's one of the greatest recorded performances ever.  I know many will disagree.  I've played it for friends that definitely didn't.@grey9hound The QL-66YF was JVCs top of the line D...

Buffalo Springfield Again.  I'm going to be listening to this again.  And again.  And again.  I have 3 copies and none of them are in Discogs.   
What phono preamp are you using?
I picked up a Soundsmith Aida II not too long ago and have been using it off and on with my Technics SL 1200 MK2 and Pass Labs XP-15.  Sounds great, very quiet, dynamic, detailed, and a big soundstage.

Jim, that Melody Gardot record sounded like crap. It had what looked like some kind of residue on it, very noisy. Brand new. I'll be returning it. I'm this >< close to calling off the sale.

Melody Gardot - Currency of Man. I have someone coming to buy my JVC QL-Y66F DD tomorrow. Giving it a last hurrah (and having second thoughts).

@keegiam We post links, but it's usually to a site like Discogs in reference to a particular pressing. You can talk about records on the internet, but it's no place to listen to them.
