Whats on your turntable tonight?
@slaw I love Montrose!  The S/T will always be my favorite, but Paper Money is no slouch.  Moving on to Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies.  I "downgraded" my 2nd table to a Shure V15 IV cart with a Jico SAS and have been playing some of my less...

That Tom Petty "Masterphile" recording turned out to be a bit of a bust.  At first it seemed really detailed, but after listening a bit it just seemed a bit bright and tipped up.  I played the old standard pressing I had and it had a lot more bass... 
Marantz SA 10 compared to
I have the Marantz KI Pearl and have owned a Modwright modded Oppo BDP95 and currently have the BDP 105D and UDP 203.   The Pearl is a few notches down the line from the SA 10 and is a much better CD/SACD player than any of the Oppo players I've o...

Can anyone hear the difference when you add REL subwoofers when playing two channel
Larry, mzkmxcv was talking about the connectors Rel uses, not the Rythmik servo technology.

Hall & Oates - Rock 'N Soul Part 1.  I dropped it last night when I was putting it away and the record slid along the side of my coffee table.  It left a nasty skid mark.  I'm playing it again right now to see if it damaged it. 
Bought some `Vintage Gear`
Speaking of the Shure V-15 IV, I bought one recently with a broken cantilever for around $100 and put in a JICO SAS stylus. I’ve been listening to it the last couple of nights on my 2nd turntable and it sounds great. Now I have a really nice setup...
