Tom, I was just goofing.  I have some compilations that have side 1 & 4 on one disc and 2 & 3 on the other.  I always chuckle a little when I see those.  I do get annoyed by that, but on the other hand, just the last couple of days I've p...

Hey "turntable tonight?" thread guys. Anyone else annoyed by this recent practice of placing a standard LP length recording onto 2 disks (4 sides)? 2-3 songs on a side makes for lots of up/downs to swap sides. I think they sound amazing.  I jus...

Thanks for pointing out the hole in my collection James.  I just ordered a copy on purple vinyl.

James, I don't have that one on vinyl, but it's on my network.  I'm a fan of Tommy Bolin also!

Lucinda has been on a roll!  
Zephyr MIMC vs Hana ML
I don't have those two exact cartridges, I have the Hana SL and the Soundsmith Aida II, both of which are close to the two you're considering.  I have heard the ML at Jim's house and found it to be similar to the SL, just a little more refinement....
