| Whats on your turntable tonight? @richmon: It took my old lady more than a night to plump up — guess I was lucky! Lol | |
| Where’s My Weakest Link? The one bit of advice that I question is replacing power cords. If the amp, pre-amp or whatever is quality equipment, WHY would the manufacturer then hobble its performance by putting an inadequate power cord on it? It makes little sense to me t... | |
| The System Percentages Thread I am just getting started on this journey. So, I don’t have much money invested to this point. My strategy is to prioritize things, so that the money I do spend produces the most results.For things I don’t prioritize: Radio and, so far, phonogr... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bug_greg: Haha . . never thought anybody would have that Savoy Brown album . . except me. Looking at it right now. Need to clean it tomorrow and see how it sounds. 👍🏻 | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Country Joe & the Fish, “Electric Music for the Mind and Body”, mono version. Not what I expected. Mellow psychedelic vibe to it. | |
