Any favorites for cosmetics/design/how a product looks?
@deadhead1000  I haven’t thought about this for so long I’m kind of astounded I remember! I also had a Shure V15 III along with an Empire 2002 (bought with the TT) and a couple of Stanton 681EEE’s which I thought sounded the best. Haha, what a bl...

@deadhead1000 Back then my friends all had Marantz receivers and mostly JBL speakers. I was an outlier with the Sansui and ESS’s. I miss the displays of those receivers, intricate and cool! They got a lot of us, like me and you, hooked on audio.

those new Roxy Music reissues are pretty special! Greg, I agree. Not just great sonics, but super quiet (at least my copy is) vinyl and a single disc at 33 1/3. I need to pick up some others while they’re available.
