| Favorite Ella Recordings I'd avoid the live recordings. There's nothing more annoying than the scattin' of Ella Fitzgerald. Actually, I'd first pursue, if you haven't already, recordings of Dinah Washington, Abby Lincoln, Nancy Wilson, Peggy Lee, Rosemary Clooney, Anita O... | |
| Help me choosing turntable Have you considered a Rega TT? | |
| How do you know it's time for external phono stage Psychic,I searched the archives for your TT choice but couldn't find it.
