What is your associated equipment, especially amp? 
What happened to Jfox
While on the subject, how about audiofeil. He kept things interesting, that's for sure. His audio store's website is still active. 
One artist, band, you keep coming back to
Wanted to ad Grateful Dead. American Beauty is the studio album I always come back to. Attic of my life is a great song. 
One artist, band, you keep coming back to
Really so many great ones already mentioned. I can ad CSN, especially their s/t and CSNY De Ja Vu. Neil Young, Led Zep and lately loving Nick Drake: Pink Moon. Agree on Joni,love Ladies..., Blue, Court/Spark, and also For The Roses. Honestly didn'... 
Sleeper Debut Lps...70s classic rock
Agree with captain Winters on Pink Moon. I have the LP that came out after the set. It really gets it right. Now for the nitpick- it's his third album. Still agree it should be mentioned here. He had so few records in his short. I think he passed ... 
EL34 quad for LM Audio 211
Greatly appreciate the suggestions. When I do EL34 search, many seem to prefer the SED. I bet the Genalex KT77 is a winner as well. I can't give a solid reason, but my gut tells me to go SED. Maybe I will check with Upscale, and see what Kevin thi... 
EL34 quad for LM Audio 211
Not sure why I didn't say it in my OP, but I am also considering SED "Winged" C EL34's. There seems to be almost universal praise for the SED. Cheers -Don 
Why does most new music suck?
Interesting interview w/ Michael Fremer, link on Analog Planet. Mr Fremer was saying how the audio industry was striving back in the day. He alluded to the fact that the music was so great, people would want to hear it in the best way they can. I ... 
Are 45rpms worth the price?
"I got the Doors Morrison Hotel and was disappointed.. my original Doors sounds better." I will tread slowly on that one. I have a RED label original which I also like very much. I do have the s/t, Strange Days and LA Woman on 45. The s/t is very ...

What brand did you leave Rega for?
Notec- And according to your system page, now Well Tempered. Very nice setup btw! 
Ray Manzarek RIP
I was lucky enough to see Ray and Robby in Albany a few years ago. It was truly a memorable show. He was such an ambassador for the band. I sat with Morrison Hotel side 1, and moved on to LA Woman last night. Will start late and finish early, I gu... 
Hubbell 5362. Anyone try this outlet?
I use the 5362's throughout. I find them quite good, very natural sounding. I tried Cryo'ed 5362's from a company who Cryo's them. I found them to spotlight things, and they did not sound as natural to me. I won't mention the company, as I don't w... 
CJ ET3SE OR 16LS Series 2
I had a 16LS, followed by an Art, both series 1. The 16 handily beat my Prem 14 it replaced. The jump to the Art was smaller, so the 16 IMO was the sweet spot in that line. I have not heard the series 2, or the ET3SE. 
MC recommendation-Monbrison/VPI Scout II
Both excellent suggestions by Jmcgrogan2. I am not sure about the tonearm cart match, but can tell you about the Monbrison.... I have heard the 20X2L direct in, and it is very good. I have heard of another person who I trust do the same w/ the Del...
