Happy Thanksgiving to all. 
What is the first album you purchased, and do you still have it?
Rubber Soul (U.S. version)Still have it and it still sounds great (my old Shure tracked at 1g and now I have a line contact stylus at 1.7, so my guess is that the groove depth that the stylus travels now was never touched in my youth)Probably my f... 
VPI 16.5 vacuum cleaner
If it is like my old 17F, you can unscrew the unit from the bottom. It will reveal the entire line and you can check to see what's wrong.

A second version from Amazon also skips in the same spot on sides 1 and 2. Goners beware. The deadwax info refers to Miles 1/2 speed Abbey Road Room 30. Maybe time for a shot at Quality Records pressing. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Tonight it's Wrecking Ball ( EmmyLou). Brings back vivid memories of the tour with Daniel Lanois which was superb.

new york city audio show 2018
Robyatt Audio. Best of show again. I will never tire of Quads, this time with Butler Nomad monos which Robin says amplifies the character of the 300B tube. It was magical.Also I thought Vitalis audio had one of the most interesting displays I’ve e... 
Zerostat Milty really?
I have a Destat 2 which proved much more effective than my original Zerostat or my Milty 3.

Your (perfect) record
Reubent:I would love to hear your take on it. Teatro is a diamond in the rough. 
Your (perfect) record
Reubent and Slaw:Love Wrecking Ball and Lanois' production which led me to buy Teatro with the same Lanois musicscape. With Teatro though, it's Willie Nelson and EmmyLou and it is one of my favorite albums of all time.
