Demis Roussos with Aphrodite´s Child (forget the commercial euro-humppa he did after 1972)."666" 2LP by Aphrodite´s Child is quite stunning work, in every sense. One of the very best Prog Rock albums ever produced, no wonder Jon Anderson of Yes pr... 
Your favorite Sheherazade LP ?
Renaissance - Scheherazade and Other Stories: 1st UK press is the best ;)Anserment/Suisse Romande DECCA original (also its licensed Contour Red Label CC7501 (UK) is surprisingly good) 
Greg Lake RIP
John Wetton has gone too. He and Greg have the most melodic, pure, warm, emotional and manly voices. The 2 first ASIA records as well as the mid 70´s King Crimson stuff will be spinned again.Thanks for the incredible music RIP 
Worst Rock Band Ever !!!!

Worst Rock Band Ever !!!!
Darn, I almost forgot THE worst ones. Well, you see.... Back in 1975 in a record store I was looking at Kiss´ 1st album cover and I thought that is really bad. Not surprisingly, they were :) Years later when I saw those stupid poser faces of Guns´... 
Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording?

VPI Scout 2 vs. Luxman PD 441
Don´t sell your LUXMAN !! Second everything Dave the Messenger says, he has experienced many HQ decks over the years. Replace the original elastomer feet with Stlllpoints. Also heavy brass feet or even cheap maglev feet will do the trick IME . And...

Nandric,You can´t be more wrong on everything you just posted on me and you know that. I don´t believe in your stories anymore. You don´t fool me. You send me the cart in a thin letter. You told you send carts all over the world in a regular let... 
Anyone else having trouble getting cartridges back they sent for repair?
I was expecting a long time for my repairs because I told Mr. Harper that I don´t need quick repair. I would gladly use his services in the future if necessary. I can wait a very long time because I know he will do the job. And if not he will say ...
