A nice tribute to my favorite living musician, the last man standing.

Steely Dan UHQR
So, I just had to look. In my stacks I currently have three copies of this record with the AB 1006 stamper. One is a yellow wax version. One is a really clean (looking) regular wax version and #3 is also very nice in regular wax. Completely forgot... 
My High End Audio Gear As A Long Term Investment!!!
I have been happy and stable with my system for some time now. I too have had to face old guy hearing issues. Not too bad yet but enough to make me realize that doing the swap out of gear just because is a silly proposition. Until now. I have beco...

What’s the most underrated used Audio Research gear?
  +1 ozzy62  SP6 was my long time favorite.  
What was your first record?
First I ever bought with my own money was the 45 Monster Mash by Bobby "Boris" Pickett. Walked to the record store on a Saturday morning and laid down the $1.00 profit from my paper route. Man I loved that song.
