A blowing session????
I'm a big fan of Miles' work in the late 60's and early 70's; just ordered the Vinyl Me Please box set of Electric Miles Davis, which has his albums from 'In a Silent Way' to 'Get Up With It'....   
She loves me she loves me not!
@czarivey - are Kevlar the white-looking cones? I like those too; my Marten speakers have those, and they don't even make a grille for them....

Joy of Vinyl YouTube channel just had a vid on this earlier in the week. From my experience, I can't tell any sonic difference; to me, it's a matter of aesthetics....  
Harman acquires Roon
That should certainly inject a large amount of money into Roon technology; be interesting to see what happens...   
Any other Pipe And Slippers Audiophiles out there?

buying (NOS) tubes online
@inna - did you tell Brent what your musical preferences are and what sound you are looking for? He wants to sell you tubes based on YOUR musical preferences, not his - he's got a very large variety on hand -  if you've described correctly what yo... 
Steely Dan UHQR
@goodlistening64 - That's why I buy my new vinyl, if I can get the title I want through them, from Amazon. Returns are never a problem; I had to return my 'Who's Next' box set because there was so much surface noise on one side; I had a new one fr... 
Invert ?
I've got Herron Audio line stage preamp and phono preamp. He's got polarity rocker switches on the backs of both; he recommends trying them each way but says a lot of people can't hear any difference, and I could not. He's also got an 'Invert' on... 
Steely Dan UHQR
@goodlistening64 - + 1; I am very happy with my UHQR of 'Aja', and I've already ordered some in the Atlantic Records 75th Anniversary series (and those are $60). What turntable Fremer uses doesn't bother me; it might make the UHQR sound better, bu...

@oddiofyl + 1 - I buy all my tubes from Brent; I can trust him to make good recommendations based on what I tell him I'm looking for, too.   
Perfect Vinyl Forever
@lewm - There is usually residual paper substance on the surface from paper, non-polylined sleeves. I understand that there can be substance residual just from the pressing process itself. These will usually not be that noticeable but it depends o... 
Zafvino Silver Dart Graphene vs. ?
I've also got Zavfino Prima speaker cables, and I am very happy with them....   
Perfect Vinyl Forever
@aubullience - indeed, there is residue from the pressing plant on new records, especially if they are not in poly-lined sleeves. I run every new record through my DeGritter on medium cycle before playing. Just takes about 6 or 7 minutes and I can...
