Whats on your turntable tonight?
All Led-ed night:Led ZeppelinIIIV (Ruins album)Houses of the HolyPhysical Graffitiall first pressings from Japan. I found a guy in Tokyo and bought most every Led Zeppelin album he had. They are all so pristine. Not a pop, click or hum in the lot....

Vandersteen IIe Signatures, great speakers. 
Which MC for my setup?
Try the sublime Soundsmith VPI Zephyr, you won't be sorry. 
Sometimes my system sounds great, sometimes awful
