| Best Phono Stage Balanced Audio Technology (BAT) makes fabulous phono stage components. The latest model, VK-P90 ($13,000) is on my radar for later this year. That will complete my main electronics by matching with my other BAT components; preamp and power amp (... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Albert King with Stevie Ray Vaughan - In Session AP/QRP 45rpm. This is just what the title suggests, a live (studio) recording with Albert having Stevie sitting in when Stevie was a young up & coming star. Very cool session, no doubt. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @dayglow That's what I remember, too. But it sure sounded poor today. It was the first album I played, and there is a warm-up time for the tubes to sound better. But this was worse than that. Maybe something on the stylus? I always clean the... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Men At Work - Business As Usual Rather thin sounding SQ. I remember this sounding better back when it was new. Different times, different system, and who know why else... Zubin Mehta conducts L.A. Philharmonic Orchestra - Suites from Star... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I have that B-52s album and it's in perfect condition. I bought it when it first came out. I also have the follow up album, Mesopotamia. Both are excellent recordings, and the music is really fun. I'll have to give them a spin sometime soon. ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Thanks Steve, and I believe that you are absolutely correct. Should be about 30 to 45 days from now. Really looking forward to that! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? John Klemmer - Barefoot Ballet Robert Plant / Alison Krauss - Raise The Roof Muddy Waters - Folk Singer AP/QRP 45rpm. It's like you're in the studio! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? My copy of Are You Experienced arrived last week, but I have not yet played it. I always had the stereo version so I am accustom to the one-channel of Jimis' voice on those cuts. Still dealing with and nursing our dog; he's not doing well and st... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @j_husker Thanks for the good tip on Etta James, "At Last". I have wanted that album and with a little research found that the Jackpot reissue (that you have) is mastered by Kevin Gray and pressed at RTI. The other reissues are on labels where ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @dayglow Your reviews are both inspirational and helpful. I can't thank you enough. Enjoy the music and your entire vinyl collection. Some '80s today... The FIX - Reach The Beach A very respectable recording and rather quiet vinyl. Tear... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? ELO - Face The Music Very early pp I have had since back in the day. sounds pretty good and a great album. ELO has been on this thread a bit recently so had to pull this copy and play it. Dianna Krall - The Look Of Love I received this ... | |
| most beautiful (looking) speakers Another one here for Daedalus Audio. One reason I have a pair of their Apollo 11 on order (due to ship in about 6 to 8 weeks) is how stunningly beautiful they are. The other reason is how stunningly beautiful they sound. As bespoke build, my ch... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw Hey Steve, please provide a quick review of the Patricia Barber album, "Higher". Musical quality as well as sonic quality. Impex typically does a fabulous job at producing a quality product, of course, but I am interested in the musical q... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @spiritofradio I have just one REL sub (S/812) and find it to do exactly what you describe. I would love to have two of these subs but physical space and room layout does not permit. My settings are very low, about 40hz, and around 10:00 o'cl... |
