Brian, I strongly recommend "If I Could Only Remember My Name" 50th Anniversary Edition.  Really good music, really well done remaster/reissue.  My copy is exceptionally quiet vinyl.  I hope that yours will be, too. Got back from Mammoth Mountain...

Tony Bennett - Snowfall   Now that's a title I like! Guys, please keep it spinning and enjoy the music.  I'm heading north for Mammoth Mountain in the morning to ski for the rest of this week.  4 to 6 feet just fell over the past 2 days and the m...

@spiritofradio James, yes I do have that album of Dave Mason & Cass Elliot.  The SQ is just OK, as you stated.  The music is quite good and I am glad that I have it.   I can only imagine what Cass Elliot would have delivered had she not died...

The Alman Brothers Band  "Eat A Peach" Got to pick another one out now.   Man, you guys have some interesting music.  So much that I have never heard of. Right on!

To answer Jim's question, the wood is quarter-sawn North American walnut and the inlays are of two woods, claro walnut and I can't remember the name of the other, but it's a gorgeous combo.  These are the best choices so not to clash with the zebr...

Hi guys, I’m back from my travels to Washington and visit with Daedalus Audio for speaker evaluation. By the way, some really great music selections on this page. I look forward to spinning vinyl again, tonight. I stayed with a friend at Lake Ste...

Then again, Jim's thought makes even more sense.  The untouched groove area is a nice surface for a deeper tracking stylus. Oh, this hobby...er, rabbit hole!

Thanks guys.  I hope for good things. I agree with Brian, the mono cartridge with a conical stylus would better serve mono records.  At the most, an elliptical stylus.  I could be wrong, of course. My longer-term plan is for a second tonearm, on...

My postponed trip from last week to Washington state is on for tomorrow.  I am staying with a friend in Lake Stevens and will be at Daedalus Audio on Thursday.  I sure hope those speakers live up to everything I anticipate for them.  If so I will ...

Steve, I have a 40+ year relationship with the owner of Upscale Audio.  He provides me with very substantial discounts so I really try to stick with the brands that he carries.  I believe that Feickert Analog is the best of his turntable assortmen...

Steve, no, my Aretha's Gold is not the MFSL.  It's an Atlantic reissue.  I would have bought the MFSL issue if I could have found it. And yes, I am still listening to the "possibly still defective Delos".  I have numerous SQ issues from my analog...

Aretha Franklin   "Aretha's Gold"  Excellent music, but rather poor SQ on this album.  Too bad... The Allman Brothers Band  "Brothers and Sisters"  From my newly acquired treasure trove.  Cleaned up very well, sounds rather good.  Killer album! ...

Steve, no not a "test pressing" as you figured out.  But certainly one of the early pressings off of the master as this is the first group of discs available, before pressings available to dealers after April 13, 1983. Note; that was at my very f...
