| Whats on your turntable tonight? Steve Miller Band "Number 5" I forgot how good this album is. Been probably 32 years since I last played it. David Crosby "If I Could Only Remember My Name" Second time to play this since receiving it last week. Really a great album and v... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Chris Isaak is wonderful! I recently received a copy of Mingus "Ah Um" that is the Move On Vinyl 180 gr reissue. It's in my stack for tonight. Now this is a bonus. My wife remembered a box we had stuffed away that is full of records she had fr... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Happy Thanksgiving to all on this thread. You are such a wonderful group of people. Very kind, to say the least. A day of thanks and reflection to be grateful for what we have. There should be more days like this, everywhere in this world. | |
| Is the Audio Ref-6SE worth 7K more than the BAT VK-80? I have not owned ARC product so I can't speak from that perspective. But I do own a BAT VK-33SE preamp (direct predecessor to the VK-80 preamp) and can attest that the build quality is superb, as is the sound quality. I recently purchased the ne... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Iron Butterfly "Heavy" A very early pressing, just had to listen to it once more before filing it. Not such good SQ, but what a fun filled time of the memory banks. David Crosby "If I could Only Remember My Name" I never bought this when it ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? James, enjoy that new phono cartridge. I am very interested in Soundsmith and will likely be getting one fairly soon. Bravo to you, enjoy it immensely. And yes, the Stevie Ray Vaughan albums from AP/QRP at 45rpm are just awesome. I should g... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? For contact cleaning I use a cleaning cloth supplied from Audioquest. They have one specifically for silver contacts and one for all other metals (typically, copper or gold). Zero residue as there is no solution. I prefer not using a solution. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Stevie Ray Vaughan "The Sky Is Falling" Stevie Ray Vaughan "In Step" Both are Analogue Productions / QRP. Outstanding! Joan Armatrading "Show Some Emotion" Played this the other day, had to listen to it again. Just such a wonderful album,... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Steve, it looks like the special version at Acoustic Sounds is that it's the same version but for $31.98 verses from Amazon at $22.49. I can't see any other difference, both are Atlantic Records and the description of being the 50th Anniversary E... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Steve, are you referring to the newly released 50th Anniversary edition of the David Crosby album? It's available at Acousti Sounds and I was considering buying it, now with the 10% discount they have going on for Black Friday. Please advise. T... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Back from Mammoth Mountain, had a great early season ski trip. Can't wait for more of that, but we really do need more snow. Come on Winter! Joan Armatrading "To The Limit" Joan Armatrading "Show Some Emotion" Both are excellent albums. I ... | |
| Have you ever been turned off by an Arrogant Dealer? Thoughts Maybe I have just been lucky, but all of my audio purchases over the years, at several good independent retailers, have been positive experiences. And upon my return to the store(s), weather or not I am intending to buy anything, they have always... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Some good stuff you guys have been listening to. Yes, The Tubes were a great band. Fee Waybil was an accrobat on stage and the music was a blast. I saw them 3 times between 1974 - 1976. I had no idea how my mention of wallpaper removal wouls s... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? We've been stripping wallpaper so not much vinyl spinning the last few days. Finally go to my new Iron Butterfly album. But first... Iron Butterfly "Heavy" My original copy from 8th grade was toast so I got a VG+ copy some years back to repla... |
