This is fun!  What a wonderful group of people.I've been having some serious trouble with my analog front end.  I believe it's my cartridge.  Foolishly, I sold ALL of my old cartridges so not even one do I have for changing out to test and trouble...

James, I also have the "Rhymin Simon" album, bought it new in 1973.  It's excellent!Your question on the SQ of my "I Robot" UHQR pressing.  The sound is slightly tilted up, a signature of the times.  However, not at all bombastic or obnoxious.  An...
