@dayglow   Thanks for that information.  I'll search for it, either new or on Discogs.  I bought Love Explosion when it first came out, in 1984.  I'm surprised that I didn't get her next album.  Maybe today, though!

@middlemass  When seeking out the Wilson remix of Aqualung be absolutely certain to get the one that is a very thick Gatefold and has 25 pages of incredible information and pictures inside, bound as part of the package.  I don't know if there is a...

@middlemass  I am so glad that it worked out well for you.  The Wilson remixes are really quite good.  Example; my 70s U.S. pressing of Aqualung also sounds like a 1960 transistor radio and the Wilson remix is a true high fidelity record.  The sam...

@middlemass   I have the Wilson remix of Stand Up and Aqualung.  Both are very good and I tend to like the sonics of Stand Up the best, between them.  Very quiet vinyl, flat, and really good SQ overall.  I couldn't find benefit available.  Where d...

Thanks Steve.  I see the EMI meters/testers for around $130 for a new one.  I'll look to find a good condition used one and go from there.  I think it would be fun to check the line when I feel the music is sounding better.  As well, to check the ...

I'm curious now and would like to get an EMI meter.  I have no idea what is on the grid and at my power panel (especially with the heat in Southern California and so many air conditioners running all day).  I have an Audioquest Niagara 3000 for my...
