| Whats on your turntable tonight? @middlemass That is so funny, I had one of those suitcase systems, too. But I was younger, about 9 years old. My first system, at age 19, was a Marantz 2270 receiver, Philips 212 turntable with a Stanton 681EE cartridge, and a pair of Altec spe... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Today...P.J. Harvey 'To Bring You My Love' Coincidental that the comment on distortion sounding undistorted came after I had played that album today. It's really amazing how the overmodulation on the microphone, which is highly distorted (only ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I agree about the distortion be remarkably undistorted. I don't have the album 'Dry' but I have 'To Bring You My Love'. The recorded distortion sounds great. Hmmm, shall we say clean distortion?@grey9hound Audiogon removed my post that was to ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? You got me interested so I did a bit more reading and research on the album. I found that the 2013 issue and the 2021 issue are both considered "imports". Both are marketed by Rhino but the 2021 issue is blue vinyl. It is possible that the blue ... | |
| As you have moved on, are there any items you remember fondly...or most fondly? In my first system, in 1973, my favorite piece and still is to this day, the Marantz 2270 receiver. I sold it to a friend to pursue a path for a much greater system. I wish that I still had that receiver. It was gem.My all time greatest and mos... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @noromance I have that Alice Cooper album, bought it new when it first came out, and then saw the concert of it (at the Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino). It was a very good recording and always sounded quite good. Just a few months ago I rec... | |
| LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING @dover +1, absolutely! My Delos is an excellent cartridge and I highly regard it as an integral component of my system. I fully agree, this thread should be deleted altogether. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I forgot to mention, the Jennifer Warnes album is on Impex label. Anything you can get on Impex, get it. They really do everything very well. Superb production quality. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Several good albums from later afternoon into the evening. With a halibut steak done on the Traeger grill, in between sets. Yum!Neil Young 'After The Gold Rush' The other Neil Young reissues are very good. This one is terrible. Very warped a... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @spiritofradio I just received the Deja' vu album. Atlantic/Rhino, as noted on the paper insert, and as you had indicated. What a beautiful total presentation of packaging. I also received a new copy of Talking Heads, 'Speaking In Tongues'. I... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? To answer the question.I wish that my wife enjoyed the hi-fi even half as much as I do. About 98% of the time I play my system she leaves the room, no matter what the music is. I take showers daily so it's not that I smell bad. She liked the Ma... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? I have Rush "Moving Pictures" as an original pp issue. It is so wonderful SQ but I bought the reissue done on DMM process and was somewhat disappointed. Snappy, dynamic and all that, but the timbre and overall tonal quality seemed thin. Quieter... | |
| When Everything Comes Together It's Saturday, and I am confident that later this evening, after a hit or two on the pipe, my system will sound the best it has to offer. This is a very repeatable condition, as proven every Saturday night. It's been that way since my very first... | |
