| Joni Mitchell, BLUE album is 50 years old, NYT Article My copy of the reissue of Blue sounds excellent! It is a wonderful album of music, the SQ is superb and the vinyl is very quiet. Couldn't ask for much more than that. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? My original copy of Joe's Garage is a bit on the bright side. Still, a great album and I certainly enjoy it. But maybe the DDA recording process is the reason is seems to be rather bright. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @big_greg Thank you for the information. I placed my order with Music Direct. They could not offer an ETA. I hope that it's before the end of this year. Thanks again. | |

| Stylus Cleaning Rituals I hope this helps the OP question.Step 1.) I clean the stylus with the stylus cleaning brush that came with my Lyra cartridge. I also have a Discwasher Stylus Cleaning Brush since 1975 but it's fairly large and the Lyra is nice and small. They ... | |
| Cable for AudioQuest Niagara 1200 I come from the camp of thinking that brand synergy is best. As an example, my 2-channel system preamp and power amp are of the same brand. For my theater components (processor and 7-channel amp, same brand) I use an AQ 1200 which is connected t... | |
