| thoughts on the bose 501 speakers "No highs, no lows, must be Bose"As an audio retail sales person and store manager back in the late 70s, that was how we would describe them. We sold them, people wanted them, but not by any of us in the industry. | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Ringo Star 'S/T' Had to play this again before refiling it. Yes 'The Yes Album' Friday Music 45 rpm reissue. There are some very minute details that I never really heard on my original copy. Best I have ever been able to follow the bass line... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? I hope that @tomic601 is scoring well with his fishing. After recovering from such a terrible cycling accident he certainly deserves it. Go get 'em Jim!I'll begin fishing in late July through end of September. Hopefully the bluefin tuna will be... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw and @spiritofradio Thank you for the replies. I have been wanting to get that album and didn't know it was made in UD1S. I have been looking for a new copy/reissue and they are consistently on backorder. UD1S cited by Steve got my atten... | |
