| Whats on your turntable tonight? Leo Kottke 'Burnt Lips' This one is not quite as good in SQ as the S/T album, but still is a great listen. And for $2.99 it was a steal.Grover Washington Jr. 'Inside Moves' This is the last of the 3 albums of Grover that I have. It is a grea... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tgilb I bought that Spirit album when it first was released, I believe 1971. Last year I bought a reissue from Music On Vinyl, on white vinyl, limited edition. My copy is #132 and it's really very good SQ and very quiet vinyl. If your copy is... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? I have that album, "It's A Beautiful Day". I bought it new in 1973 and is in perfect condition. One of the best Hippie period albums I own. It sounds really good when played really loud. I just did that a few weeks ago. Lots of fun...Mentions... | |
| Upscale Audio and Primaluna I forgot to mention, above, about my Prima Luna experience. I was very interested in a new PL Evo 400 amp. Kevin told me that he didn't think it was a good match for my very inefficient speakers. Hmm, even though I was interested in PL Kevin ad... | |
| Upscale Audio and Primaluna Thus far the OP has not yet stated what products he currently owns nor did he say whom he spoke with at Upscale though bashing them for being rude and pushy. Yet, there are plenty of convictions stated above that it must be Kevin. Full stop...I ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw Shunyata makes a good number of power conditioner units. Which one is it that you have been using? I recently got an Audioquest Niagara 3000 so I am not about to change any time soon. But I am interested and very curious on what the diff... | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" My two cents on the matter, for what it's worth.I have Balanced Audio Technology (BAT) preamp and power amp. The preamp is tube gear, as all of the BAT preamps are, and the amp is one of their SS models. My phono stage is also a tube design (Man... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @6t5-gto I just got my first of the Verve 45Rrpm AP reissues, Getz/Gilberto. As noted above, it's fantastic! The music is wonderful and the production quality is superb. I do want to get a few more of these issues. However, I am not familiar ... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Dave Mason 'Alone Together' pp pressing, this is an original swirled vinyl pressing. I have had it a very long time. And it is in perfect condition. I saw Dave Mason perform about 6 months after this album was released. First up was Arlo Gut... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Joni Mitchell 'Blue' (again). Most definitely this album on the tube amp, on Saturday night, sounded much better than on my solid state amp today. A very good comparison.T. Rex S/T, their first album. In perfect condition, the SQ is good bu... |
