| 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... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw Indeed, Cafe' Blue is on my list for tonight. That album and on the 1-Step production, is sure to tell it all.@gmercer the Zeppelin album at MSG brings this to mind for me. I forget the name of the album, but it's a 3 disc set, live alb... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I was able to take home the tube amp I have been interested in (BAT VK-76SE) and connected it yesterday. Could only play a couple of albums due to relatives company coming over (with small children). My speakers are borderline capable of being d... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? I forgot to mention this. When listening to The Cars, 'Panorama' (and yes I agree, it is an underappreciated album) I found the bass guitar riffs were so easily discernable. I was able to follow the fret work and string plucks better than in the... | |

| When did you most enjoy the music? Music is first and foremost the driving factor. It's emotional, for sure. Also very important to me is quality playback product. As a child a countertop radio with bass & treble control was exciting compared to the lesser sounding clock rad... |
