| Whats on your turntable tonight? I have the original 'Can't Buy A Thrill' ABCX-758 and it is good sounding but doesn't qualify as audiophile. ABC was sold to MCA (or something like that) and rumor has it that the Steely Dan albums were less sounding from that point forward. I c... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I too have a copy of Can't Buy A Thrill that I purchased in early 1973. I'm shocked that somehow it has a scratch on side 1, first song ('Do It Again'). Otherwise, in perfect condition. A long cleaning in the ultra sonic machine, hope for the ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @dayglow If you can get your hands on the reissue of Blow By Blow (Acoustic Sounds/QRP 45 RPM) it is well beyond the SQ 4.2 rating you gave to the standard issue. In fact, it's fantastic! I have both and if you are into Jeff Beck then I sugges... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? +1 for Avalon. Great choice MC. It's one of my favorites for ending a late night session. Just float into bed after Avalon. | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bkeskeBrian, I have that album and my copy is also rather poor SQ. For me, it sounded better on a lesser system in years past. My system today is such a high resolution that I hear the poor SQ that much more so. Either way, it's a wonderful al... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? R.E.M. 'Murmur' I'm glad this group was mentioned a couple of days ago. I forgot I had this album. Good vinyl, very good SQ, and quite a good album of music, too.Phoebe Snow 'Second Childhood' What a great album. Really good SQ.Paul Simon '... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601 Jim, so sorry to hear of your incident. Very wise to use a helmet. They are lifesavers, for sure. A helmet saved my life about 7 years ago, too. I hope that your pain is short lived and you get back to full health, quickly.You'll be... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I found an REM album that my wife bought new in 1983 -- 'Murmur'I don't believe it has ever been played. I'll clean it and check it out.That's part of what's fun in this thread, getting ideas for music.There is so much you guys list that I am unf... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? I saw Arlo Guthrie in, I think it was 1971. He was the opening act. Next up was Linda Ronstadt (before she became uber-famous). Next up was Dave Mason. What a great concert!My wife has to go to bed early tonight. No music for me. To be conti... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Yes indeed, that is just what I found when adding two of the MyMat. Bass lines were easier to follow and I also discovered some little nuances of musical information that I had not heard before (on a number of albums). Really great! Then I got ... | |
| VINYL SUCKS! He's a moron...I love music and I love all of the mediums for playing it. I prefer my vinyl rig and enjoy it immensely. To each his own, but to denigrate a major source (vinyl) is just moronic. "So there, I'll say it"... he's a moron. | |
