| Whats on your turntable tonight? I'm very fortunate to have all of The Police albums having bought them as each came to market, back in the day. All are in perfect condition. My guess is this box set probably does sound better, but what I have sounds quite good. In particular, ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @big_greg Man, am I jealous of that Japan pressing of Led Zeppelin II. I tried a reissue of Houses of the Holy and it sucked. My original copy is much better, much more pleasant and analogue sounding, but has too much surface/vinyl noise. Mayb... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @big_greg which album are you referring to? | |
| Recommendation for new cables There is a lot of good product on the market, and a lot of not-so-good product as well. How does one choose?The recommendations here can lead you to becoming dizzy. Nobody means harm, it's just that there are so many choices.If it's a one-brand ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I have an early pressing of Gaucho and it is EXCELLENT SQ!The news about our Capital is so sad and disheartening. I think that my blood pressure went up a bit today. I had to play some softer and relaxing music.Tim Weisberg, "Dreamspeaker"Grover... | |

| Preamp choices:Short list I'll offer that my BAT VK-33SE is outstanding. Of all my gear over past years never have I had a better staging and imaging than with the VK-33SE. As for the two BAT preamps you cited, the VK-42SE is by far the superior over the VK-23. BAT is e... | |
| Does Age Matter? My wife doesn't care at all about my hi-fi. She shows zero attention to any new component. She likes music a lot but is totally satisfied with her OEM car audio system and a small Sony sound bar when in the bathroom. 98% of the time that I am l... | |
| Does Age Matter? Age is 66. I have always been vinyl, first and foremost. I use very little CD in my home but do rely on it for music in the car. I have had very big car audio systems for the past 35 years and the SQ from CD has been great. SXM or any streamin... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Steppenwolf, 'Monster'. That was a good suggestion. I checked my file and found that I do have that. Early pressing, in perfect condition. Not sure why I haven't played it in many, many years. I saw Steppenwolf in 1970 at an outdoor festival.... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @geof3 Yes indeed, those albums are mastered exceptionally well. I especially think that of Avalon. Sit in the sweet spot, plenty of SPL, and just fall into the music. It takes you on a trip...I too have first presses of Avalon and Boys and Gi... | |
| For auld lang syne, ..high-end companies you really liked that are gone.... @adweller I don't recall Allison speakers at Pacific Stereo. However, I know they were really great speakers. That dome midrange driver was excellent. We also sold a ton of Infinity but they are still alive so I didn't mention them above. The... |
