You guys got me thinking about that Albert King album.  I don't see a reissue from Vinyl Me Please but I do see a NM/M- copy on a Stax reissue.  Thanks for the good idea. 
For auld lang syne, ..high-end companies you really liked that are gone....
SAE (Scientific Audio Electronics).I sold that brand when working at Pacific Stereo, here in California.  It was the coolest looking product in the industry, at the time.  We also sold a ton of Phase Linear.  A lot of bang for the buck with Phase ...

Been listening to my hi-fi, of course.  Just not listing the LPs here for a while.  Yesterday was a few nice ones.Joni Mitchel, 'Blue'  Reprise Records reissue.  Nicely done!The Beach Boys, 'Surf's Up'  Analog Productions and QRP pressing.  Excell... 
For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question.
For current, new product I have found the new model VK-80i integrated amplifier from BAT to be exquisite.  A nice blend of traditional tube look combined with modern day design elegance.  And the BAT products are stunning sonic performers as well....

Merry Christmas, everyone.  Be safe and be healthy.The discussion about 10 days ago on Pink Floyd, 'The Division Bell' got me going.  I ordered it right away and it just arrived.  I'll clean it and enjoy in a listening session later today.  Lookin... 
Your shipping wrecks. USPS,FED-EX and UPS
USPS is awesome!  I am glad that some of my tax dollars go to supporting that institution.  At this time of year, and especially along with COVID, I expect shipping delays.  A little planning for that and everything is good.  I have received/sent ...

Well, I went back to Discogs and searched for Joe Cocker, "With a Little Help From My Friends.  I found a NM/M- Speakers Corner copy that I bought for $35 plus shipping.  Much better than what I had seen at $400.Thanks for the recommendation.

@spiritofradio  Yes, I do buy some quality NM/M- from Discogs.  Last I checked I couldn't find any of that level of quality.  I'll check again.  I was just hoping to find a new reissue, from Speakers Corner.  I much prefer new LPs verses used ones...

@slaw  I have been trying to find Joe Cocker 'With a Little Help From My Friends' for over a year.  All I can find is NM/M- used for $400.  I have searched for a Speakers Corner release and can not find it.  Any suggestion would be greatly appreci... 
Tube Amp soundstage
IMO, Pass has done it right with their SS amps.  As well, Balanced Audio Technology has done it right with their SS amps.  I chose BAT SS amp, a BAT tube preamp, and a Manley tube phono stage and am perfectly pleased with them and that combination...

You guys have some music in your collections that I have never heard of.  That's the beauty of this thread, new music to discover from verified people who know what they are talking about.  I'll be looking to get some more of these new (for me) di... 
An audio rack that really does make a difference.
I had Salamander and it worked well for a time.  Advancing to the Symposium Foundation Rack Ultra was light years beyond.  The Symposium product is built with audio function in mind, not just a support system for components.  Constrained layers wo... 
An audio rack that really does make a difference.
Symposium Acoustics is an outstanding product line.  I have been using their Rollerblock Jr+ devices along with the Segue ISO for my turntable and it made a significant and very positive difference in SQ, particularly for mid-bass, bass, and overa...
