| Whats on your turntable tonight? @dayglow I really like what you have added to this thread. You are an awesome guy. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @spiritofradio Jethro Tull, A Passion Play, is one of my favorite Tull albums. It never really got the attention it deserved, IMO. A warm and smooth recording, not bright at all, but still plenty of detail. I have an original copy from when it... | |

| Millercarbon's Mega Vibration Control Journey I have always been supportive of room treatments. Even in my college dorm room I used carpet samples tacked to the walls and heavy cloth tacked into the corners of ceiling/wall. I have kept at that ever since, albeit with much nicer applications... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Yes indeed, that is the same Alpine car audio company. I worked as a sales rep for 5 years with a rep company that our biggest earning line was Alpine. From there I went to work directly for Alpine and climbed the corporate management ladder. I... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? I have about 25 classical albums that I need to clean and listen to. I need to get more, as well. I also need to pay attention to Brian's listings and take notes. I need to expand my collection.Nevertheless, over the past couple of days/evening... | |
| Warm romantic & detailed I had a similar issue with my old Mirage M3-Si speakers. I was considering a couple of the Focal speakers but again, a metal tweeter is not what I wanted. I really liked the Sonus Faber signature sound and came close to making that purchase. Ho... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @jbmac75 welcome to this thread. Easy doesn't mean best. Yes indeed, do get a turntable, again. And be sure to get a very good one and a very good phono cartridge. The sonic rewards are immense. You will quickly understand (or maybe remember... | |
| Pass Labs x250.8 vs tube amps I own a BAT VK-33SE preamp and VK-255SE power amp. My speakers are 88 Db efficiency. The amp drives them effortlessly, with plenty of safe headroom, and I find it to sound it's best after about 30 to 45 minutes. It gets quite warm by 30 minutes... | |
| Cartridge recommendations under $2500 Hana is a great value. I had the SL for 6 months and really can't fault it, especially for the price. I sold it and moved up to a Lyra Delos. It fits well into your budget while the Kleos is well beyond your budget. As another person stated ab... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? By the way, my copy of "It's A Beautiful Day" is also Columbia Records, Original Pressing. I remember that it is a stunning sound, but that was on a system of years ago. My present system is significantly more resolving. Let's see how this stan... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @j_damon Thanks for mentioning "It's A Beautiful Day". I have a perfect copy of that album and haven't listened to it in many years. I will do so tomorrow.Warmed up the tubes & electronics with disc one of Joe Bonamassa "Live From New York"... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @spiritofradio I have not listened to "For Everyman" in many years. I'll clean it and listen to it today. I'll let you know about it's SQ. I have to say, though, I have plenty of albums from that era, the early-to-mid 70s, that are excellent S... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Good idea on Jackson Browne. That's why I like to read this post every day. I find good choices to cue up. I'll play these later today.I have just two JB albums. "For Everyman" and "Hold Out". |
