| Whats on your turntable tonight? You're a good group of guys. James (tomic601) is only about 1 1/2 hour drive for me and he invited me over to take a listen and have a few sips. I'll be sure to take him up on that fairly soon.FYI, I have an original copy of Revolver that is in ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bkeske I am envious of your Beatles collection. I wish that I still had my original copies of Meet The Beatles, Beatles 65, etc. They became thrashed as I was too young to understand how to take care of them. I have replaced many with reissues... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I understand your feelings about the owner. But heck, the vinyl production is superb. I don't know the guy and likely never will. Maybe for the better? Either way, Analogue Productions and QRP make outstanding vinyl and I do my best to purchas... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Slaw, I played the first two, both in mono. The first album is OK for SQ but not what I was hoping for. The music, however, is wonderful as it always has been. I will certainly be playing it many more times. The second album, "Again", is excel... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? You guys made me think to look for Leonard Cohen in my collection. I thought that I have one, and I do. Haven't played it in years so I'll play it this weekend. "Songs From A Room" Original pressing, Columbia, perfect condition.This is the alb... | |
| Power Conditioners I added a Niagara 1200 last year and experienced an immediate improvement in SQ. Blacker background to music, individual instruments were more distinct, the slightest nuances of music became much more defined. I'm now changing my system layout b... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bkeske try the 25th Anniversary Edition release of Graceland. The SQ is incredible, way over the top. Sit in the sweet spot and your jaw will be on the floor. Mine was the first time I played it a few months ago. Awesome addition to my collec... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Got to hang up the system for the night so I can plastic cover everything in the electronics room. I am having a dedicated 20 amp line pulled into the electronics room tomorrow. That and a new Audioquest Niagara 3000 ought to help my system sing... | |
| Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store I do business with a class-act dealer in La Verne, about a 15 minute drive from the dealer in question in this thread. Honestly, I didn't realize this guys business even existed. Just for the heck of it I'll have to stop by his store and get a f... | |
| I bought another Class D amp and didn't get what I paid for! Karma, it will last you a lifetime!Not in a product purchase, but another good story. At the age of around 12, I found a wallet in the park down the street from my house. It had in it a drivers license, a Social Security card, some other "stuff"... | |
| When to Poweroff amps and preamps We all have our views and opinions, including technicians and engineers. Depending on the design of the product on/off can play a role for one and a different role for another. I have tube gear for phono stage and preamp, SS for power amp. Ever... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bkeske,The Nightfly is one of my go-to "now check out how my system sounds" albums. I also have the same issue as you, WB 1982. Original owner, perfect condition. Great music, fantastic SQ. You have a great new cartridge, please do enjoy your... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Uberwaltz,Yes indeed, I saw The Tubes 3 times and I have all of their records, still in perfect condition. In my college days, living in the dorms, we had Tubes Night parties in my room. Back then I had a Marantz 2270 receiver, a Philips 212 tur... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @uberwaltz , great story about Alice Cooper. They really got you on that one. Oh, I do remember the guillotine, and also dragging around the Cold Ethyl manican on stage, the dentist drill, the rolling-out bed for Only Women Bleed. Etc... What g... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Steve Winwood, that's a good one, especially way back with the Spencer Davis Group. I saw Traffic perform in the earlier days, 1971. Wonderful concert. I also saw Alice Cooper 3 times. The reason I bring up Alice is because I am about to put o... |
