| Whats on your turntable tonight? Loggins & Messina / 'Full Sail'I have a "Super Disc" copy done by Direct-Disc Labs who, when in business, were located in Nashville. Though they did make actual direct-to-disc recordings those were rather few. They did, however, get licensed... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw,I also have a 1973 Track copy of Quadrophenia (by the way, I saw the North American tour of Quadrophenia at the Fabulous Forum in Inglewood, CA. in 1974). It's in VG++ condition and sounds good. However, last year I secured a "new" copy of... | |

| Just received my new Dynaudio Contour 60i in walnut Thank you for your prompt reply. The wine analogy makes perfect sense, and I can surely relate. My units on order are in black-gloss but I will assume that for the first US delivery all finishes will have arrived at the same time. If so then mi... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? After reading yesterday about Alan Parsons, 'Tales of Mystery' I pulled out my copy (original, in perfect condition) and played it. What a great album, it really pulls you in. So, tonight I will play my superior grade copy of 'I Robot'. I have ... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? I pulled out my Dave Mason 'Alone Together' album a few weeks ago. It's an awesome album! True story... When I first bought that album was shortly after seeing Dave Mason in concert. I bought two copies because it was wonderful music and it was... | |

| Margin on speaker sales by high end dealer Upscale Audio carries many brands. They are the US Distributor for Prima Luna and maybe one other, that I am not certain of. The majority of the brands they carry are the same as with any other quality audio retailer. I have known the owner for... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Procol Harum; A Salty DogI keep digging into the "Deep Tracks" of my vinyl collection and coming up with some wonderful music that I have not listened to in some years. Thanks to this thread I am enjoying plenty of good music that may have stil... | |
