| 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 ... | |
| Just received my new Dynaudio Contour 60i in walnut jrbirdman333, I have a set of the Contour 60i on order. I see the date on this thread that you just got yours yesterday.

| 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... | |

| High Performance Audio - The End? My system is most certainly revealing, call it high-resolution if you will. There is a ton of music I own that is certainly not the best quality in recording and/or production (mixing, mastering, plating, pressing, vinyl quality). However, I rea... | |
| Accuphase E-470 I regret the day I sold my stack of Accuphase components to my nephew. I have had several really great systems and my Accuphase stack was probably the best (until my newest and latest BAT system). Accuphase has a wonderful sonic signature and th... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? uberwaltz+1 on John Mayall, 'Turning Point' I just got a copy of that in NM/M- condition because the one I had (since high-school) was unplayable. Awesome music, all without a drummer. I saw John Mayall twice. The first time was in Anaheim, CA... | |
