Most underrated female recording artists..
Aimee Mann - Lost in Space and Mental Illness. Vinyl of these releases is very good.  
Zu Dirty Weekend 6 went on sale today
Sorry I was not clear in my comment. My “posted here” meant posted on Agon, not embedded within the comment. If purchased, the Unions would be used with with the Audio Mirror mono blocks. My cartridge is now the SS Paua. Look forward to your Union... 
Zu Dirty Weekend 6 went on sale today
@lak  please do post a follow up on the Union 6 Supreme. I am interested in them, thinking they would be a good match with my room and electronics (posted here) Thank you in advance for your time!    
The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them
Gave up my subs to TAS and Stereophile a few years back. Too much BS. The Mofi mess? Could care less. Fermer and all the so-called experts? Could care less what they say/think. They don’t have my ears, budget, room, or taste, so it’s irrelevant to... 
Please recommend speakers for 45 watt SET amps
I have these amps also and they, like Vlad, are wonderful. They drive my Eggleston  Works Fontaine Signatures. I listen to lots of rock, jazz, acoustic, and vocalists. Not super efficient speakers, but an easy load and these amps play way above 45... 
Anyone heard new Zu Union 6?
I am also interested in your thoughts on these speakers. I tried Spatial Audio speakers and they were OK, but I did not like them as much as my EgglestonWorks Fontaines, so I sold them. The Spatials were the only high-eficiency speakers I have eve... 
New VPI purchase
The setup video is on New Record Day (Ron?). It is very helpful.  
Your thoughts on selling
I think it is a bad idea and inviting more work for yourself. These days even a local record store will cull through and pick what they can resell. That is what happened to me at 3 different stores. I am 67 been collecting since I was 15. Rock and... 
Need advice for a replacement phono cartridge
Try a Sound-Smith cart. I have had 3 ss carts paired with 2 different VPI tables the last several years. 2 of those carts were re-built by Peter L. (I was told by Peter Green at SS that Peter does all SS rebuilds, hence the long wait time). A coup... 
Can you vote on this song, 1 being brilliant, 5 being crap
4. Does nothing for me emotionally, or as a soundtrack or classical piece. The repeating theme is, well...not very interesting.   
I have a feel good story....
I had a similar experience with Manley. I had a couple questions about a Chinook I bought used. I sent the questions in to Manley via the question form on the website. This was a couple days before Christmas a few years ago. Within 24 hours I got ... 
Best Stereo Upgrade Value
Preamp. Compared a 6SN7 based line stage to my 12AU7  based line stage. Put my 12AU7 based unit up for sale the next day. For me, it was all about synergy between components and the 6SN7 unit brought the system to that next level. Plus I learned t... 
Acoustic Guitar on Vinyl
@seikosha I love Jose Neto’s playing on the Flora Purim lps and have looked for his solo work. Thank you for posting!  
Acoustic Guitar on Vinyl
Mickey Baker “Blues and Jazz Guitar”. Mostly acoustic and he is joined by Stefan Grossman who produced the lp. Excellent. Acoustic Alchemy for jazz-pop genre but excellent recording and strong melodies. Leo Kottke of course. Jorma. Larry Coryell m... 
Speakers known for great midrange.
I had a pair of older Spendor 2/3s that were wonderful for the midrange with tubes. Contrary to what folks say I thought they rocked well with rock music as well. Not to mention the great deal I got on them with stands included. I think buying use...
