| Whats on your turntable tonight? Robert Wyatt – The End Of An Ear (CBS 1970) | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Peter Gabriel – S/T (Charisma 1980) Bought it back in the 80s. A little noisier than I’d like from a lot of play. Sounds better than ever since the springs coup. | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Camel – Mirage (Deram 1974)NM. Sounds great. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Frank Zappa – Zappa In New York (Discreet 1977)One of my favorites. Super recording. (Uncensored version. Because censorship of music is pathetic.) | |

| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Put it this way: My knife-edge sounds better than my Well Tempered clone. |
