| Whats on your turntable tonight? Van Morrison - A Sense Of Wonder (Mercury 1984) | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Van Morrison – Beautiful Vision (Mercury 1982)Cleaning Windows is one of my reference tracks. | |
| Has anyone else auditioned something that really was terrible? Another was a tube Concordant phono preamp. Bright and glaring like the sun. Dreadful. | |
| Has anyone else auditioned something that really was terrible? Went for a demo and they played their best system. CD with some sand amps and those weird Gallo speakers. They thought it was awesome. The music had the oddest single purple-grey color. I asked how much and they proudly told me in that smugness re... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601 Nice. I think it was Steve that turned me on to WW. Speaking of which, @slaw is MIA. | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Cochise - S/T (United Artists 1970)The artwork on the cover sold me when I bought this off BJ Cole in the 80s. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Suzanne Vega - Solitude Standing (A&M 1987 UK)Remember she was huge? Luka? And so young? And fresh sounding. I bought this when it came out. Now she's 61. Damn. | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Pentangle – Open The Door (Spindrift 1985)One of their best. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Wooden Wand – Clipper Ship (Three Lobed Recordings 2017) | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Wooden Wand - Death Seat (Young God Records 2010)Love it. Buy this record. | |
| Question about Tone Controls + Equalizers @stereo5 Fair enough. McIntosh is the logical upgrade path for folks who’ve had receivers with lots of buttons and tone controls but can't let them go. | |
