| Whats on your turntable tonight? Bobby Dukoff And His Orchestra – Sweet Swingin’ Sax In Stereo (RCA Camden 1959)This is insane. Great recording. Great sax, piano and crystal clear drumkit and some vibes. Then accompanying the music is a a ’dooo di doooo de doo’ female vocals by... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Bobby Dukoff - Swingy Saxy Sound (Stereoddities 1959?)This guy engineered a bunch of sax mouthpieces. He died aged 93 in 2012 and his company still sells them. Very mellow sax with some funky Hammond B3 type organ. | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Acetone sounds like a blend of Low, The Pixies and early Black Sabbath! | |

| 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. | |
