Tom Waits And Crystal Gayle‎ - One From The Heart (CBS 1982)Love this album. One of my reference sound check albums. Played it scores of times. It still sounds (almost) new. A classic. The phono amp component upgrade I did is paying dividends.

@howardalex Thank you. I had a Radford ST50 long time ago with MO KT88s. Sweet and powerful with 3D imaging. But the big caps dried out and I let it go. My modified EICOs stun me every day with their control, detail, color and lifelike sound on th...

@topoxforddoc  Thanks for the Iink. I met KK around 1987 at a show in London. We "argued" as to why he seemed to prefer bassy sound with dull treble compared to my preference for clean, clear, teansparent, and detailed sound. I wasn't impressed.
