| VPI, Graham, Koetsu advice please I've been using a Well Tempered table and arm since they first came out in the early 80's. How quick everyone is to just assume the VPI is better than the WT. If you can find it, locate Moncrieff's excellent analysis and review of the original WT ... | |

| Linda Ronstadt/Nelson Riddle Lewm ...Linda was indeed re-doing the old ballads as you said. I was brought up on this music. My Mom was a huge fan of the big bands of the 40's and I got indoctrinated. I have albums by Jo Stafford, Helen Merrill, June Christy Sinatra, Freddy Ma... |
