APO Doors Reissues
Yup. I prefer the original die-cut/cellophane window copy I have. The 45RPM is a bit sterile and clinical sounding, lacking in emotion and life. I also find the bass to be somewhat bloated. The original has better spectral balance top to bottom an... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Last night I took the new 45RPM version of LA Woman out for a spin. Nope. I'd pass on this one if you own a nice original with the die-cut/cellophane cover. The original has the music in spades, whereas the 45 leaves something behind - it's rather...

New Music Recommendations 2012
Alt-J: An Awesome Wave (LP...UK import). It's been stuck on my turntable for a couple of months now.

I've replaced several of these. Any national electronics supply house has them - DigiKey, Mouser, Newark, etc. There's nothing special about them, just your standard lighted power switch that costs around $4. Try this link: http://www.mouser.com/P... 
Moving across country with over 1000 LP's
Be sure NOT to use Home Depot small moving boxes which look perfect: 12x12x16. They are exactly 12x12, and LPs don't fit. Go to a moving company (like United or U-Haul) and get theirs, which are 12 3/4 x 12 3/4. That three-quarters of an inch make...

Alt-J 'An Awesome Wave' (LP). Trippy, funky, harmonious. From the UK . 
How many with analog rigs only?
I'm strictly all vinyl. I've got a couple hundred CDs that I need to dispose of to make room for more records.
