ELP works vol. 2, best song: I Believe in Father Christmas 
Please Help Me!!
I would definitely go with tablejocky's suggestion! 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
And yet another favorite from the 70's because that's when the best music was made: Steve Miller's greatest hits 
What constitutes a room?
thanks nonoise, unfortunately the kitchen runs along a long wall, the l/r & d/r run along the other long wall so the speakers have to be along the 33' wall facing the other 33' wall which is 25' away. I suppose I could put the speakers on a 25... 
Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people.
Bummer, I'm considering a Pioneer RT 707 for my system. Really just for looks, I mean you can't beat the look? Gorgeous. Stunning, bla, bla, bla... But do I really want to spend $500 - $100 for something to 'pretty up' my rack? 
Help, is 15 watts p/c enough for a small room
Ok, done. Bought the $80 Pioneer sx-680, @ 30 wpc, thanks for talking me out of the 15 wpc options. Hooked up the 50 year old GE bookshelf speakers and the 'revived from storage' Onkyo cp-1020f turntable and surprise, I'm blown away by the full, r... 
Help, is 15 watts p/c enough for a small room
Wow thank you everyone! It's just for background music while I work or to test the condition of LP's. Not my main listening room. Main room is about 30 x 33 ,w/  Pioneer SX-980 & Klipsch Forte ii's, not looking for anything like that at all. M...

foghat, foghat & foghat (and savoy brown on the computer) Didn't know it but three Savoy Brown members became Foghat , thanks Wikipedia 
Your favourite Rush albums?
Signals, due to my two fav. rush songs, subdivisions & new world man. Both were significant predictions of the 80's to come, and well beyond.

I record I picked up yesterday at a vinyl garage sale. Neil Young & Crazy Horse. Everybody knows this is nowhere.. Love the guitar work on a couple songs especially 'Down by the river', love that song too. A tiny little noise at the start of s...

Older Neil Diamond stuff 
The music’s the thing but....
Yes I find that the case as well. I am starting to keep a notebook of all my vinyl albums. I jot down what is the best volume, EQ setting, speaker placement (forward, toe-in, toe-out), etc.. for me. It helps me enjoy the music a great deal more be... 
Pioneer RT-707, buy a clean unit or a rebuilt unit ?
Thanks dill, I found a super clean one on Craigslist for $540 in San Jose, might go look at it (+/- 100 mi.). It would eliminate the e-bay $50-$100 shipping cost and chance of shipping damage. Thanks again!! 
Anyone compare Klipsch Forte 3 vs new JBL L100?
I have had Forte ii's since 1990. They work well with most music, on the bright end, but super clear. I use a 20 band EQ, shortly upgrading to a 31 band to see if that helps the music that doesn't sound as good. After 28 years I'm making a list of...

I listen to my albums in alphabetical order, that way I don't miss anything, unless I get a new album. I just received Sonny Rollins LP so going with that tonight.
