Billy Cobham / Total Eclipse Kinda noisy but still great  
Axpona
@woots  IIRC the Chicagoland dealers present in 2019 were Saturday Audio, Holm, Music Direct, Quintessence.  They had a variety of stuff on display.  Just took a look at the 2022 exhibitor list and it looks like the same are there this year.  The... 
Axpona
Two years ago was my first Axpona (first audio show ever actually).  Was lucky enough to go early on the first day so it wasn't that crowded.  I had a great time.  Was able to check out so many new products.  Really couldn't believe how many compa... 
Looks like PS Audio has a hit on their hands with the new speaker
Heard their first (?) iteration at the last Axpona and thought they sounded pretty darn good.  The usual caveats about show sound apply.  Watched the two setup videos and the second one sounded great with my headphones on.  Again, the usual caveat...

@spiritofradio  Thanks for the info.  I have heard Caravan before, I will investigate again.  The first Hatfield has been on regular rotation lately.  Great album, could use just a little more guitar IMO, but still great.  I have been buying up a...

@bslon  Nope, just Mirage right now.  Would buy more if I could find them.  Might try discogs.  I've been on a big prog kick lately.  It makes sense to me to enjoy it on vinyl for that back in the day feel.

slaw, just picked up nice quality Mirage - great album.  Treble somewhat tipped up but still a good listen.  On the hunt for other Camel on vinyl but not easy to find.  Which do you have?

Camel / Mirage Steven Wilson remaster of Tull / This Was.  I have to say I'm very happy with all of the Wilson remasters I've purchased.    
Replace inner sleeves on used records?
+1 terry9 I am dumping the plain paper sleeves but keeping anything that has printing, etc. like big_greg.  
Feel free to talk me off the ledge
You are not nuts, just seduced by the irresistible song of the speaker sirens.  Tie yourself to the mast and enjoy your Heresy.  Or treat yourself!
