turntable choice
I started with a Project Debut 3 ( last model made before the Debut Carbon ) when I got back into vinyl about 7 months ago and really liked it. Great for the price and comes with a good cartridge. I have since upgraded to a MOFI Ultradeck +M which... 
Should I keep the Turntable or sell it?
I agree, there are many good turntables out there. It's a tough decision. 
Electro Harmonix 6922 pre-amp tubes
I'm sorry. 6922s, but I just started using 2 EH 12AU7A tubes in my CAT and the 12AU7s are the ones I was Talking about in the post above. The 6922s have been in for a while and sound fine. That's what happens when someone is talking to me when I'm... 
Electro Harmonix 6922 pre-amp tubes

What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard?
I had a Bedini 25/25 about 25 years ago and I agree it was the best. A friend of mine was doing renovations for a lady in Manhattan and she threw it out with her garbage. My friend saw it and asked if she was really throwing it out and asked her i...

Upgrading power cords is a big difference in sound quality. A friend of mine bought a Pangea pc, after I explained the difference a good pc will make, and he is thrilled with it, especially for the price.

Lee Ritenour Stolen Moments. Six String Theory is good too, but different styles of music and many different musicians. If you like guitar this is very good.

Take up drums at age 56?
I watched a few videos about the fulcrum and holding the sticks properly just now, and some were good, but they did not explain that the three fingers ( your middle finger to your pinky ) are not supposed to be snug on the stick. They are supposed...

I forgot one thing. of course the first thing you have to learn is how to hold the sticks properly using the fulcrum. You can look it up online.
