| Best pressing of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto? I'm also partial to the Heifezt version. The Acoustic Sounds reissue is superb:http://store.acousticsounds.com/d/91416/Fritz_Reiner-Tchaikovsky_Violin_Concerto_Heifetz_violin-200_... | |
| Mose Allison One of my favorite Mose songs reminds me of a ditzy co-worker I once knew. The words may not be exactly as he wrote them, but the best lines went something like:If silence was golden you couldn't raise a dimeBecause your mind's on vacationAnd you... | |
| Removing microfibre strip adhesive from a record? This may be anathema to some, but - as a last resort - I've used Goo Gone to good effect on a couple of records plagued with stubborn adhesive residue that didn't respond to more conventional treatments. After the Goo Gone did its thing, I rinse... | |
| Favorite Internet Radio Stations If you like jazz, give these two a try: KKJZ (Long Beach CA) and WDCB (Chicago area). | |
| Harbeth dealer near Nashville, TN Gene Rubin's website: http://shop.generubinaudio.comHe's in Ventura, California. I bought a (hardly) used Rega P9 from him about 3 years ago. Great deal and great service. | |

| Cartridge "shoot-out" : Koetsu Jade v SPU v FR7 v London Reference. Glad that you discovered the merits of the music. Now you might look into finding the Guarneri versions of the Early and Middle SQs. Probably my favorite interpretations. | |
| Audio Desk Systeme RCM - what's been your experience? All this makes me glad I own a Loricraft PRC-4 - - - 10 years of ownership and no problems. | |
| Soundtracks that you listen all the way through and it's all great. Showing my age, I guess: American Graffiti | |
| Who's absorbing the cost? In my experience, Acoustic Sounds has been wonderful about exchanging defective vinyl. I buy a lot from them, and on the rare occasion that I have a problem, they have been courteous and prompt in rectifying things. | |
| Lawyer Who Sued Led Zeppelin Suspended Don't you love it when that happens? | |
| Best Ways to Organize a Classical Record LP Collection ? I have a collection of about 3,000 classical LPs. They are generally ordered chronologically by when composed. Hence, medieval, renaissance, baroque, classical, etc. Bach before Haydn before Mozart before Beethoven, etc. Vocal and opera recordin... | |
| Does dry-brushing really do anything... I've used Audioquest carbon fiber brushes for many years - - before and after playing each side of an LP. I've never had a problem, and my records - - many of which are several decades old - - sound great. | |
| For all you Dean Martin fans I agree with the OP 100%. I bought this APO title many months ago, and it is fabulous. A male vocal favorite. | |
| Best Drum Solos Second wlutke's recommendation of Sing, Sing Sing.You'll want the 1938 version recorded at Carnegie Hall. I think the drummer was Gene Krupa. Excellent performance (if dated sound) all the way around. |
