| Whats on your turntable tonight? It's been a while since I've contributed to this thread, but vinyl is spinning in our listening room once again so it's time to share what we're listening to, hopefully with a comment or two as the mood dictates. Listening tonight has been an ecle... | |
| How Do You Organize Your Music? Music goes on the shelves here organized into one of five major categories: Classical, Blues, Celtic, Jazz and Pop/Rock. Within each category LPs are sorted alphabetically (by composer for classical, by artist for jazz, folk, rock, blues, pop). Cl... | |
| Any new record cleaning products? The Walker Audio Prelude continues to be the best cleaning system I've used. I've given away my remaining Disc Doctor cleaning concentrate that I used for many years. From all reports, the new Audio Intelligent formulation should be in the same ba... | |
| Review: Transrotor Apollon Turntable It's really great for you and your wife to be able to enjoy this together.As for the Io, I decided it was time to replace the original tubes after so many years of use. With Albert and others consistently saying how the tubes can "make or break" t... | |

| Mercury Living Presence Russ, it's been good to see you weighing in with comments on the recordings! Another series of recordings that are well worth seeking out for a very direct and natural reproduction of an orchestra (provided you care for the music) are the Harmonia... | |
| Where are King Super Analogue LP's pressed? I was told by Elusive Disc that the U.S. made King Super Analogue LPs were pressed at RTI. Quite a few years ago new production for the U.S. market shifted to being pressed in the U.S.. | |
| Mercury Living Presence Mercury has been one of the prized classical music recording labels since it's first monoraural release in the early '50s. Here are two articles that will give you a lot of the background about this label:http://www.soundfountain.com/amb/mercury.h... | |

| Looking for assistant to Aesthetix IO Sig Ykauyeung, I have exactly the same Aesthetix Io set up that you have: dual power supplies and volume controls. Since you are sure the issue does not arise playing CD through the AUX input, then I agree you have isolated it to the phono stage. Here... | |
| Speaker's Corner.....Best of the Best ? I suspect Thomasheisig was commenting more about the clarity and transparency of the mastering on some of the Speakers Corner Decca reissues (which was somewhat variable), not the pressing quality (which was consistently very high). . | |
| Speaker's Corner.....Best of the Best ? Thomasheisig, you have presented a nice selection of the better classical reissues from Classic Records. I would add:Adam, GiselleRozsa, Violin Concerto/HeifitzElgar, Enigma Vatiations/MonteuxMussorgsky, Pictures at an Exhibition/ReinerSibelius, S... | |
| Speaker's Corner.....Best of the Best ? Of the Classic Records reissues, I find most of the 33rpm RCA releases hard and bright sounding (in their own right and not by comparison to what an original sounds like). They have great clarity, dynamics and frequency extension, but many will pe... | |
| Speaker's Corner.....Best of the Best ? Larry (Cello), are you interested in any particular genre of music when you ask about the Speakers Corner reissues?For classical, the Decca reissues are a little hit or miss. They are of overall of good quality, but a lot of them are not "outstand... | |
