"Transferred from original analogue master tapes"
@onhwy61 Thanks for sharing that link. Very cool. For something more extended but similar, have you seen the Muscle Shoals film? It's really good. @millercarbon Good point! Maybe that VMP TSOP box set would be worth the high price after all. That...

Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music?
@philsons I have heard the Nines ( narrow & deep shape vs. O series) which are great in a med. sized room and the Gibbons which smaller still and really disappear. They also have a new model that I saw featured in a video which is a baby versi...

@noromance  Low I used hang with a girl who was big into them. Good times. With perky lyrics like "Bury myself...Don't Understand", how can you go wrong!  
Van Den Hul what is the best cart ?
@mijostyn What's your problem...today? Don't imply I'm recommending those arms or anything else.  Maybe if you helped the guy with a question figure out what's going on with what he's got instead of pushing your fav stuff, it might be a nice chan...

"Transferred from original analogue master tapes"
@artemus_5 Thanks. FYI, I read those Amazon reviews. The one detailed review mentions near the end that he's listening to the CDs... One label that produces some great sounding funky LPs is Daptone. Start with Daptone Gold comp. or some Sharon Jo... 
Phono stage shoot out: best mid priced unit?
Anybody ever compare any of these to the Nagra BPS? I've been wondering if I decided to sell mine and upgrade what would be worthwhile without spending a fortune. Cheers, Spencer

The Boss is the Bo$$
My OG "The Wild, The Innocent" beats anything later, even "Darkness".  @tomic601 The bass on "Racing in the Streets" sounds better during downshifts. I saw Bruce live on every tour from Darkness thru Tunnel of Love and then lost interest. A late... 
Ceiling fan in listening room?
@rbanathy This works surprisingly well in my room. On a side table near listening seat, at lower speeds it's dead quiet and for cost & easy returns, it's worth a try. It's basically a knockoff of the Dyson that sells for ~triple the price. Bl...

Harbeth again…or other speakers for acoustic music?
Devore Fidelity is another speaker brand that sounds like it meets what you're after. While designed and tested to work well with both SS & tube amps, SET are a good match. John Devore does some excellent youtube videos sharing great insights ...
