Show Us Your Listening Room Art

Whats on your turntable tonight?
@slaw I've got digital version of Watson Twins' Fire Songs; it's just okay and very melancholy  Friday Finds are my Saturday spins:

Half Speed Mastering
I beg to differ. I've been underwhelmed by a number of half speed mastered recordings. Joe Harley from Music Matters and the Blue Note Tone Poet series commented on the challenges of half speed mastering in a recent video interview...I think with ... 
Ortofon Cadenza with VPI Scout
