Under Appreciated Jazz Piano Players
Ahmad Jamal (already listed)Duke Ellington (ditto)Keith Jarrett - I don't think I saw his name yet...I would also give a nod to Bruce Hornsby as some of his solo performances are very much in the jazz vein, and he handles himself admirably. 
Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1?

Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1?
OK Nsgarch - I'll bite: What is a Tondose? The Virus cart's underside is a bilious green color, just as the MD Blue's is blue. So- I guess it's "virus green" Kind of like the van den Hul "Frog"....

Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1?
Gregadd-Sorry to hear that. Mine was the classic catch the cuff of your shirt on it while adjusting the belt. I watched it in slow motion as it tore off, tumbled through the air and dropped down onto the platter. I'm going to keep it in a little g... 
Best of Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan
Excellent choices above to represent these great women. I'll just add my favorite Ella Fitzgerald recording: "Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie". Great renditions of "Good Morning Heartache" and "Night In Tunisia". 
What song turns back the clock?
"Baba O'Reilly" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" from "Who's Next" College - girl I had a crush on - her favorite album. Wound up marrying her...."Pleasant Valley Sunday" by The Monkees. Thought the Monkees were the coolest, hippest thing around then....

Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use?
A 12 or 15 year old Music Hall CD32. I use it as I expect my digital playback to sound like digital - I'm not disappointed...
