| Whats on your turntable tonight? Montepilot,Not yet. I was at Lloyd Walker's last Sunday (he hosted our local audio group for an afternoon of listening on his personal setup). I saw the table, it is close to completion and I could be seeing it as soon as this weekend, or possibly... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Montepilot,If I could jump in on your question to Rushton, re: "a good tool for capturing voices as they move about the stage" I have found Holst's "Savitri, A Chamber Opera In One Act" perfect for judging soundstaging and where both male and fema... | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century With my Chenin, the tube rolling has been pretty limited. I tried swapping out the stock 6922's with Amperex NOS only to be disappointed with the results. I was very pleased however, with replacing the stock 6SN7's with NOS RCA Grey Glass 6SN7. Ov... | |
| Who sells high quality audiophile CD’s? Kana813,Kavi Alexander says "We are of the opinion..." He does not say they refuse to market CD's and SACDs. Until the last few years or so, WLA was a vinyl only record label. Mr. Alexander markets what sells, in order to provide income.He doesn't... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Montepilot,I worked for Northeastern University from 1979-1986, while living in Wayland, MA. At that time of course, their entire catalogue was in vinyl. If you find yourself near Huntington Ave, I would even suggest you contact the Music Departme... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Montepilot,I read of your interest in the Klimo Open Window Edition of the all harpsichord music. I tend to agree with you that LP's like this can be an acquired taste. But, if you are so inclined, I would like to recommend another that I have fou... | |
| Have U ever bought an LP because of the cover art? The late Phil Hartman was a graphic designer prior to becoming a comedian and actor. He designed or was involved in the design of a lot of 1970's album covers. Most notably the Poco albums. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? "Dances Anciennes de Hongrie & Transylvanie" and Dances Du Moyen-Age" are two recordings that spend a great deal of time on my turntable. (Rushton introduced these to me - and I have his duplicate copies)In addition, more music in this vein th... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I too am sorry to hear that Elusive disc is listing it as OS. I must have gotten one of the last copies. Mine arrived within 3 days of placing the order. "Il Cornetto" is indeed a very delicate recording. I really allows you to hear texture and to... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Good one! I stared at his name on "Rough Mix, "Who By Numbers" looked over Led Zep but missed his name. I was gonna say Clapton cuz of the Delaney & Bonnie ref and Clapton played a lot of the lead parts on "Rough Mix".That was fun. Maybe we sh... |
