Review: Galibier Stelvio Turntable
Jazdoc a fine description of your thoughts and learned lessons along with a fine description of your music favorites. In my mind a heavy weight turntable is a must for true top to bottom vinyl reproduction. The difference in sound is like hearing ...

Hello Paul and Doug i was able to get my mylar etched and installed today and would like to say thank you for a very good upgrade. When you have such small tweaks like this that make large improvements its a wonderful thing. 
Leon Russell
Have been a fan of Leon since way back. Saw him most recently at the House of Blues New Orleans. Joe Cocker Mad Dogs and Englishmen is a all star line up including Leon. My favorite is self titled Leon Russell 
Music for Riding a Storm Out?
This is one the unfortunately came true for us. Pot Liquor Levee Blues. This lp is recorded very well, Louisiana group from the early 70s. 
So whats your favorite music themed movie?
Blues Brothers all star show band and review, on a mission from God. James Bond movie soundtracks love the sounds and productions of those lps. A fine group above all, there have been some very good sound tracks through the years.
