How about Mae West with Somebody's Chyldren-"Way out West"Several Esquivel! albums.....Zip,bop, schoop,boing!!!!Esquivel! albums are perfect for audio geek speaker testing.

| vpi classic "I don’t think most people on Audiogon are ever "done". sokogear-you may be right. But "done" could mean "for awhile"oleschool-are you gonna throw down on the BAT/ART9 combo?That’s a "done" combo until you’re ready to replace everything else! | |
| Now Hear This "As for the gear, the turntable is a Basis table, not Clearaudio."larryi- The scene were a switch is engaged, I figured it was a vacuum pump. It's interesting that most pianist ARE NOT improvisational as the guest was. A true mark of a magician-s... | |
| Beware Audiocadabra Cables: High Return Shipping and Won't Get Full Refund! Must have been the not 100% , but 101% pure copper cable used? WOW!That, or the black corset? | |
| Could Audiogon create some FAQ pages in each Forum Category? Idea.....use the internet? | |
| ASI Liveline Reference IC The electrons were confused going against the arrows on your cable(if there is any)If you heard a difference, then there is. Never a difference myself. I've read that manufacturers put arrows on their cables "because consumers expect them" | |
| vpi classic I would be all over this if I were in shopping mode. Easily a last purchase. If you ever get the urge, it can be upgraded to play with "the best"https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisa2hd3-balanced-audio-technology-vk-p6se-tube-phono-stage-mc-bat... | |

| vpi classic oleschool-Your phonostage appears to be up to the task. When you get the itch to hear "what's next", a phono stage higher up the food chain can make a dramatic difference.I'm in the tube camp. The popular models start somewhere in the $2-3K range.... | |
| Turntable Upgrade question.. You're in a terrible spot.Endless recommendations for "the best" for your budget. Whatever it is, play the hell out of it.If the itch still persists, upgrade EVERYTHING until the wife threatens divorce. | |
| vpi classic "I didn’t even miss my Koetsu"Interesting testimony from a Koetsu owner. I'm actually on my second ART 9. The cantilever magically "disappeared" after 3 years with the first one.The ART 9 certainly isn't a "downgrade" comparing to the $2K+ Kiseki... | |
| vpi classic latik-I would seriously consider the older ART 7 over all of them if the phonostage has 65db's of gain. More refined than the ART 9. ART9 being more of a value proposition over the Kiseki.https://www.lpgear.com/product/ARART7.htmlI own the Kiseki ... | |
| How do you know what you're missing? End of the day, it's simply what sounds good to you.Stay off forums, and enjoy your music. Audiophoolery is just another hobby. | |
| Thousands of tubes for sale At least 1/3 of the lot, likely useless for audio gear. That 1/3 then becomes even smaller once you sort the duds out.Not such a "bargain" now. | |
| vpi classic I have the same VPI Classic. Been using the Audio Technica ART9 for many years. For $300 dollars less, you can still buy the original version.https://www.lpgear.com/product/ATART9.html$300 more, you get a threaded body and hair splitting differenc... |
