| Any More Hotels with Turntables? Hmm...I guess I would go to one of these places to play "vinyl" and just stay home to play records. Oh brother....more millennial marketing.Wonder if you can request a mono press,while calling room service for a steak dinner? | |

| Are You Experienced? Just like the Beatles mono presses, I didn’t "need" them, but really MUST HAVE this!I guess I can reason, I don't have a British press? | |

| Beatles on PBS! I saw the premiere last year. Thought it was great. Now I've caught it a few times on rotation, while channel surfing. Even better, since i've been able to catch details I missed the first time around.The picture quality of some scenes is amazin... | |
| SoCal FM radio casualty bdp24-Yeah, by 80's the Foothill was just a shell of what it was. I think I saw Screaming Jay Hawkins and the Blasters there.I enjoy reading about your past R&R exploits. Did you ever play at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach? | |

| SoCal FM radio casualty oregonpapa-the station was located on top of Signal Hill, a small incorporated area in the middle of Long Beach. I ride my bike up that hill regularly. The area is now over priced homes, and a plaque reminding people what used to be there. Down... | |
| Focal Kanta No.2 speakers - any thoughts? Also in comparison with Sonus Faber Olympica 3s? rsure-any room short of a "listening room" is always a compromise,especially in a living space.We have significant others we answer to,and other "real" factors.I use the Cardas placement, with great results.http://www.cardas.com/room_setup_calcula... | |

Also in comparison with Sonus Faber Olympica 3s? rsure-This looks like a deal worth checking out.https://www.audiogon.com/listings/full-range-focal-sopra-n2-2017-11-20-speakerBased on value- maybe a better deal than the SF's you're considering. Technically, a step above the Kanta, subjectively ... |
