God doesn't need to know what time it is.
Great story isochronism. It raises an important question... Just who would I pick, If I could choose any of the greats for a one on one? "Wristwatches were made so one would not need to to reach into their pocket for the time. Now it has come f...

"I had a Blackface deluxe and a blackface vibrolux at the same time and enjoyed them both. Eventually I got frustrated with the finnicky nature of vintage amps but they sounded wonderful" stuartk- Yeah, they're noisy idling, the pots eventually ... 
Mono Recommendations
All of Ella Fitzgerald's   work  on Verve  up to mid 1960 is a must listen if you like Diva's. IMO the mono press is the way to listen to these. Many of them are what I prefer-Ella and simple quartet or small ensemble. Not the schmaltzy orchestra ...

"A watch is a distraction for working fools... 😁😊" mahgister- I think there is some truth to that! I look forward to not being concerned with "being on time."

"The Deluxe Reverb (blackface, of course ;-), my favorite amp. "    bddp24-Yes, I don't have the "real deal" but  a1994 2nd year reissue(circuit board but ALL tube) Not a Fullerton Ca. "original. 22 watts of power able to keep up with most any he...

Bdp24- Now and then I wonder  just how ridiculous my spending would be if I were in that league-01%? Sure would love to wrap my hands around a few classics normally unobtanium to mere mortals. The drum kit you have certainly is of more "value" t... 
System bottleneck?
Listen to more new(to you) music, learn to appreciate it and stay off audio forums.  You may be coming down with audio neurosis.  
Best double studio vinyl?
All nominees are winners. Chicago Transit Authority is a bass demo  LP . The  percussion breaks in  "Beginnings" and "I'm a Man" will also show off a good system. D&D Layla wins for awful sound quality. Thankfully, the music makes up for it.... 
Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord?
raysmtb1- Having a nice setup and Tektons WITHOUT fancy cables,conditioner and fuses doesn’t sit well on an audio forum. The OP’S questions will never be answered from either side. T.A.S.-oookkaaay  
The early years vinyl. Definitely not PC!
100% domestic  cotton!   
Records Everywhere - Help!
it's only been 20 years the OP has been suffering  from LP overstock. Good thing the last 2 posters came to the rescue.

The OP meant ESL. "D" is right next the "S" on the keyboard. It's an entry level model. dbrw-try the Martin Logan owners forum. https://www.martinloganowners.com/  
Tweaks, money pit or real value?
ghdprentice/steakster- If I count the Schwinn Sting Ray days+40 years of performance cycling/racing, I have over well over  half a century of saddle time. Audio as a hobby is like finding the perfect  saddle height/riding position- IMPOSSIBLE, b... 
Why is most everything remastered?
voodolounge- My eyesight, along with coffee not kicking in made me realize it was Zeppelin 2! Here's what we all want https://www.discogs.com/release/1960140-Led-Zeppelin-Led-Zeppelin-II    
Why is most everything remastered?
The "Big Fake" failed to convince me back in the 80's when it all started. For us original LP nut jobs, the only reason to buy a reissue is because a period press is unobtanium due of price. "the reason why my Zeppelin II Ludwig mastered vinyl s...
