So sorry to hear of Leon Russells passing, going to pull my MadDogs and Englishman album, my Freddie King albums that he contributed to and my Leon Russell albums and just get right tonight. Thank you for it all Leon, you will be missed. 
Interconnect cables for turntable

Sanity test before you start this hobby
Amen old-school your preaching to the choir. 
Are there headphones that image in front of you rather than in your head?
I have, in the last 6 months, returned to purchasing and setting up a headphone based system to listen to when circumstances dictate it over my main system and have really been thrilled with the results leading to headphone listening about 25% of ...
