@noromance Yeah! That's one of my favorite songs ever. I think it's one of the greatest recorded performances ever. I know many will disagree. I've played it for friends that definitely didn't.
@grey9hound The QL-66YF was JVCs top of the line DD in the 80's. It's a gorgeous fully automatic table and in excellent condition. I did end up keeping it. The buyer was understanding and very cool about it. In its stock state, it was kind of a crappy turntable. It has a very large and insubstantial hollow plinth and picked up airborne vibrations like nobody's business. A few pounds of plastic-clay stuffed inside the plinth and some better feet took care of that. I can play it as loud as my VPI Classic 2 or my Technics SL1200 MK2 with no issues. I currently have a Denon DL-301 MK2 cartridge on it, but have used it with my much better Kiseki Blue NS and it was a nice pairing.
@jafant I really like that album, not just for the sonics, but Rod was at the top of his game in terms of songwriting and performing.
