Whats on your turntable tonight?

testing the new wires. Just built a newer tonearm cable using mil-spec silver solid 30gauge wire.Also rewired the SUT with the same wire. The system just took a huge leap upwards in quality.Wire was given to me by Mike Morrow of Morrow Audio.

Zaikesman, always nice to see a little more classical music listed, especially something as nice as Britten's Symphony for Cello and Orchestra!!

Today was an afternoon of music with friends in the local Richmond audio group. Vinyl lovers gathered and the focus was music, not gear! We ran the gamut from Monk & Coltrane Live at Carnegie Hall to Mendelsshon's Symphony No. 3 (Maag/LSO), to Suzanne Vega, to Louis Armstrong, to The Doors, to Monteverdi's "Vespro della Beata Vergine" with Gardiner. A great afternoon.
