Whats on your turntable tonight?

@slaw ha, maybe so. I need to find someone local with an US machine and see if I need to justify the cost of investing in one of my own. If I had thousands and thousands of LPs I could see it pretty easily, but I am in the hundreds, not thousands and that makes the cost justification a bit tougher. 

Right now I am playing Jackson Browne  - Running on Empty  - love the record but this copy/pressing sounds gawd awful and could probably use a much better cleaning 

@6t5-gto,

I don’t know if you read through the thread I referred you to.....

What I’ve ended up with probably cost me $700.00. and it outperforms my Audio Desk. I’d call that a F...ing bargain!
……………..

I love Jackson Browne. I have a 12" 45rpm of that song. Sounds great! Having said that, while all of the JB lps I own sound very good, if you can find The Pretender" on MFSL. that is one great sounding record!

@slaw schitt, $700 I can do, I think the only thread I found referred to your Auto Desk, and I struggle justifying a $4000 investment. But I am interested in that $700 setup. I better go back and look for the thread again. 

@6t5-gto,

I need to introduce you to the great Glen Hansard.

I'm going to put on one of his projects next... The Frames "Fitzcarraldo", Wow! Check that out!

@reubent and @slaw, one era of the Manfred Mann history that is little known is that of the Chapter Three years. They made two albums for Vertigo UK, one in ’69 the other in ’70. I have the debut, and love it. Only Manfred Mann himself and drummer Mike Hugg (moving onto vocals and piano) remain from the original line-up, and the music is a relatively accessible example of Fusion, but more Rock than Jazz. And in good sound, no surprise with a Vertigo LP.
