Whats on your turntable tonight?

Art Pepper: Alpha Omega and John Prine: In Spite of Ourselves. 

John Coltrane Blue Train 

Been out of the loop a while.  My NAD 7020 was acting up, and rather than getting it serviced (again) I thought I would retire it and get something new.  My, how the market has changed!  All I wanted was an integrated amp with a rec out, and there are so few in my budget.  I tested a Marantz PM6006 and just did not like the sound.   Finally purchased a refurbed Cambridge Audio Topaz SR 20 from the company web site for $425.  It is working very well with my Linn Axis turntable and ELAC Debut 6.2 speakers.  Tested them out with:

Blind Faith “Blind Faith”
SFX “6/11/87”
The Holy Light “I’ve Had It Hard”
George Harrison “George Harrison”

A copy of Some Girls on orange vinyl. It has the original sleeve with all the celebrity photos. Sounds great! 

Camel - “I can see your house from here”

Volto - “Incitare”

Harmony Rockets - “Lachesis - Clotho - Atropos”

Jonny Greenwood - “There will be blood” soundtrack

Khruangbin - “Con todo el mundo”

Mono - “No Where Now Here”

And now I’ll probably fall asleep to a new 180g German pressing of

Keith Jarrett
Charlie Haden - “Last Dance”
