Whats on your turntable tonight?

Foghat "Stone Blue"

No idea how my copy made it through my younger days so good.? What a great R&R lp!

Hey @petermj,

I know early Genesis was considered "art rock". After playing "Trick of the Tail" yesterday, I'd say that lp is prog.

@slaw  the JVC QL-Y66F is an 80's vintage fully automatic direct drive turntable.  It has a really nice looking rosewood base with a large 14" platter.  When I got it, I couldn't turn it up very loud or it would start to hum from airborne vibrations.  The plinth is hollow and not well braced.  I stuffed a few pounds of plastic-clay in it and put some vibrapods beneath the cheap fiberboard on the bottom of the plinth to keep it from vibrating and now it sounds really good.  It came with springy feet and I replaced those with some heavy aluminum feet and have it on a Symposium Ultra platform.  I have springy floors and the feet eliminated footfall issues I was having.

It comes with two arms - a straight arm and an s-shaped arm.  I'm using the straight arm and haven't tried the S arm yet.  The Kiseki blue seems a good match.  I ran it through the Hifi New test record torture tracks and it did very well.  

It's not a high end table by any means, but with the minor tweaks I've made it's a really fun turntable to own and sounds great.  It has some cool features like a dial to set VTF, anti-skate, and damping and buttons to move the tonearm left or right.  Things come and go in my system, but I think this will stay for a while.

Here's some info on the table.

@big_greg,

I like your description of the JVC better than the vinyl engine.

Sounds really cool! Based upon the TT you're selling, I assumed the JVC is superior.
