@seanchau: Yup, Michael (45 RPM Audiophile) is a fave of mine as well. He's a hardcore audiophile with a very nice Einstein system (from front to back). His LP focus is primarily on new audiophile reissue pressings, and he has reviewed LP's from Mofi, Analogue Productions, Electric Recording Co., Speakers Corner, Intervention, Classic Records (long out of business), Blue Note, all the major reissue labels. All the Neil Young 180g reissues as well.
But also new releases from small labels like Acony (Gillian Welch and David Rawlings), anything featuring audiophile-grade sound quality. It was from Michael that I learned of the unique plastic outer sleeves offered by Vinyl Storage Solutions. Michael is a very likeable, charming guy.
@slaw: The one thing Mazzy does that disturbs me is "pinching" between his thumb and first finger the outer edge of an LP when he pulls it from the inner sleeve (to show the vinyl or record label). Isn't that the first thing we learn not to do when we become an audiophile?! But Mazzy is more a music lover than an audiophile, which is fine with me.
His musical taste intersects with mine only somewhat, he liking the San Francisco bands he grew up around far more than I. But he loves Ry Cooder, The Kinks, and The Byrds at least as much as much as do I, so I forgive him. ;-) It's fun when he mentions shows he attended that I was also at, like The Who at The Fillmore Auditorium in 1969, wherein they performed the entire Tommy album.
