Whats on your turntable tonight?

Boulez conducts Berlioz - Symphony Fantastique. The London Symphony Orchestra. Columbia Masterworks 1971

And thank you @grey9hound. This isn’t the Reference, but the new model introduced late last year. Jim thought he got very very close to the Reference for a fraction of the cost.

you should get this if you have not already

@grey9hound good to hear about your explorations in analogue space. In my (limited) experience, ProJect makes good stuff but get a bad rap sometimes because they also make it inexpensively. Will be interested to learn about your final choices.
BTW, I have “On The Road To Freedom” too. For me it’s from a certain musical vein acquired during high school. Will now dig it out of the basement archives since you’re got me thinking about it.

@bkeske Congratulations Brian.  Nice!  That should give you a lot of flexibility.  Will you save on shipping cost by picking it up directly from the factory?

@mammouthguy54,

I'm having an issue with the Brandi Carlile lp I played yesterday. I bought it new years ago and it has an in and out swoosh sound when played. In my experience this happens because of noisy vinyl not a pressing issue. Usually, this issue can't be repaired. I put it through a slow steam and a long US clean, so we'll see if that helps.
