What do you have on order RIGHT NOW.

I've been buck wild since inheriting all those LP's

1. Ordered a new pair of bookshelf speakers (fit shelf, no ports) Wharfedale Diamond 225

for updated garage system, however, I will first compare them to the B&W DM100i's in my office where they get help from a self-powered sub.

2. for my very heavy speakers: ordered new wheels, soft rubber,

I move them, adjust toe-in for wider center when friend(s) are over, push back into corners when space needed ...

after reading this.

Originally I used hard wheels, thinking, all that weight, on only 3 wheels, hard wheels, only the surface area touching the floor = more weight/less area, hard surface like a spike.

The whole theory above is soft isolation. I found real rubber, softest I could find, why not try?

3. I ordered a vintage CD/SACD player for main 2 channel system, Oppo BDP-83 SE
Special Edition, upgraded for audio.

will compare to existing Sony carousel which surprisingly matched my prior Onkyo DX-7500. Loser goes to garage system to compare to Sony single player I just inherited.

4. Melissa Etheridge's debut album, LP, used DMM

https://www.ebay.com/itm/MELISSA-ETHERIDGE-melissa-etheridge-ISLAND-12-LP-33-RPM/313399191450

I blasted that album with a room full of people the day before I married Donna 31 years ago!. Dave Letterman said at the time "everybody else should get out of the business".

5. Tube preamp is still in transit from Russia since March 1.

Elliot,

Thanks for the post. I just ordered the Melissa Etheridge S/T LP when I saw it in your post. Wow, the one you bought was a great price, especially if it grades-out and it's a first/early pressing. Mine was about 50% more expensive, listed as NM and also listed as a "first pressing". Still a good price, if it grades-out and is indeed a first pressing.

Enjoy!

I've got a Herron Audio Phono Stage and a Herron Audio Preamp on order, and UPS should be bringing them to me TODAY!! 

Oppo arrived here, took 3 whole days!

hook up tomorrow.

larsman, You got just about the last VTPH2A that will ever be made. Keith told me last week he is down to parts for the last two. He won’t be ordering parts to build more, said the price increase would be "astronomical". You have to know how understated Keith is to get the full meaning of this. Anyway, helluva fine rig, you are gonna gape in wonder when you hear it. Yes right out of the box. Then it only gets better. So congratulations! Enjoy!
