Whats on your turntable tonight?

To Bring You My Love is arguably her best work and, in my opinion, the most fun to listen to in terms of sonics. Agree with you, don’t know how they were able to make all that overmodulation sound so clean, almost natural. Just proves it can done.

I also bought Illusions On A Double Dimple when it came out. Got a cheap promo DJ copy. Remember it sounding really good, comparable to my ELP stuff... A Hot Stamper, maybe? It’s buried in the archives somewhere, I’ll try to find it.

Probably damaged because, like you, I was using my first system. Handed down to me by my sister. One of those General Electric suitcase systems with detachable speakers. Thought it sounded great at the time but I had to replace the cheap stylus every 2 months or so. Vinyl killer.

@middlemass  That is so funny, I had one of those suitcase systems, too.  But I was younger, about 9 years old.  My first system, at age 19, was a Marantz 2270 receiver, Philips 212 turntable with a Stanton 681EE cartridge, and a pair of Altec speakers.  My Triumvirat album, and all those purchased from 1973 and forward, have only been played on something that would not kill the vinyl.  During high school, however, my parents Magnavox console was a vinyl killer.  I have had to replace those albums from my high school years, rightfully so. 

Amazing. I was going to edit my post because it looked like I was implying that your first system was as cheap as mine. That's a great system you put together at 19!

Mammothguy,
Nice starter system for sure! Mine at age 19 wasn't as good but I loved it. It was all "Scott". 40 watt integrated amp / Tuner / Turntable / 3 way speakers. I was using an Ortofon 30 concorde cartridge.
