Whats on your turntable tonight?

 @bkeske  Thanks for the lowdown on the nitty-gritty! I like the way you used loading as an indication of refinement. The less loading you can get away with, the better. 

Brahms Violin Concerto    
Issac Stern • Eugene Ormandy • The Philadelphia Orchestra    
1972 Columbia Reissue 

I strongly advise anyone who has the opportunity to attend Goran's concerts - this is probably the most fun show ... the energy is amazing - everyone is dancing (there are some recordings on YouTube)
... a glass of red wine would be very welcome
