Whats on your turntable tonight?

montepilot,
Looking forward to you joining the fray. It's always nice to have another vinyl enthusiast along. I’m driving Coincident Total Eclipses (with tubes) and employ Israel Blume’s IC’s and TRS speaker cables with great success. No less than two hundred hours of break in were needed though. Ouch!

Rushton,
That was my only regret in visiting your splendid hometown to see a Paul Cézanne exhibit in 1996. I spotted, but then didn't have time to see the Rodin Museum and do it justice.
Hey, I haven't heard comment from you on the result of the amp stands the two of you were auditioning some weeks back. Did they prove out, are they keepers?
Happy Listening!

Hi Foster, the Walker Audio amps stands are indeed keepers! Inserting Valid Points under the butcher block in lieu of the sorbothane improved the already good results yet another material degree. Lloyd had offered the sorbothane as a lower cost option, but Ann insisted that we should listen to the full component stand as Lloyd intended it to be. She was right, it was better. I never cease to be amazed at how EVERYTHING makes a difference and how much the details matter.

Rushton, Thanks for the record finder tips.

R f Sales: I'm discovering the painful break-in process myself. No getting to the promised land without going through the wilderness!

Enjoying 14" of fluffy white snow today with a fire in the woodstove and, on the turntable, we have:

Richard Strauss "Eine Alpensinfonie" von Karajan/Berliner (Deutsche Grammophon DG 2532 015)
Dire Straits "Love Over Gold" (Warner 23728-1)
Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense" (Sire 25186-1)

Not sure what's up next though. Olympic coverage on the tube may coax me out of the listening room.
