The Miyajima Mono cartridge has breathed new life into my jazz mono recordings. This evenings fare:

Cookin' The Miles Davis Quintet. My second issue blue label prestige outplays the Analog Productions reissue. 50's jazz at its best.

June Christy, Something Cool. Life like vocals. Listen to her sing the title track Something Cool and I Should Care. A nice Ella counterpart. Capitol records reissue by Cisco.

Louis Armstrong plays W.C. Handy. Both joyful and uplifting even after listening to the worlds woes from the Jim Lehrer news hour. Louis sings and plays his heart out. Highly recommended.

Sarah Vaughan, Emarcy records, Speakers Corner reissue. Up front stunning recording. All star lineup with Clifford Brown, Herbie Mann, Roy Haynes and others. Listening to Sarah sing Lullaby in Birdland and April in Paris will steal your heart.

This renaissance in jazz and classical vinyl is an uncommon pleasure of life.
Berlioz "Requiem" - Shaw/AtlantaSO, Telarc (I prefer the Davis/LSO on Philips, but one learns from different approaches)

Last night:
Berlioz "Les Troyens" - Davis/ROHO-CoventGarden on Philips (great music making)
.
45s, because my DD TT starts spinning incredibly fast (and continues accelerating - it's really quite scary) when I push 'Start' on 33. Aaaaaargh!!!

So it's been a bit o' Miles, a bit o' Bill Evans, and my only George Benson record, which is a 45. Once I forget about the indignity of the machine trying to create tornado vortices in my living room using a small spiral vinyl groove, they sound quite nice.
T_bone, which DD table is accelerating? I looked at the lineup in your system thread and you have quite a collection.
