Whats on your turntable tonight?

e, you're right, I would love them. I have the Bax on Lyrita. I'm always impressed with how good the MHS issues are. The Victory at Sea is simply great fun, isn't it?

Rushton:
The first time I heard the ship's horn I laughed out loud!

I love Lyritas. As you know I am a true Anglophile.I could kick myself for not buying more of them back when they were easy to get.Try to pick up the Bliss if you can,you will surely love it.

Playing with my DIY SUT transformers.They have truly changed my system.wow!

e, my three favorite labels are Decca, Harmonia Mundi and Lyrita. With most of their recordings, these three labels capture exceptionally natural and realistic renderings of acoustic performances.

A common denominator for Lyrita and Decca is Kenneth Wilkinson, a recording engineer whom I greatly admire when allowed to follow his own aesthetic values, as is most consistently reflected the work he did for Lyrita. What an incredible legacy.

Rushton, once again I agree with you 100%, and I would add Hyperion and Proprius to my favorites. For the combination of high quality recordings and performances it is hard to beat the London/Decca/Argo label. The K.Wilkinson pressings of course are most revered. You know to look for a "G" at the end of the stamper number? G= Kenneth Wilkinson.

Just got a EMI/Angel 45rpm of Respighi "Pines of Rome".This may be the best Angel I have heard. Incredible dynamics and very fine playing of a exciting piece.Complete with birds chirping!
The new DIY SUT is really working!
