Are you on or off? What say you?
As Ken Kesey said, "You're either on the bus or you're off the bus...."  
Holiday Habits and Pleasures
Happy Holidays to all, but no holiday-themed music around my place. Unless the holiday is Halloween....

Tilt-a-Whirl for me....   
A blowing session????
@stuartk - and I'm not even a jazz fan! I like those records because they don't sound like what I think of as 'jazz'; they're more like Grateful Dead space jams. The only other 'jazz' album I have is the newly released Rhino hi-fi version of Herbi...

I'm a big fan of Miles' work in the late 60's and early 70's; just ordered the Vinyl Me Please box set of Electric Miles Davis, which has his albums from 'In a Silent Way' to 'Get Up With It'....   
She loves me she loves me not!
@czarivey - are Kevlar the white-looking cones? I like those too; my Marten speakers have those, and they don't even make a grille for them....

Steely Dan UHQR
@goodlistening64 - That's why I buy my new vinyl, if I can get the title I want through them, from Amazon. Returns are never a problem; I had to return my 'Who's Next' box set because there was so much surface noise on one side; I had a new one fr... 
Invert ?
I've got Herron Audio line stage preamp and phono preamp. He's got polarity rocker switches on the backs of both; he recommends trying them each way but says a lot of people can't hear any difference, and I could not. He's also got an 'Invert' on... 
Steely Dan UHQR
@goodlistening64 - + 1; I am very happy with my UHQR of 'Aja', and I've already ordered some in the Atlantic Records 75th Anniversary series (and those are $60). What turntable Fremer uses doesn't bother me; it might make the UHQR sound better, bu...
