| Whats on your turntable tonight? @reubent I'll check into that album, searching first on Discogs for a NM/M- copy. I do enjoy that genre of music. All along I had thought that my copy of Jeff Beck "Truth" was the original I had in high-school. Believing that as the case I had... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Joe Cocker "With a Little Help From My Friends" I just got a very clean NM condition copy through Discogs. Brings back great memories.Albert King "Blues For Elvis" Spiritofradio mentioned that about 10 days ago and got me thinking I should add ... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? I'm very fortunate to have all of The Police albums having bought them as each came to market, back in the day. All are in perfect condition. My guess is this box set probably does sound better, but what I have sounds quite good. In particular, ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @big_greg Man, am I jealous of that Japan pressing of Led Zeppelin II. I tried a reissue of Houses of the Holy and it sucked. My original copy is much better, much more pleasant and analogue sounding, but has too much surface/vinyl noise. Mayb... | |

| Preamp choices:Short list I'll offer that my BAT VK-33SE is outstanding. Of all my gear over past years never have I had a better staging and imaging than with the VK-33SE. As for the two BAT preamps you cited, the VK-42SE is by far the superior over the VK-23. BAT is e... | |
| Does Age Matter? My wife doesn't care at all about my hi-fi. She shows zero attention to any new component. She likes music a lot but is totally satisfied with her OEM car audio system and a small Sony sound bar when in the bathroom. 98% of the time that I am l... | |
| Does Age Matter? Age is 66. I have always been vinyl, first and foremost. I use very little CD in my home but do rely on it for music in the car. I have had very big car audio systems for the past 35 years and the SQ from CD has been great. SXM or any streamin... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Steppenwolf, 'Monster'. That was a good suggestion. I checked my file and found that I do have that. Early pressing, in perfect condition. Not sure why I haven't played it in many, many years. I saw Steppenwolf in 1970 at an outdoor festival.... | |
