Great Recordings, Sonically Speaking - and Why.
The Eagles Unplugged 1994 (The Second Night) Vol 1 is an excellent recording (vinyl)., I prefer this to Hell Freezes Over as it has the Don Henley singing Heart of the Matter which the vinyl/cd version doesn't have (video has it) as well as an awe... 
BEWARE OF FRAUD with this member
I would press Paypal. I think you have a decent case - they shouldn’t be so quick to refund the money especially since you have proof of mailing the item.   
Zu Audio Modded Denon 103's
Zu does modify the Denon 103 and brands their name them for a premium (~ 367% in this case). Well I guess that clears them of any maintenance type issues that one may encounter. While that seems to be okay with most people, I (along with @billwojo...

Well if he can do it - why can't Zu? It's their cartridge.

Yes - I agree there are many better choices for ~ $1k cartridges.  For half the price, there are also great retipping options for the 103.   
John Hiatt and The Jerry Douglas Band hit the road!
Bummer - not coming to LA county. Looks like a couple shows in Orange County and San Digeo though. Been a John Hiatt since my days in Chi'Town.

@chakster -  I think you misunderstood my post.  The fact that it was epoxy filled, it could not be fixed.  If the wires on a regular cartridge get damaged internally, it can be fixed - at least that's what I was told. Usually a broken cantilever/...

Thanks @solypsa.  Good to know.  I'll have to keep Ana Mighty Sound in mind next time I'm in the market for one.  I've also had great results retipping 103's - like I said lotsa options out there that offer better flexibility. 
Money Well spent
Bad idea on borrowing from the cable company. Don’t do it. You will get ripped off and end up buying a cable at full retail you never wanted. Nobody in their right mind needs to test cables.

Record Store Day 2021, Drop #1 Today!
When I got to the store (about two hours late), The Who Face Dances (Abbey Road Mastering) was the only thing that caught my interest. It would've been nice to get a copy of The Replacements - Pleased to Meet Me, but it was all gone. Nonetheless, ... 
WHAT IS THE MOST TOUCHY SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD?
See Me Feel Me - The Who 
Which Phono Pre?
If you've got a low impedance cartridge like the Koetsu RSP, I'd opt for the LCR type phonostage like the Allnic 7000 HV.  I'm currently using an ARC Ref 2SE phonostage and although perfectly happy with the performance, my next phonostage will be ... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
