Favorite Miles Davis release
KOB - released in 1959, the best selling jazz LP of all time.  And for a good reason. 
So just how much vinyl do YOU own?
+/- 7,000.  Been collecting since 1962.  The collection is mostly jazz and classical with some rock and other stuff.  I've curtailed my buying quite a bit the last few years and have started giving some of my dupes away.  Soon I'll start selling t... 
Jimi Hendrix UHQR Mono & Stereo is shipping
Mine showed up on Monday (one each of the stereo/mono versions).I got a "shipment notification" from Acoustic Sounds and checked my Amex account to confirm the items had been billed.  Nada.  Then, on Tuesday I received a "Request for Money" from A... 
Louis Chochos from Omega Speaker Systems
Glad to hear the plaudits for Louis.  I've been living with a pair (the *first* production pair, according to Louis) of Hemptones I bought in 2005.  They still sing wonderfully in my "secondary" system which, truth to tell, has evolved into my pri... 
Pop-up spam is making this site unusable.

Hot CD Stamper?
Why not (?) ask Tom Port?

I use an ad blocker on my laptop and iPad. Very effective.  I would guess this software is also available for iPhone (?).   
Direct 2 Disc
I own the Sheffield Labs Harry James d2d LPs, and they are excellent.  My favorite d2d record, however, is American Gramaphone's Glenn Miller Orchestra LP from mid to late 1970's.  Outstanding in every respect.  If you enjoy the Big Band sound, tr... 
Why do members hijack threads?
Sometimes it's not a highjack but an evolution of the conversation.  The thread below started out on the topic of CD's making a comeback (or not) and along the way folks started discussing cassettes:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/cd-s-to-m... 
Sophia Pfister's Birdcage
Heartfelt/trite at times, I agree.  The production quality, however, is uniformly excellent.
