Great to be back. Finally obtained a new front end rig. Currently breaking in a new cartridge. This recent setup did not get in the way of a new record I recieved today. Thorens 125th Anniversary 3 record set. First of all let me say the packaging of this set is phenomenal. A beautiful tri fold cover that when fully open reveals excellent color photographs of Blue Heaven Studios and the birthplace & photograph of Hermann Thorens. This evening I played only one side which contains all blues selections. The recorded quality of the music and selection of songs were top notch. For me listening to this one side made me forget about audio and just revel in the music. Looking forward to hearing the other sides over the next couple of days. I want to savor this delectable treat. Highly recommended.
