Oooops, you are right. Missed that. Sorry! 
Classical Record Labels and Recording Engineers...
Apologies if this is a repeat.1. What happened to Erato? Some amazing sounding LPs especially the Messiaen recordings.2. Tony Faulkner. Don't have the original but check out the MHS reissue of Songs From the Fayrfax Manuscript. Sensational and he ... 
Matching Koetsu Stone Body Platinum Cartridge
Might be late but here are my comments on the Azule Platinum. http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue77/koetsu_azule.htm 
Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of

Classic Records vs. Analogue Productions
I hate to say it but the debate is moot. Whatever your opinion, and I too have all the originals, there wouldn't be all the turntables there are today without the efforts of Hobson, Chad, Joe and Ron and a few others. They kept analog alive. BTW, ...

What DD tables have you played with DEV?
