Whats on your turntable tonight?
My parents had agreed to let me go out of town to Greensboro to see Led Zep about 2 months before Bonzo died. I was 17. Of course that show never happened. Hate that I missed that opportunity.

Once I get my built in cabinets done I may purchase a basic U-Turn TT. I still have a few albums I like to listen to. It might not be any better than the Sony but the Sony is starting to make a mechanical hum and the dust cover is broken.I'll cont...

@reubent I have not seen that video. Will look it up.Also, Desolation Boulevard was the second album I ever bought after BTO's Not Fragile. I think The Sweet is a somewhat overlooked band. Ever since then (junior high maybe?) I've been a bit of a ...

Is there a better DAC than the Schiit Bifrost for $300?
