Thanks for the heads up regarding Lyra, I’ll keep that in mind (feel free to forward that dealer list to me). I’ve clocked about 250 hours currently on mine so I’ve still got a way to go.

Nice little TT/record rack! Care to share where it’s from?

Tried to capture Lee Morgan’s swagger. Was not successful.

Ouch! I had a good visit with stereo unlimited when the fam was in San Diego a couple years back. Was able to snag some quality vinyl, sorry your TT purchase was ok. While by all accounts my technics should run maintenance free for quite a while, I’m not looking forward to the day that eventually my Lyra Delos will have to be looked at as well!

Nice little turntable platform

Three blind mice jazz!

Damn and I thought my Pangea rack was enough. I need to step up my wooden base turntable game.

Holy smokes it appears as if we are actually talking about gear and doing sound comparisons and showing off our vinyl rigs. I like this version of 2010

Fancy! I have the settle for the green reissue from RSD. Jealous! From newvelle records - Andy Zimmerman “half light”, beautiful thing I can’t quite describe, essentially a jazz/classics thing but really defies genre.

You said budget LOL. This is headcase and Jim doesn’t follow budgets. Yup. I mean you’ve already got a killer setup id imagine on the digital side, so I’m assuming the TT is really secondary listening as well as to get your son hooked onto something.

Makes the Sony 1000mx4 seem like a bargain

Nitty Gritty courtesy of Stretch from a while back. If I was going new, I’d be looking at the Okki Noki or one of those new Project VCS models (the nicer aluminum one). The standard VPI 16.5 usually can be had for a decent used price as well, and I can vouch for the Nitty Gritty and all their various models, which basically the Record Doctor thing Steve posted above essentially is.

If you want Christmas without the normal schtick: very creative arrangements and if you’re familiar with Elling, his vocal styling is in a class of its own.

How user friendly are you wanting this thing to be? I'm a technics fanboy myself simply because they are stupidly easy to use and setup, require no maintenance, will most likely last longer then you will be alive (sorry), and the direct drive ensures that pitch won't get all wobbly or fluttery on you. Technics has the new models of various price points which are all quality, or you can go old school Mk2 on the used market to practice your wicka-wicka for your upcoming rave or techno dance party.

Looks great! Gotta love the use of the fozometer thingy to make sure the stereo separation is on point. (also, I believe that the unit is not degrees, but in DB, so the stereo separation from Left to Right is at -40DB (at least) which yes I'd agree is pretty solid)

He's a jazz lover - I'll accept it

Joe Jackson - Night and Day

Doing dinner prep - prepping a traditional style Filipino adobo with chicken thighs. Currently marinating in soy, white vinegar, garlic and bay leaf. While the thighs are cooking, I’ll reduce that marinade down to a glaze, and serve over rice.

Record Store Day Drop #3! Hit up 2 places, all well coordinated and managed and excelllent Covid protocols. Was basically able to grab most of what I was looking for

And of course you had to have a book matched pair for the faceplates. Got damn it’s gorgeous.
