I had to search the thread and make sure you hadn't already posted it sir

quad stacked Quad ESL57

More vinyl. Lots more. All jazz and Hendrix Axis Bold mono on Classic.

finished John Coltrane - Lush Life (Fantasy 45 vinyl)

I received mine a couple of days ago, but I'll be waiting until the holidays to open it

Stardeath and White Dwarfs - The Birth another one of my favorites from '09

Anyone that missed out on the Charlie Brown Fantasy 45, AcousticSounds "mysteriously" (cough) found another pile of them in their warehouse. The Fantasy sounds fantastic, did a short few minute comparison with the OJC CD; no contest!

Fantasy 45 vinyl

They've been getting hit hard with so many orders and projects. I can imagine that combined with the Christmas rush for all these new products is causing the problems. I was looking forward to picking up the ORG releases, Bernie does some great mastering. And they've certainly contracted some choice titles.

That is a bit strange. The ORG are pressed at Pallas right? If so, Pallas is having some QC issues recently. Screwed up Neil Young 140g's and the box set. And the new Flaming Lips record had some issues too (also pressed at Pallas). A real shame since they're usually tops.

If nothing else it wins best album art of 2009

Is the record warped? Or some other anomaly (ie off centered pressing)? Sort of related, but how much of the lead in groove does the periphery ring clamp cover up? I have some records with really narrow lead in grooves (usually vintage Mofi vinyl).

The ER-6i are supposed to be really durable though aren't they?

Supertramp - Crime of the Century (MFSL vinyl)

It is a great time to be a jazz fan (supposedly another 80 Blue Note titles from Music Matters). I just wish there were more blues reissues. Just picked up this one used, Fantasy 45.

Genesis - Nursery Cryme (uk pink charisma vinyl)

Mosaic, 4 LP

I don't have it yet. Same thing happens to me, I end up buying something else Sonny Clark - Cool Struttin' (MM45 vinyl)

I'm sure there is someone that is interested in a Grado RS-1 with 6-foot APS V3 cable (super nylon sleeve, 1/8" plug with solid 1/4" adapter). I'm haunted by the replinthed Garrard 301/Triplanar/EMT cart that I heard this weekend, just incredible.

Henry Cow - Late

Of the out of print ones my favorites are Johnny C, Tina Brooks and Horace Parlan. Cape Verdean is probably my least favorite of them, but it has one track that just smokes (Nutville). I've picked up nearly all of the ones that are out of print (missing one), and up to about April 2009. I am thinking about adding a subscription starting in January.

Horace Parlan - Speakin My Piece (MM45 vinyl) Neil Young - s/t (180g box set vinyl)

Maybe someone here might have some insight into this: Vinyl Asylum This is with a brand new DL-110 that replaced a worn 160. I'm hearing the cartridge play music (and it is a decent volume IMO) Otherwise the music sounds fine through the headphones or speakers.

Have a good one Ken!

The holiday I celebrate is Immediate Satisfaction Day
