My sincerest apologies Jeff! I just went through this with a fellow on CAM! I had to take him to task as he hadn't even played the records he was selling, and representing as 'NM'. It is only now that I fully realize my own hipocrisy and the irony...

Xagwell, 45 rpms (sealed) are going for around 300-400$$ ! For opened mint copies , things seem to be all over the map! I'll take pix of mine this weekend. Just got home from the Jimmy Cobb kind of blue at 50 show..... Amazing, amazing show! I fel...

Sorry for the confusion Wendell! I was under the impression that Columbia stopped pressing kob in the early eighties! I wasn't taking reissues etc. Into account. I looked it over again today, and strangely, there is virtually no ring wear, but lot...

The cover is completely intact, no ring wear, but very yellowed with some marks on the back. What gets me is the condition of the vinyl itself! I guess I will have to listen to it verrry sparingly! Thanks guys! 
why so quiet?
What did you hook it up to? the cartridge itself puts out a miniscule signal, so it must go into a phono section on your amp or receiver, or a phono preamp before going into your amp. Forgive me if you already know this. 
Looking for a phono preamp
Not true, I tried an el cheapo 'tcc' phono pre, and found it to be a step up from the NAD 2 I had previously. Granted, neither of the units is cutting edge, but it gave me enough performance to marginally outshine my cd player. They are about 75 b... 
Bottlehead seduction vs minimax phono
No change of mind here Paul, just canvassing in hope of hearing from someone who has actually done a side by side with the two. My query came about because of your post in the ' giant killers' thread, I noticed you referred to the EE first, and wa...
