| Length of speaker cables @steven0713,Just one more comment, as a way of making an analogy.Going from the Rocket 88 to William Tell Zero is analogous to looking at beautiful scenery through a highly transparent and very clean pane of glass. And then, opening the window.En... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @michaelwise, very cool and excellent music. That reminds me to get out my original copy of Return To Forever, 'Romantic Warrior'. Sounds to me like a good one to play tonight, following 'Avalon'. I have a pending order for the soon-to-release ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Hey, thanks for the heads-up earlier in this thread about the Buffalo Springfield box set. I just now bought one of the remaining copies. I'm looking very forward to receiving it. Awesome music!Bryan Ferry; 'Boys and Girls' What a great album,... | |
| How much space between cables is enough? I coil mine around the water heater much differently. I go from top to bottom, and it must be a minimum of three wraps. Phenomenal difference! Enlightening to the Nth degree. Though I am kidding, of course, somebody might actually try this. O... | |
| Length of speaker cables steven0713,First of all, the quote from Richard Vandersteen is absolutely correct. This is my experience. I went from 15' to 8' of the same Rocket 88 speaker cable and found a slight, but noticeable difference in details against a black background... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I also have Joni Mitchel 'Court & Spark' on Nautilus. I listened to it just a few weeks ago. Sounds great! I have always loved that album since it first released and still have my original copy, too. I have her album 'Blue' on order. I u... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? uberwaltz, thanks for that information. I'll clean up my copy of the one I have, today, and listen to it. Here's a short story about Hot Tuna. I had tickets to a Jefferson Airplane and Moody Blues concert at the Forum. I can't remember the rea... | |
| What other hobby... I'm with oldheavymech in that I have a lot of gas still in the tank. That said...Downhill skiing. I enjoy the art of tuning my skis and getting the most out of them. Quick, sharp, and precise turns that secure the most g-force.Offshore fishing.... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @j_damon,I have an original copy of Hot Tuna but mine shows RCA Records from 1971. I'm not sure if there was an album released prior to the one I have. So I have a question. Is the one you have a gatefold jacket that is blue & yellow swirle... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Loggins & Messina / 'Full Sail'I have a "Super Disc" copy done by Direct-Disc Labs who, when in business, were located in Nashville. Though they did make actual direct-to-disc recordings those were rather few. They did, however, get licensed... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw,I also have a 1973 Track copy of Quadrophenia (by the way, I saw the North American tour of Quadrophenia at the Fabulous Forum in Inglewood, CA. in 1974). It's in VG++ condition and sounds good. However, last year I secured a "new" copy of... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw,I first listened to a few albums as a warmup, for my tubes as well as for me. Now that my system was in best-sound operation (and I had a hit along with some wine) I too was in best-sound reception mode.The vinyl of that Alan Parsons Mo/Fi... |
