New Rega P10 setup
Mark, I owned the P10 for about 22 months and really enjoyed it.  It's a quick turntable, very fast attack on kick drum, snare drum, and great with following a good bass line (bass guitar).  I wish that I had more room so I could keep it.  I upgr...

Hey Steve, I also have Broken Heart.  I'll have to pull that one out and play it soon, too.  It's a great album, as I recall.  
New Rega P10 setup
@marktheshark No matter the cartridge you use, the P10 will greatly benefit from sitting on a proper platform.   On top of your rack is fine, as long as you use an additional platform, turntable specific.  I highly recommend the Symposium Acousti...

The Beatles  -  Revolver   An issue from around 1970.  Cleaned it up and considering how many times it was on a console stereo it isn't too bad. Superb music. The Babys  -  Head First   An often overlooked late 70s band. The Cars  -  The Cars   ... 
MoFi controversy
Very good start!  I love the product and will continue to buy it. It sounds very good.  Now, let's see how they live up to their word with total transparency and authenticity. That statement needs to be on more than just Instragram.  I'll check t...

Yes, it is about deceptive marketing practices.  And that is why I suggested they need to dive in deeper in their Technology tab and describe the entire process, full disclosure.  They are very good at marketing, and they need to do a good job now...

A couple of weeks ago we were discussing the reissue of Talking Heads, 'Speaking In Tongues'.  It's back in stock now at Acoustic Sounds, as of today.  The SQ is excellent on this recording and the vinyl quality and pressing is also excellent and ...

DSD is now included in the description under the Technologies tab as well as posted with each individual UD1S album.  NOTE:  There are a few albums without the DSD statement added.  I'm not sure if that means the album was created from the origina...

George Benson  -  Breezin   My copy is good, but not superb.  A little flat and lacking in bottom end.  Probably a late pressing in the particular stamper.  Still sounds good and is superb music.  I have had this since it first released. Sonny Ro...

Steve, let me know about the new Barrabas albums you're getting.  I really like the one you recommended last year.  I listen to it regularly, it's excellent.  If the others are as good, please let me know and I'll get one or more.

Yeah, the zeppelin never made it to So. Cal., either.  But we all had hemostats.  In fact, still do.😁 After yardwork today, relaxed with a few good ones. David Sanborn  -  Straight To The Heart   This is a live album and the recording is fairly ...

To answer Jims question, NO!  The new speakers have not yet arrived.  The owner of Daedalus Audio (the brand of my speakers on order) is also the Director of the Pacific Audio Fest.  He called me two days ago, very apologetic, and admitted that ta...

Well, the MoFi version is now going from between $110 to $165 and mostly from European markets.  I think my copy will server me well.😊

Regarding the Procol Harum album (I am a big fan of Procol Harum and was fortunate to see them in 1971, in a very close seating position), I recently purchased it as a reissue from MOV.  The SQ was so poor that I contacted MOV and inquired about i...
