Prince And The Revolution - 1985 US Allied Record Company Pressing

I wish Lew Johnson was not retired as I am no fan of the new industrial design of the ART 88. plain jane almost fugly. maybe it will grow on me. Hopefully it sounds wonderful. Interestingly it has 4 x PCC88's now.

Lisa Marie Presley – Storm & Grace - my signed copy when I saw her live 10 years ago. excellent album produced by T Bone Burnett. passed away today @ age 54 - far too young. RIP Lisa Marie and say hi to dad for all of us.

I have only heard good things about the umbilical cables from RA. About 6 weeks ago I had Brad do an umbilical cable for my Phasemation EA-1200 phono stage. Very happy and highly recommended. He even uses the custom Japanese connectors Phasemation use.

Underrated INXS album. Michael still singing magnificently . Elegantly Wasted indeed. 25 years later to the day, RIP Michael. You are greatly missed.

Low – Trust - RIP Mimi 55 years is far too young

My vinyl copy of Animals arrived last week. to start off, Record Industry should be ashamed of the pressing quality - all over both sides, side two especially there are ticks and pops that during the quieter bits are annoying and should not be there. see discogs and unfortunately this...

came in last week - new phono EA-1200

Bryan Ferry ‎– Boys And Girls - "hot stamper" original US pressing - luv this album musically and sound quality is insane.

Orb DF-02 record flattener. had it for over 10 years now and the best $$ I have spent on music/hifi. warped and dished vinyl no longer causes any issues - I use it more than ever these days.

Morrissey ‎– California Son

..

Lyra Atlas Lambda SL. Brand new Lambda version which sounds a little different to the old one and gone from green body to purple. crazy price for new, but Lyra have generous rebuild prices for existing customers.

the night before the hifi show - those espresso martini's were good.
