On now...





Thompson Twins--"Here's To Future Days"...Arista Records, 1985.



Kids, don't let this one fool you--it is a fantastic record that is an audiophiles dream--lots of very well produced synth sounds and some pretty poppy music too!!

This is one of my favorite records from the '80's pop era. This is not a reissued record--it is a 30 year old record that sounds phenomenal...!!!

Pick it up if you can find a copy.

10,000 Maniacs--"In My Tribe"...Electra Records, 1987.


I also have this on a Mobile Fidelity Silver Series 180g pressing, however, I prefer this copy, which is the original 1987 pressing on 150g.

Anyone looking for a pair of speakers in the $2800 range?

If so, there is a great pair of Focal 946 on AudioGon now. These are a heavy, substantial speaker with a 1" tweeter, 6.5" mid, and (2) 10" woofers (that pretty big bass!) in each tower.

I used to own a pair about 10 years ago, and these things are exceptional.

They were $7500 when first released in 2001.

Long, long time lurker...

Finally getting to break this in, I know the 120 isn't the finest turntable, but it works for what I'm looking for right now.

First true spin after tone arm balancing and everything belongs to one of my favorite records...180g reissue



Hope y'all don't mind if I pop in from time to time...thankful to Marco and everyone else for the tips & advice
