Putz - enjoy the Aries, I only brought my Super ScoutMaster back online this afternoon after realizing 3 or 4 weeks ago some of the setup was off. I had a dickens of a time figuring out the VTA adjustment until I spoke with a VPI dealer at the recent Capitol Audio Fest.

Picking up the table and picking the owner's brain was invaluable as he was so knowledgeable about the rig. We also A-B'd my cart with 3 high end carts he owns (He has that many VPI arm wands). The Grado didn't suck so I'm happy not to have to be in the new cart market. The VPI manual sucks so seeing him do the setup was awesome. Hopefully the VPI dealer was as helpful for you.

I felt kind of ghoulish but I ordered a new copy of Amy Winehouse's Back To Black which I had never heard before.
It reminded me a lot of the girl groups with the beehives from the 60s.

This album is not for me. I could not get through the first side--just awful.

I will never play it again. Time to trade it in at 4000 Holes.

Silk Degrees
Boz Scaggs | Format: vinyl

A good album that got lost in the 'disco haze' of the '70s. The studio musicians backing Boz on this went on to form Toto.

I took my near mint copy of Silk Degrees to two used record stores. They both refused to take it! It's off to the charity store.

No kidding, although I have Octopus and like it a lot better than this one.

This was their last great one. But still a step down from Free Hand.

One of the best bands ever. Unbelievable live.

Laura, understood. I think Bill is right also, Gentle Giant is an acquired taste. They have 'grown' on me, my first spinnings of Three Friends their 3rd lp (i think) were very disappointing to me, yet even this one has grown on me. I think Acquiring The Taste is one to give a listen to.

simoon, I can only image what they were like seeing them perform live

Playing The Fool their live lp has a great sound to it
