Hi Ed,

Hope you're still diggin' your new TT. Nothing like spinnin' records! I've pulled a few LPs for you, and I'll send them out this coming week. Here's the list of 7 records. Let me know if you already have a copy. I tried to mix it up a little as well:

Crosby, Still and Nash "Crosby, Stills and Nash" (first album)
Dire Straits "Dire Straits"
Doobie Brothers "Best of the Doobies"
Peter Frampton "Where I Should Be"
REO Speedwagon "Hi Infidelity"
Santana "Inner Secrets"
Steely Dan "Gaucho"

Enjoy and best regards,

Din

So when I ventured into this I knew some tweaking and leveling and general isolating wood need serious consideration and at first although playable I was running into things I wasn't prepared for or didn't have the tools to fix....I'm in an apartment ((1 of 5 units) rented to disable folks by a D&A Rehab here in Allentown--its a great place, 3 yr wait, I'm good, rent is $300 and will never go above that ever) so I called maintenance!!!  LOL.....the synergy was correct....one big 2ft X 2ft 2" thick slab of wood and life is good....perfect for right now, and now this TT just sings and NOW I remember, I remember why I used to race home after gigs and put on headphones and some Roxy Music "AVALON" and totally decompress...Thanks everybody who helped, continues to help me get this together, my health may not be great but my Music appreciation gauge is firmly on "AWESOME"!!!!!   :thumb:

Ed,

I finally found time to clean some of my duplicates, get them boxed up and headed your way. A rock n roll box--Led Zepplin, The Moody Blues, Carole King, Peter Frampton, Paul Simon, UB40, George Harrison, Allman Brothers, Dire Straits, Rolling Stones.

Enjoy,

Laura

Laura--Those sound perfect. Thank you for taking the time and putting that together for me. They should arrive right as we finish up making some more adjustments to the table. Somehow during shipping or my clumsy setup the headshell alignment got wacked so I have my best TT engineers on the problem...LOL...triple time....LOL....this is fun!!!  My 12 year old has been here the past 2 days and when I first played a record for him, he said, "Wow that sounds awesome" so he could hear the difference, I didn't set him up for that comment either. I just played a disk and he snapped around and said "That sounds..." so he's a convert at 12!!!!!! :thumb: :thumb:

Ed,

Which amp are you playing through? The Virtue or the Musical Paradise?

I'm shocked at how good it sounds and we haven't even started to work the signal yet, Dean did a great job getting this TT ready/rebuilt/recovered.
 In a couple months I'll have this thing singin!!!!!! even better so its definitely all good.
