Great sound and picture quality, and the scope and breadth of the artists who perform is truly amazing!

Ballads: Stanley Turrentine
Stanley Turrentine | Format: Audio CD

A mellow bluesy/soul jazz outing from Mr. T. Enjoying it on a lazy Monday afternoon.

And it starts with still another version of "Willow Weep For Me", now that I realize how much I like this tune I hear it everywhere.

Santa brought me the gold CD of the same album. Sounds good, but still not as good as the vinyl (but then again it is a lot easier to play in the car.  :D )

OK Pete, I picked up a  Caig's kit over two months ago and it has been sitting on the shelf ever since.  :roll:

You've shamed me into it.  :oops:  I'll have to stop and do a thorough cleaning tonight.

Well, I cleaned and tightened all of my connections and then gave my QRP Tillerman LP a whirl and it certainly sounded significantly better. I guess I have been a bit negligent with my general maintenance routines.

Dinah Washington: Dinah '62

Roulette LP

Not a bad performance, but the SQ is only so-so. Kind of hard and edgy.
