I am not gay but I do sneak some early Boy George when no one is looking.

DTB -
If you're getting into classical and you liked Sheherezade, many of the "Living Stereo" RCAs (those that start with LSC) are usually great recordings. These are available on cd reissues and on new vinyl. The vinyl copies are produced by Classic Records and their quality is terrific. You may wish to pick up Tschaikovsky's Violin Concerto (Heifetz on violin) - a guilty pleasure of mine - (on cd or lp) and see what you think.

Thanks for the info. The Sheherezade is a SACD, three-channel version and I really like it. I have yet to listen to the second part - Stravinsky - Song of the Nightengale.

The only problem so far that I have with classical, is I cannot get into any of them with vocals. I have found that I like the Baroque era the best - Telemann being my favorite, but I have found other composers that I like too.

Rhapsody Streaming Audio has helped me in my search for classical that I like.

The Jackson Five "Greatest Hits" and Michael Jackson "Thriller."

I might have that one, time to do some steam cleaning (best way to clean vinyl) - think it was the wife's old stuff.

Hey Roberto -

That Blood Sweat & Tears (ca. 1970?) was going to be the first guilty pleasure that I was going to list too! What about early Chicago, The Blues Project, early Dylan, etc.?

BTW - SME 10, Graham 1.5t with 2.2 bearing and ceramic wand, Shelter 90x.
Need recommendations for appropriate phono stage.

Peter Frampton - Frampton Comes Alive

Probably throw that on a couple of times per year. Needs to be very loud!

Yes, love Chicago, and what about Chicano and Chase? (3 trumpets here with very good arranged)...also I like Bob James and Eumir Deodato. There are so many good music and musicians around! I thanks God for this!!!!

Regarding your phono set up, you have a super vinyl stage!!!...I love the sound of C-J on phono pre-amp...I just love tube sound. Also try a Sota head amp...it is class A amp and when I had my Golmund Studio (now the arm is broken) I used it a lot giving one of the best scenarios that I have ever had. Try to get some MPingo discs for your turntable...(www.shunmook.com)...they really work!

Still have all my Lps collection and are in good shape thanks to nitty gritty and vps record cleanning machines...I make my own clinning fluid.

Cheers,
Roberto.

Why would you feel guilty about those selections?

I was listenning to a 90x with an Airtight phono stage (in fact all Airtight amplification) last week using the big Nottingham table with an SME V arm to drive some Avalon speakers. Sounded great! Better than GREAT! Like a Koetsu with balls!

I have a 501 on order. It was suppose to in yesterday. It was a no show. BOO! WHOO! Damn stereophile review!

I found that 501 closer to the 90x than the 901. The 901 is a bit dry and analytical. Wish I could shell out for the 90x.

Just 'cause they came from my immature, impetuous youth. I really do find it difficult to listen to the stuff I grew up with (PP&M, Baez, J. Collins,etc.) I don't know why.

I hear the 501 is, in many ways, a better cart than the 901. (Told to me by a salesperson in THE major audio salon in NYC. I ordered my 90x from Music Direct on the net. Delivery time was about 2 weeks.

As long as Boy George does not sneak into you when no one is looking - you are okay.

This could be taken SO many ways!
