1 In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra (Capitol) 1955

One of the sheffield labs discs, Lincoln Mayorga and Distinguished Colleagues "Missing Linc" II . direct to disk..

apparently it was a disc that Marantz got from Sheffield to send to its distributors to use as demo discs for Marantz equipment.. there was even a blank order form inside, as well as instructions from a Marantz suit...on official Marantz letterhead.

anyway.. the disc is amazing, sound wise. Just jawdropping amazing..

if you can find it, please do.

Would anyone care to opine or recommend a LOMC cartridge in the $200-$500 range for the above genres? It will be mounted to a low/medium mass straight arm pipe (I also have the heavier "S" shaped pipe)for a JVC QL-Y66F table. I'm using a tubed Audio Experience Solo MC step-up into the MM side of a Cambridge 640-P phono amp. The Solo has quite a bit more gain than the MC side of the 640-P alone. I'm using Klipsch speakers so my system leans a little toward the bright side. Any and all opinions and/or recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Interestingly PIMCO looks to be one of the 1st to move forward in its lack of confidence in government bonds of UK and America.
This could cause aggravation for both governments as it puts the interest up on future loans they look to secure.

Good read if interested:

John,

I went to order 'While You Are Alive' but aborted the transaction when I saw that delivery of the $16.95 disc to Europe would cost $15.95. You are probably aware that Amazon marketplace sellers manage to deliver CDs from the US to Europe for
