Call it psychedelic garage blues soul kraut rock meets country jazz in an AM Gold battle for your dial. Or whatever. It's just distinctly them and I love it.
The cover art by Michael Eaton is some of the best on record shelves in 2016.

I can’t be the only one here who is disappointed that we don’t get to see what Jack White’s stereo looks like.
this is a fresh feature… my audiotronics portable is still holdin it down after 20 years…. oh yea!!!!
Running a Pro-ject RPM-1 with a Pearl Sumiko cart – love this rig for it’s open sound stage in my place! Recent listening favorites is Dire Straights “Making Movies”, Bong Load’s new reissue of Beck’s “Odelay” and The Clash “Sandinista!”.
Just got my Audio-Technica AT-LP1240 USB 3 weeks ago that I loaded with a Shure M97xE cartridge. What a beaut!!
Rega RP3 w Dynavector 10X cart highly recommended . Upgraded from an RP1…which is a great turntable. Most of the time when I ask myself ‘upgrade or buy more records?’ I buy more records. Thankfully I have my priorities…most of the time.
I had narrowed my new turntable purchase down to a Rega and a VPI when the LP12 fell into my lap at such a great price I couldn’t pass it up.
Im a big Rega fan, ive got the RP3 with a 2m blue cart and love it. They make seriously good turntables for a few price brackets. Bit jealous of a lp12 and mcintosh though!
I have the same table as Blackwell and love it (there is now a new version coming out), but am thinking of upgrading preamp and speakers, so suggestions welcome.
Yes, the Marantz 6300 is very good. I have its baby brother, the 6100, in the spare room.
Roe has my vote. I traded my 6300 for a 6110. But enjoyed the 6300 a lot. Solid tables
