H.E. Pennypacker Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) Another album that sounds like my childhood: NM+ (media) US 1st pressing. As it fast approaches 50 years old, I’m impressed the cover serves its purpose. Edited August 14, 2019 by furtherpale 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100resu Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) I have just taken delivery of the Luxman EQ-500 to match my PD171a. will need a few hours of run in but already.......wow......much fuller sound with huge improvement in bass response, lower background noise and the pops and crackles are a lot less intrusive Edited August 14, 2019 by 100resu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only released on vinyl in the UK.....rare as hen's teeth I would imagine. Enjoy yours you lucky bastard! Luxman? I love Luxman....my first amp and second cassette deck were Luxman (L3 and K5). Still have them in storage. Beautiful gear. Alas, the new stuff is out of my reach for now. Edited August 15, 2019 by stevoz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
