dromunds Vinyl Karma

edited August 2013 in The Clubhouse
I had the pleasure of meeting dromunds a few months ago as he brought some gear over to my place for us to listen to. While he was here, he left me a pair of interconnects to evaluate with my TT. He let me keep them as long as I needed.

More recently he sent me some vinyl to check out. A few of the albums I'll be sending back, but 5 Grateful Dead albums are mine to keep. I am humbled at his generosity.

So for those that don't already know...dromunds is a high-quality member of this forum, and I am hosting this Karma with his blessing.

One of the albums he gave me I already have, so I am offering it here.

The only qualifications are...
1) You don't have this album
2) You will spin this album
3) Also, just for fun, tell us what table and cart you are using.

Good Luck!!!

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....
