Stop Making Sense Karma! Analog and digital!

This karma is for a limited edition Talking Heads Stop Making Sense LP with booklet and a TH SMS CD with small booklet. If you didn’t know, this is a live 1984 soundtrack of the Talking Heads film with the same name.

The LP appears to be in nice shape. I’ll clean it with a RCM for sure and try and give it a listen before the karma ends. Some sticker residue in the upper right corner takes away from an otherwise beautiful jacket. The booklet is in nice condition. Both of my Stop Making Sense LP’s are very well recorded and I would expect this one will sound every bit as good.

The CD case has some mars, and the CD has some scuff marks but it plays OK. The booklet is in good shape.

Open to all CP members. This karma will produce two winners. Declare yourself in for the LP or CD, but not both. As a plus, tell us why we should all stop making sense. I’ll pick a winner Sunday night, 01/17.
Salk SoundScape 8's * Audio Research Reference 3 * Bottlehead Eros Phono * Park's Audio Budgie SUT * Krell KSA-250 * Harmonic Technology Pro 9+ * Signature Series Sonore Music Server w/Deux PS * Roon * Gustard R26 DAC / Singxer SU-6 DDC * Heavy Plinth Lenco L75 Idler Drive * AA MG-1 Linear Air Bearing Arm * AT33PTG/II & Denon 103R * Richard Gray 600S * NHT B-12d subs * GIK Acoustic Treatments * Sennheiser HD650 *

    Excellent karma! I'm in for the LP which makes no sense, as I don't yet have a TT. But I will... so it would be really nice to have.

    In for the LP of course. I have the CD and it makes no sense that it should sound as good as a hunk of vinyl.

    However, I haven't heard its Stop Making Sense LP brethren yet so there's no sense in making the first statement.:D

    I didn't think I'd be around today/tonight, so I done it before rather than not at all because I couldn't have done it at all if I wasn't here, and then I'd be totally non-compliant where being early would be partially compliant with Sunday though it wouldn't be Sunday night but at least it would be Sunday and no one would wonder why I didn't comply at all.

    polkateste, I got your PM and will send the LP out next week.
