Count me as another LP12 owner, with ITTOK LVII/ AT 33 MLocc / Lundahl sut. Audible Illusions Mod3, Cary 40Mse monoblocks, Triagle Titus 202 monitors, AR3a used as subs- powered by a MAC 2100. I also have a AR-ES1 Shure V15-Vmr / Musical Fidelity A3.2 integrated/ Spica TC50 combo as my computer system…can spin vinyl while surfing the net, and I can also rip vinyl to digital for playback downstairs in the HT.

I have a listening room upstairs, and can choose whatever volume I want….but as I get older, I don’t listen quite as loud as I did when younger.

It seems a lot of jazz lovers enjoy the LP12, including myself. It also seems many jazz lovers especially love listening to jazz when their better half is away from the house, also including me. Thanks for the great post! Recently a few LP’s I’ve been listening to are Sahib Shihab- Sentiments, Don Sleet- All Members, Sonny Clark Trio on Time, Hank Mobley- Soul Station and Michel Sardaby- Gail.

Several evenings ago I enjoyed several lps… EXPLORATIONS by Teo Macero on 10″ Debut / THE ELMO HOPE TRIO on Hifi and the PRESTIGE JAZZ QUARTET with Teddy Charles and Mal Waldron. Did my taxes and had some vodka & lemonade while listening.

Agreed Clifford. I have the second pressing; in fact I just played it maybe only a few weeks ago. A fantastic session with an all star lineup.

The Gaslini mentioned upthread is really something… would love to have an original, of course.

The Am-Pars were the first pressing on the Impulse A-10’s Mac, here’s a great this link from our friend the London jazz collector for reference:

I had an interesting evening on Sunday in Tokyo, visiting a number of record shops on a business layover. If you have the opportunity in Tokyo, visits to Disk Union’s stores in Shibuya and Shinjuku are a must. They have separate levels for various genres, including jazz. The Shinjuku jazz store is a standalone store, very large and well stocked. I found that the prices were not has exorbitant as I had feared. I found Prestige All Star’s All Night Long ($200) and Wheelin’ and Dealin’ ($300), and Art Pepper Two Altos ($150), all in EC for vinyl and cover. I picked up a NM copy of Coltrane’s Live at the Village Vanguard on Impulse A-10 in stereo with the Am-Par label for $55 (the shop owner maintained it was a second pressing … didn’t understand the Am-Par importance). Anyway, I could have spent an entire day in Disk Union and RecoFan … and spent more money than I should have. I will definitely set aside more time should I get there again.

…I’ll second that one for this evening Adamski ! (As fate would have it the wife is out at a class this evening, so its just gonna be me, Oscar and Frank, with Count Basie and his orchestra circa 1966, live from the famed Copa Room at the Sands Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas… In a command performance from my listening room via a refurbished / upgraded vintage Oracle Delphi MKii, McIntosh C50 / MC275 / Paradigm 75f’s)
