Just ordered the new Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers record from Blue Note and the Best of Sade album (Epic/Sony). Can't wait to spin them tomorrow evening 😁.
The international releases for this aren't exactly my taste. Here in the Netherlands two records where high in my list though. May see in August if I see some release that then catches my eye. ;)
After some time with searching for the turntable to replace the defective Thorens TD-160, I eventually went for a Pro-ject turntable. My setup current consists of:
Amplifier: Advanced Acoustic X-i 105
Speakers: Tannoy Revolution XT8F with Ogata speaker cables
Turntable: Pro-ject The Classic EVO...
That would be Nightwish at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam November 26th in 2018. With the second place to last year's November with Halestorm at the AFAS live in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Both concerts where amazing!

After getting a new or second hand record I'll clean it with a microfiber cloth and a cleaning solution from Tonar. Which is based on the known water, alcohol combination.
For new records one cleaning session is enough, for 2nd hand records I'll clean them two times. Which is mostly more than...
Last week my Thorens TD160 died and now after some repairs on it I've come to the conclusion to buy a new one. Now I'm in the dilemma of buying a Rega Planar 6 or the Ultradeck.
