What's Spinning

The Jack Wilson Quartet Featuring Roy Ayers - Call Me Jazz From The Penthouse (Century 67 Records, 2020 RSD 2LP Pressing on Blue Vinyl)

This was a fantastic release which came before the first wave of RSD releases (it was meant to be an RSD release but when the official date was cancelled it was released anyway). A superb live session (seriously good) which sees a young Roy Ayres in the group. Well worth picking up.

Pretty sure I've got that same receiver with a bunch of other vintage components in my basement shrine. It was my wife's go-to back in the 70s/80s. Nice unit!
That's awesome! This one was my dad's, it's an absolute unit.

Is that a Dual 1219 I see? I've got my dad's old 1215, but I need to get it fixed up before it will be usable.

Yes! My Dual 1219 is my pride and joy. I have a Thorens 125 II with SME 2009 II (non improved) tonearm that I also use, and a Thorens TD-160 with a Rega arm, but for some reason my Dual gets the most use. No doubt the fact it's automatic helps, but the damn thing just sounds good to me.
