I have a 14 tube (matched EL-84 P-P output) 1959 Fisher C-810 console with the original Garrard RC/121 MkII turntable for 78s and a Kenwood KD-2000 (Grado Prestige Pickup) running through an ART DJPre II pre-amp for LPs. I recently weaned my LP collection down to about 200 focusing mainly on early vocalists like Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughn, and Julie London; classicals like Swan Lake, and the 1812 Overture; instrumentals like Benny Goodman, Jack Teagarden, and Eddie Duchin; and some specific cast albums like South Pacific with Ezio Pinza & Mary Martin. If your only exposure to South Pacific is the movie with Mitzi Gaynor then you really need to hear Pinza, he'll blow your socks off.
