The first I've heard of this brand - always looking for something new to try in my mint juleps. Thanks!

For this recommendation: Sonno Versa CoolMax Mattress from Design Within Reach.

phil - where do you find fitted bottom sheets? - I've had the sonno prima for a few years and can't find fitted sheets made for 8 or 9" mattress anywhere - (I'm really sick of the elastic strap/clips for the corners - too much hassle!) - thx! jill

For this recommendation: Gibson Custom Shop L-5 Wes Montgomery archtop guitar.

I made a guitar for a client (I make archtop guitars) and he said he would like it "old violin" color, the same as another guitar that I had showed him. Today, I discovered that it was Wine Red. When I applied the color, I went automatically to the tone that I really liked. I searched for wine red archtops in the web and found your opinion... sure, I agree, wine red is a killer!

Sorry for my English, I am from Spain.

For this recommendation: Denon DL103 Moving Coil Phono Cartridge.

Great review.

I agree, the DL-103 delivers a good dose of what some of the very best moving coils sound like for a ridiculously low price. I'd say it's only faults are slightly weak vocals imaging (and that fault seems to disappear after I sit and listen for a few minutes) and a slightly thick midrange that causes just a touch of "haze" and harshness (compared to the VERY best).

I have not found anything that sounds better yet at a price I can afford. The tonal balance is excellent, it's hard to believe the detail extracted by the conical stylus... and I find the DL-103 is just much more musical and pleasant to listen to than some more expensive cartridges that get some things right, but just aren't as easy to live with in the end. The DL-103 has stood up to several challengers and I can't see it losing it's place on the end of my tonearm anytime soon.

There are a couple sellers on eBay from countries where the DL-103 sells for less that are selling the DL-103 for around $175.00 shipped. That's where I got mine. It's a steal at $229.00... I don't know what to call it at $175.00...

If it moves, I'm interested. If it moves me, even more. If I'm not in motion, something around me, on me, or in me...
