Gosh ... let's see ... 4 copies of Amon Duul 2's Wolf City, 2 copies of Can's Ege Bamyasi, 2 copies of Klaus Schulze's Mirage, 3 copies of Tangerine Dream's Phaedra, 2 copies of Stackridge's Mr Mick, 3 copies of Gong's You, probably 4 copies of Close to the Edge, and at least 2 copies of Atom Heart Mother, and ... 2 copies of "Live on Blueberry Hill" by Led Zeppelin ... the best  bootleg I have ever heard in my life. Lastly, 2 copies of at least one of the original Raving and Drooling/Gotta Be Crazy, that was delayed by you know who. And all this was with a very nice Pioneer turntable and a Stanton Cartridge that lasted 30 years after it cost me $300 dollars in 1978!
 
Probably more albums, too! I even came to dislike the CD version of Wolf City, with the song order backwards. Somehow, Side 2 at the front, did not sound as nice and fine as the album ever did! I thought the transition from Side 1 to Side 2 was perfect! And in the CD it didn't work backwards!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Jon and Vangelis - The Friend Of Mr Cairo has the same mess on CD. Backward it doesn't work much.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Is this the same Jimmy Page that DIDN'T use the original master tapes but the digital remastered versions for the new Led Zeppelin Vinyl re-issues???

Well, didn't Steven Wilson explain this, rather lucidly, to you all:

The Creator has a master tape
But He left it in the cab 

Case closed Tongue

I'm gonna say one thing. I cannot live without my DAC (Digital Analog Converter.) especially for headphone listening.

It is an essential part of my music listening experience. Can't be out of the equation of my sound chain or it all goes to sh*t. Lol.
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣
