Most audiophiles have marked in their calendar a “REASONable” date for the next purchase - a date that is commonly associated with an occasion to celebrate. Since I told myself many times that I will hold all audio equipment purchase until we moved to our new home; last Saturday, I was digging unsorted records in the flea market and I was lucky to find two Sinatra sealed records for Canadian $3 each . I guess this will be my Fathers Day’s gift for myself.
I must have 5 or 6 Sinatra albums already but the album on the top is the best of them all in terms of recording quality. The material is also excellent! The record on the bottom has excellent material but the recording quality is average.
The Best of Frank Sinatra (Capitol SN-516109)

All the way

What's new
Willow weep for me
Good-bye
Blues in the night
Guess i'll hang my tears out to dry

I was wondering why the previous owner sold something as pristine and even "sealed" for such a bargain basement price of $ 3.
It was your lucky day - I couldve bought it myself and maybe sold it to ebay! :) Great find, William.
If you plan to upgrade your system, there's someone waiting for them to be bought :)
Junnie, that's exactly what Josh and Adrian said when I mentioned that I can easily sell them for $30 each at e-bay.
But, I decided to keep them since I am buying new old stock (NOS) records bago magkawalaan na. I noticed that NOS pressing quality are most often better than new release pressings. I also noticed that used records, even good pressings and even if the vinyl media is in excellent condition, can sound dull if the previous owner's tone arm and cartridge/needle were not optimally (or worst not properly) setup.
Of course you will be the first to know my marketplace. I will also post some el-cheapo but no-nonsense analog front end startup system that can be assembled from Ontario used market to give you some idea.
