Vinyl Selection

Our Vinyl Choices

We thought it might be of interest to some people if we listed some of the vinyl that we like or have listened to simply for pleasure. This is by no means an exhaustive list or the best recordings in the world. Hopefully it is a selection of well liked albums and songs over a variety of genres.

We can't do anything to make a bad recording better, we can however extract every ounce of music embedded in the groove. CD enthusiasts would weep at what the Caliburn brings out of vinyl - Caliburn owners tend to smile to themselves a lot :-)
