I went to The Continental Club with Rega’s Paul Darwin (and BFF, Angela “G-Luv” Tragus) to see Alejandro Escovedo & the Sensitive Boys last night. Al dedicated the set to Lou Reed, played a few of his songs and said, “without Lou, none of us would be standing up here right now”. If he comes to your town… GO!
You will get a taste of what “real” Austin music is all about.

Here’s a bad pic of a Rega Saturn-R “mock up”. It’s just the casework. You’ll be able to hear the real deal at the Rega Hootenanny! Friday, October 25th. 6-9pm. Come drink a few beers with Rega UK’s Paul Darwin. Ask him about his escapades (he’s gonna kill me) as promoter for The Smiths and tour manager for Tears For Fears!
The Saturn-R is a CD player and DAC. It has 5 digital inputs so you can take advantage of the 192/24 dual Wolfson DAC’s on board. Hook up your Blue Ray DVD player, Computer, etc.
Also on hand will be the new Aria phono stage, Elicit-R integrated amp and RP8 turntable!
I just ordered up a pair of Harbeth M30.1.
Overwhelming inquires have “forced” me to get these on the floor ASAP! Here’s a nice REVIEW using the Heed Obelisk Si integrated amp / X2 power supply and Leben which I also have to demo.
As I was opening the shop this morning, some producers from Vice were walking by and asked if I would be willing to host an interview in the shop today. “With who?” I asked. “BIG SEAN..” Nice guy. He even had a bodyguard. I did mention that he could get a Naim system in a Bentley..
He thought the Rega RP3 was nice.
I have your dust cover solution! The Well Tempered Amadeus doesn’t come with one. Luckily, I have found an excellent company called STEREO SQUARES. These guys can make any kind of cover you can think up. The Amadeus cover is $299. 3-4 weeks ETA.
Precious D & G-Luv approved!!
10% off all records from now until October 26th. This will coincide with the AUSTIN RECORD CONVENTION as well as the Rega Hootennany on Friday, October 25th (6pm). Come get your “meep” on!
